DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Water Wisdom: Developing Local-Global Capacities in Managing Water. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) proposes a program to engage postdoctoral investigators in interdisciplinary research to address information and decision making related to U.S. and international water and sanitation (WatSan) programs. This work builds capacity among postdoctoral researchers, creates interdisciplinary partnerships, and establishes a foundation for problem-based research. We propose four connected research activities to address the following problem: The systems in place to create, collect, consolidate, and transmit information to those who contribute to WatSan service provision are inadequate, resulting in failed physical and institutional systems, unmet policy goals, insufficient adoption and application of proven good practices, and a lack of a clear direction forward. These failures mean that millions of people, primarily children, die or suffer from preventable causes each year because of a lack of adequate WatSan services. This research takes the first steps in formulating a comprehensive understanding of how information is used by policy makers and practitioners in WatSan and will suggest opportunities where application of developments in information technology (IT) could lead to more effective and robust systems in both developing and developed nations. This research collaboration will involve units at UNC in the Gillings School of Global Public Health (Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Office of Global Health, Water Institute), the Kenan-Flagler Business School, and the College of Arts and Sciences (Department of Public Policy), as well as the Renaissance Computing Initiative (RENCI) and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. The aims of the proposed program will 1. Create a team of postdoctoral researchers to address decision making, organizational behavior and information technology in water and sanitation. 2. Create research capacity for interdisciplinary postdoctoral researchers at UNC in global public health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE:. The potential impact of Water Wisdom is high; policies and programs that are better informed by timely and objective evidence can result in dramatic improvement in the lives of millions of people currently unserved by adequate water or sanitation systems. Even a small impact on policy making has the potential for substantive global public health gains.

描述（由申请人提供）：水的智慧：发展地方-全球水管理能力。位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学提出了一项计划，让博士后研究人员参与跨学科研究，以解决与美国和国际水和卫生（WatSan）计划有关的信息和决策。这项工作建立博士后研究人员的能力，建立跨学科的伙伴关系，并建立基于问题的研究的基础。我们提出了四个相关的研究活动，以解决以下问题：系统到位，以创建，收集，巩固和传输信息的那些谁有助于提供WatSan服务是不够的，导致失败的物理和机构系统，未实现的政策目标，不充分的通过和应用证明良好的做法，并缺乏一个明确的前进方向。这些失败意味着，由于缺乏适当的供水和卫生服务，每年有数百万人，主要是儿童，死于或遭受可预防的疾病。这项研究采取了第一步，制定一个全面的了解如何信息是由决策者和从业人员在水和卫生，并将建议的机会，在信息技术（IT）的发展应用可能会导致更有效和更强大的系统在发展中国家和发达国家。这项研究合作将涉及Gillings全球公共卫生学院（环境科学与工程，全球卫生办公室，水研究所），Kenan-Flagler商学院和艺术与科学学院（公共政策系），以及Renaissance Computing Initiative（RENCI）和南非开普敦大学土木工程系。该计划的目标是1。创建一个博士后研究人员团队，以解决决策，组织行为和信息技术在水和卫生。2.创建跨学科博士后研究人员在全球公共卫生研究能力。 公共卫生相关性：水智慧的潜在影响很大;及时和客观证据更好地告知的政策和计划可以大大改善目前缺乏足够水或卫生系统的数百万人的生活。即使对政策制定产生很小的影响，也有可能使全球公共卫生取得实质性成果。
