Response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel Lookadoo, JD, director of legal and public health preparedness for the center, and Lauren Sauer, associate director of research in the Global Center for Health Security, will lead the project at UNMC, which was one of eight institutions to receive contracts for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contracts, awarded by the CDC\u2019s Office of Applied Research, will support the creation of seven regional public health emergency preparedness and response workplans and provide national coordination, technical assistance and training in support of the regional workplan efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regional workplan contracts were awarded to seven of 10 Department of Health and Human Services regions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lookadoo and Sauer will oversee HHS Region 7, which includes Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis award provides an opportunity to build upon the already strong relationships that UNMC has within the region with the many partners engaged in public health emergency preparedness and response efforts,\u201d Lookadoo said. \u201cThe work of this contract will contribute to the overall preparedness of the
