In addition to promoting awareness of global challenges in science and engineering schools, and providing opportunities for students to start addressing them in the field, we need to establish mechanisms that will foster and sustain the ideas that this process brings forward. By creating research grants that do not expire as soon as an outbreak is under control, we would substantially increase our portfolio of solutions to manage the next epidemic better.
开发技术需要时间和努力。除了在理工科推广对全球挑战的认识、为学生提供从现场开始解决问题的机会外，我们还需要建立培养和维持推动这一过程前进的机制。我们需要建立不会因为爆发被控制住就马上被撤销的研究项目，这能够极大地丰富我们更好地管理下一次传染病暴发的办法。
