CFA’s vision is innovative. Our operations, products, and engagements will look different from those of other federal public health organizations. To remain on the cutting edge, CFA must work with private industry partners to bring to bear the data and analytical capabilities used in the private sector. We need to learn from them and partner with them. There is not (yet) a robust market for public health data and forecasting tools, but we know there are rich capabilities in the private sector for commercial use. We need to work with the private sector to learn from them and identify opportunities for collaboration so we can figure out how to bend commercial expertise for use in the public health space. CFA is bringing on a chief technology officer to oversee our technology infrastructure, including private sector technologies. In April 2022, CFA hosted our first Industry Day during which people from several private companies shared their ideas about forecasting and outbreak analytics. CFA is partnering with the Data Modernization Initiative and the CDC Foundation to host a second Industry Day February 27–28, 2023, to continue this critical collaboration.
