ABSTRACT
The multi-disciplinary nature of health security intelligence means there are a range of participants from the STEM, biological and social sciences, across different sectors, that could contribute to the growth of health security intelligence knowledge and capabilities with intelligence communities. Based on insights gathered earlier in the book, the chapter examines how, for example, intelligence analysts working in national security agencies can best develop skills, knowledge, and competencies from public health, the private sector, and academia about health security threats and risks. And likewise, the chapter explores how relevant experts working outside of intelligence can learn more about the national security dimensions and consequences of their knowledge and practice. The chapter then pivots away from workforce/capability issues to address how new knowledge can be generated from future health security intelligence research involving intelligence community funding. The chapter concludes by introducing the key components of a health security research agenda which identifies and prioritizes areas where new health security knowledge and practice can improve the U.S. intelligence workforce, as well for ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence communities and stakeholders.
