Abstract: During the BioShield Stakeholders Workshop, HHS Secretary Michael O. Leavitt announced that HHS would develop a stakeholders' portal, which would be a "web-based system through which those in industry and the research and development community can reach the people they need in the federal government, whether they're looking at a basic level of research or focused on end-stage development." Which led to developing Medical Countermeasures.gov to facilitate communication between federal government agencies and public stakeholders to enhance the Nation's public health emergency preparedness.
