Strengthening America’s and allies’ surge response for injectable medicines and vaccines.

About Us

Improving bio-emergency response for the U.S.
and its allies.

The Consortium for the Rapid Aseptic Filling of Injectable Drugs (RAPID) is a public-private partnership dedicated to helping the United States and its allies more quickly and effectively manufacture, package, and transport injectable medicines and vaccines in a national health emergency.

Born from a partnership between private industry and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the RAPID Consortium looks to explore how modern drug packaging and delivery technologies, such as Blow-Fill-Seal, can strengthen notional security and emergency response.

R&D

Working together to advance manufacturing
and science

The RAPID Consortium embraces both established and new technologies in pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging, and delivery – pushing their continued development so America and its allies can better respond to national emergencies.

For example, today with Government support, ApiJect (a founding member of RAPID) is advancing the use of Blow-Fill-Seal, a 60+ year old plastics packaging technology, for injectable pharmaceuticals. The goal is to see how this established technology can be used in a new space – improving the speed and scale of packaging of injectable drugs for emergency response.
