Goals and Objectives
Goals establish the overarching strategic direction for ASPR's mission to protect the nation's health security. They define priorities that guide decision-making, investments, and partnerships across government, health care systems, and industry. These goals serve as the foundation for preparedness and response, ensuring that ASPR's work addresses evolving threats with foresight, resilience, efficiency, and national unity throughout the span of this strategic plan (federal fiscal years 2026 through 2029).
Objectives clarify and target outcomes within each goal. As part of ASPR's implementation approach, key ASPR centers will be responsible for carrying out assigned actions to support reaching objectives. The ASPR centers are Center for Administration, Center for Preparedness (includes components of the HHS Coordination Operations and Response Element), Center for Response, Center for the Strategic National Stockpile, Center for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, Center for Industrial Base Management and Supply Chain, and the Immediate Office of the ASPR.
