CommonHealth Live! with Rep. Ami Bera

June 26, 2026 • 12:00 – 12:45 pm EDT

In this episode of the CommonHealth Live! series, J. Stephen Morrison will sit down with Representative Ami Bera (CA-06) to discuss the future of U.S. global health security strategy in an era of redefined alliances, geopolitical competition, and the rise of transformative but disruptive technologies such as AI. Please join the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security on June 26 from 12:00-12:45 pm ET for the broadcast conversation. What is the future of global health assistance under the new structure created by the U.S. Health Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs)? How is this model reshaping the role of the State Department and the CDC in global health, and how is it playing out in the context of the unfolding Ebola outbreak? How durable is this compact model, and does it align with long-term strategies Congress is pursuing in other foreign assistance domains, including for critical minerals under the DOMINANCE Act? As the United States pursues a more robust industrial policy in the name of stronger national security, how can it maintain reasonable channels for cooperation with China in the highly interdependent bioeconomy?  

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Gates Foundation.
