About the George Consortium
Established in 2012, the George Consortium is a network of academics, scholars, experts, and practitioners in the field of public health law. The Consortium’s over 100 members are affiliated with academic institutions, public health agencies, subject matter centers, and other organizations across the United States. Our goal is to increase visibility and understanding of current public health law issues, identify ways to engage on these issues, and provide relevant legal analysis and commentary. We focus on identifying potential legislative and regulatory changes at the federal, state, and local level that have the potential to impact public health.
Our Approach
Surveillance: Monitor and surveil changes to federal statutes, regulations, and regulatory policies that may have a significant impact upon population health.
Response: Leverage the intellectual capacity of the George Consortium and other collaborators to provide analysis, commentary, testimony, convenings, and similar deliverables as necessary.
Dissemination: Increase visibility of key issues and a build a cache of resources for policymakers and the like.
