考虑到培养下一代灾害和灾害研究人员以及让他们接触该领域的广度、深度和活力的重要性，令人惊讶的是，明确讨论这个主题的文章很少。在本文中，我考察了研究中心在改变灾害研究领域中的作用，并特别关注研究中心在教育和指导新学者方面的责任，这些新学者反过来将影响该领域的未来方向。我讨论了培训新研究人员的五个方面，我认为这是必不可少的：a)培养对该领域的承诺；B)维护学术和职业诚信；C)检查灾难的根本原因；D)制定和改进研究议程；e)传播研究成果。研究中心的作用在培训过程中是至关重要的，因为可能没有比这更好的地方来培养新的学者，并最终鼓励创新的观点，产生新的知识，推进科学和加强该领域。
Given the importance of nurturing the next generation of hazards and disaster researchers and exposing them to the breadth, depth, and vitality of the field, surprisingly little has been written that explicitly addresses this topic. In this article, I examine the role of research centers in transforming the field of disaster research and specifically focus on the responsibility of research centers in educating and mentoring new scholars, who in turn will influence the future directions of the field. I discuss five aspects of training new researchers that I consider essential: a) fostering commitment to the field; b) maintaining academic and professional integrity; c) examining root causes of disasters; d) developing and improving research agendas; and e) disseminating research findings. The role of research centers is critical in the training process, given that there is probably no better venue for educating new scholars and ultimately encouraging innovative perspectives, generating new knowledge, advancing science, and strengthening the field.
