RAPID: Population Protection and Monitoring in Response to Radiological Incidents

提案编号：CNS 11-38733PI(s): Lee， Eva K机构：Georgia Tech Research corporation标题：拟议的人口保护和监测应对辐射事件项目：这个RAPID项目，收集有关日本辐射应急反应的罕见和真实数据，该项目建立在之前收集和处理大量乔治亚理工学院公共卫生应急响应系统规划和使用的时间运动研究数据的基础上。该团队将与日本合作者合作，努力对日本最近发生的一系列灾难进行评估，并协助恢复工作。该小组在使用实时信息-决策支持系统进行应急准备方面经验丰富。在所谓的放射反应知识数据库中收集和分析稀缺数据，说明了所提出系统的重要性和独特性。日美学术研究小组将从事以下一些活动：-建立一个辐射反应知识数据库：应急数据收集和资源评估。-过程绘图和时间动态研究。-采访个人（急救人员、受影响的个人等）-将放射知识数据库纳入实时模拟器和决策支持系统。-与南山大学合作，分析和评估灾害影响。最后的系统将有助于评估目前的业务业绩与灾前准备情况。这将有助于研究、培训和加强应急反应，以及未来对放射性事件的规划。这项工作为收集实地应急数据提供了独特的机会。研究人员与来自南藏大学的日本研究人员铃木博士和佐佐木博士合作，他们的工作由日本科学促进会资助。日本团队将为美国团队安排访问各种庇护所、分发、医疗和/或健康登记地点，在那里他们将进行时间运动研究、访谈、操作/表现观察和评估。补充文件中包括一封支持信和日本通敌者的传记。更广泛的影响：该项目承诺通过参与式研究范式支持日本的经济复苏工作，从而为社会带来立竿见影的效益。该数据库对我们的国家医疗准备、应急反应和国土安全至关重要。此外，对核电厂事故的人口保护工作迫在眉睫。对未来灾难的长期好处显而易见。显然，开发的模拟和决策支持系统以及知识数据库将使应急响应和减灾研究成为可能。总的来说，该项目还有助于培养研究生，使他们接触到高影响力的应用领域。

Proposal #: CNS 11-38733PI(s): Lee, Eva K Institution: Georgia Tech Research CorporationTitle: Population Protection and Monitoring in Response to Radiological Incidents Project Proposed:This RAPID project, collecting rare and real-life data pertaining to radiological emergency response in Japan, builds on previous work that collects and processes a large amount of time-motion study data in the public health emergency response system planning and usage at Georgia Tech. The team will work with Japanese collaborators in their efforts in performing assessment of the recent series of disasters in Japan, as well as in assisting in the recovery. This team is experienced in using a real-time information-decision support system for emergency preparedness. The collection and the analysis of scarce data in the so-called Knowledge Data Bank for Radiological Responses, speaks to the importance and uniqueness of the proposed system. The Japanese-USA academic research team will be engaged in some of the following activities: - Establish a knowledge data bank for radiological response: emergency data collection and resource assessment. - Process mapping and time motion study.- Interview individuals (emergency workers, affected individuals, etc.)- Incorporate the radiological knowledge data bank into a real-time simulator and decision support system. - Analyze and assess the effects of the disaster in collaboration with NanZan University.The final system will facilitate assessment of current operations performance versus pre-disaster preparedness. It will allow for the study, training, and enhancement of emergency response, as well as future planning for radiological incidents. The work provides a unique opportunity to collect on-the-ground emergency response data. The researchers collaborate with the Japanese investigators from NanZam University, Dr. Suzuki and Dr. Sasaki, whose work is funded by the Japan Society of Promotion of Science. The Japanese team will arrange trips for the US team to visit the various shelters, distribution, medical, and/or health-registering sites where they will conduct the time-motion studies, interviews, and operations/performance observations, and evaluations. A letter of support and biographical sketches of the Japanese collaborators are included in the supplementary document. Broader Impacts: This project promises an immediate benefit to society by supporting economic recovery efforts in Japan through a participatory research paradigm. The data bank is critical to our national medical preparedness, emergency response, and homeland security. Moreover, the work is urgent for population protection from nuclear plant accidents. Long-term benefits for future disasters are in evidence. Obviously, the emergency response and disaster mitigation research will be enabled with the developed simulation and decision support system along with the knowledge data base. In general, the project also contributes to train graduate students exposing them to high-impact application areas.
