DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) inXsol LLC will undertake research to establish the technical/scientific merit and feasibility for the design and use of an affordable, stand alone simulation-based training tool to supplement instructor guided training for hazardous materials health and safety that can be tailored to meet the local needs of cities and states. The research will examine the use of scenario-based simulation training enabling learners to develop and practice identification, response, coordination and communication skills, in either individual, team, or facilitated sessions. The research will also study the use of collaborative tools as a conduit for design and delivery of new scenarios that can readily be scripted to meet emerging needs. Such tools have the potential to enable a community of authors to grow a library of training experiences that can be shared or adapted to localized needs. The research will extend beyond the design of simulations to examine how best to structure such low cost environments so that they support effective learning and supplement classroom and live exercise events. The research activities include: developing at least one hazmat scenario as a proof of concept and identifying the associated expert decision cues required for the incidents represented and the knowledge-based components required and the incident command structure appropriate for each incident. A practice exercise will be implemented for the scenario using an existing low cost computer-based simulation tool developed by InXsol and the Federation of American Scientists, that includes supporting instructor and student collaboration tools. Using these resources, the project will then study the research questions. Phoenix Fire Department, Phoenix Arizona, will supply the subject matter, technical and instructor expertise for the project. Targeted audiences will be selected among skilled support personnel (SSP) awareness, first responder operations, hazardous materials technician and the incident commander.

描述（由申请人提供） inXsol LLC将开展研究，以确定设计和使用一种负担得起的、独立的、基于模拟的培训工具的技术/科学价值和可行性，以补充教员指导的危险材料健康和安全培训，这种培训可以根据城市和州的当地需求进行调整。 该研究将探讨使用基于ECOMO的模拟培训，使学习者能够开发和实践识别，响应，协调和沟通技能，无论是个人，团队，或促进会议。该研究还将研究使用协作工具作为设计和交付新场景的渠道，这些场景可以随时编写脚本以满足新出现的需求。这些工具有可能使作者群体能够建立一个培训经验库，供分享或根据当地需要加以调整。该研究将扩展到模拟设计之外，以研究如何最好地构建这种低成本环境，以便它们支持有效的学习，并补充课堂和现场练习活动。 研究活动包括：开发至少一个危险品情景作为概念验证，并识别所表示的事件所需的相关专家决策线索、所需的基于知识的组件以及适合于每个事件的事件指挥结构。将使用InXsol和美国科学家联合会开发的现有低成本计算机模拟工具，包括支持教师和学生协作工具，对该情景进行实践练习。利用这些资源，该项目将研究研究问题。亚利桑那州凤凰城消防局将为该项目提供主题、技术和教练专业知识。目标受众将在熟练的支持人员（SSP）意识，第一响应者操作，危险材料技术员和事故指挥官中选择。
