DESCRIPTION (PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): The events of September 11, 2001, the subsequent anthrax attacks that followed, and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that there were clear weaknesses in public health's ability to respond in an emergency. The Center for Infectious Diseases & Emergency Readiness, a CDC-funded Center for Public Health Preparedness, is applying to become a CDC Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Center (PERRC). The mission of the Center is to conduct public health research that improves the capability of public health departments and communities to prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to public health threats from all hazards. In achieving our mission, we will serve effectively our most vulnerable populations. With the theme to Create and Maintain Sustainable Preparedness and Response Systems, we will focus on the following public health systems research areas: (1) all-hazards communication to improve the resilience of vulnerable populations; (2) early warning, investigation, and surveillance: epidemiology networks in action; (3) closing the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear gaps in public health all-hazards preparedness; (4) optimizing public health emergency management systems; and (5) California Exercise Laboratory: systems research using statewide operations-based exercises. We have assembled a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary all-hazards research team involving: the University of California at Berkeley, School of Public Health; Louisiana State University, School of Business & the Stephenson Disaster Management Institute; Monterey Institute of International Studies, James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (specializing in terrorist threats from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons); State of California (California Department of Health, Governor's Office of Homeland Security, and Emergency Medical Services Authority); State of Hawai'i Department of Health, Division of Disease Control; and the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health PERRC. As a center in an academic institution, our tradition of partnering with local and state health departments will enable us to tackle the challenges of studying public health systems in order to strengthen all-hazards public health emergency response nationally.

描述（由申请人提供）：2001年9月11日的事件，随后的炭疽袭击，以及卡特里娜飓风的后果表明，公共卫生在紧急情况下的反应能力明显薄弱。传染病与应急准备中心是CDC资助的公共卫生准备中心，正在申请成为CDC准备和应急反应研究中心（PERRC）。该中心的使命是开展公共卫生研究，提高公共卫生部门和社区预防、检测、调查和应对所有危害的公共卫生威胁的能力。在完成我们的使命时，我们将有效地为我们最脆弱的人口服务。以创建和维护可持续的准备和响应系统为主题，我们将重点关注以下公共卫生系统研究领域：（1）所有危害的沟通，以提高弱势群体的复原力;（2）早期预警，调查和监测：流行病学网络的行动;（3）缩小化学，生物，放射性和核在公共卫生所有危害准备方面的差距;（4）加强公共卫生系统的研究。（4）优化公共卫生应急管理系统;（5）加州演习实验室：使用全州范围内基于操作的演习进行系统研究。我们组建了一个多机构、跨学科的所有危害研究小组，参与者包括：加州大学伯克利分校公共卫生学院;路易斯安那州立大学商学院和斯蒂芬森灾害管理研究所;蒙特雷国际研究学院;詹姆斯·马丁不扩散研究中心（专门研究化学、生物、放射性和核武器造成的恐怖主义威胁）;加州州（加州卫生部、州长国土安全办公室和紧急医疗服务管理局）;夏威夷州卫生部疾病控制司和匹兹堡大学公共卫生研究生院。作为学术机构的中心，我们与地方和州卫生部门合作的传统将使我们能够应对研究公共卫生系统的挑战，以加强全国范围内的所有危害公共卫生应急反应。
