Student Roundtable with Dr. Carrie Wolinetz

A handful of SPG officers had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Carrie D. Wolinetz, the Deputy Director for Health & Life Sciences for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Thank you to UCLA Government Relations for organizing this amazing opportunity to interact with and learn from a career professional who understands the importance of bridging the gaps between science and policy!

At the White House OSTP, Dr. Wolinetz works to advance priority presidential efforts including pandemic preparedness, health systems & health equity, and accelerating innovation to patients. Prior to joining OSTP, she served as Acting Chief of Staff to the Director of the National Institutes of Health, as well as the NIH Associate Director for Science Policy, and Director of NIH’s Office of Science Policy.
