  I think this is cool! It shows gaps in capabilities so that people can see what needs to be worked on.

  Thanks for writing this up! Have you considered condensing this into a two-page policy brief? I am sure this could also be useful as a template for other countries. Feel free to dm me.

  FYI rolling applications are back on for the Biosecurity Forecasting Group! We have started the pilot and are very excited about our first cohort! Don’t want to apply but have ideas for questions? Submit them here (anyone can submit!).

  Thanks for putting this together. I found it interesting and useful for my calibration. Will there be a follow-up of a similar design in any other countries? Or another study like this in the US but in a year etc?

  Hi!
  
  We will update our website soon. We have two small scale projects that we are running in collaboration with the Oxford Biosecurity Group. You can check out projects #2 and #3 here.
  
  Let me know if this helps.
