DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Columbia Regional Learning Center will serve its public health practice partners in an area that is home to one in every fourteen Americans. It is predicated on the notion that today's public health practitioners are under tremendous strain and face considerable budgetary pressures, with escalating demands and little time available for training. There is a pressing need for high-quality, validated instruction that is understandable, well- retained, contributes to an integrated and coordinated public health emergency response system, and relates clearly to the roles that the public health workforce may be expected to play in an emergency or disaster. The Columbia Regional Learning Center will ensure access to such instruction through progressive technologies for distance learning, regional workshops, and Advance Teams. The pedagogical expertise of educational scholars with years of experience designing and validating professional curricula will ensure the quality of the training. Many of the key personnel are internationally-recognized public health practice experts from the teaching faculty at the Mailman School and Columbia University Teachers College. The Center has received letters of support from nearly 30 state and local public health agencies. The collaboration of these Partners, the Center's key personnel and advisory panels consisting of leading scientists and the country's most seasoned and knowledgeable public health practice experts will ensure that the Center's training offerings reflect the best knowledge and best practices concerning core competency based training in the public health profession. In the first year, the Center will adapt and develop up to 20 competency based public health preparedness and response courses across a number of platforms--blended distance/hands-on-learning, webinars, podcasts, and video archives' and competency areas. It will offer face-to-face training opportunities by public health and subject matter experts at venues across the region. In order to address the Partner Requested training component of this solicitation, the Center will field 'Advance Teams'-- small teams consisting of an MPH-level Project Coordinator, a health educator and an instructional designer--that will work extensively with selected public health practice Partners for three to four months to develop targeted training and evaluation programs. In this process, the Project Coordinator will 'embed' herself or himself in the Partner's operations for approximately two days per week. The Center will offer Just-in-Time support within 24-72 hours via webcasts and video streaming subject matter expert modules, customized core competency trainings, and online trainings for emergent events. It will offer a number of preparedness and response tools, including an Interactive Job Action Sheet Database, built on ESF-8 tasks; a 'What You Need to Know' primer series of concise information modules; and a volunteer workforce of graduate public health students for deployment during mobilizations, trainings, or evaluations. In all of its training offerings and activities, the Center will take maximum advantage of emerging technologies to engage the public health workforce and associated responders, disseminate and deliver training material, and link with Partners across the region. The Columbia Regional Learning will derive input regarding core competency based training and our Partners' requirements from the Partners themselves, the Center's Science and Practice Advisory panels, from CDC-led partnership activities, other PERLCs and the PERRCs. The Center's three operational units--Evaluation & Development, Production & Infrastructure, and Marketing, Communications, & Partnership' will coordinate the process of turning the varied sources of input into products.

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议中的哥伦比亚地区学习中心将为每14个美国人中就有一个人的地区的公共卫生实践合作伙伴提供服务。其依据是，当今的公共卫生从业人员承受着巨大的压力，面临着相当大的预算压力，需求不断增加，可用于培训的时间很少。迫切需要高质量、有效的指导，这些指导应易于理解、保存完好，有助于建立一个综合协调的公共卫生应急系统，并与公共卫生工作人员在紧急情况或灾害中可能发挥的作用明确相关。 哥伦比亚区域学习中心将通过先进的远程学习技术、区域讲习班和先遣队确保获得此类指导。具有多年设计和验证专业课程经验的教育学者的教学专门知识将确保培训的质量。许多关键人员都是来自梅尔曼学院和哥伦比亚大学师范学院的国际公认的公共卫生实践专家。该中心已收到近30个州和地方公共卫生机构的支持信。 这些合作伙伴，中心的主要人员和咨询小组组成的领先的科学家和国家的最老练和知识渊博的公共卫生实践专家的合作将确保中心的培训课程反映了最佳知识和最佳做法的核心能力为基础的培训在公共卫生专业。 在第一年，该中心将调整和开发多达20个基于能力的公共卫生准备和反应课程，这些课程涉及多个平台-混合远程/动手学习，网络研讨会，播客以及视频档案和能力领域。它将提供公共卫生和主题专家在该区域各地举办的面对面培训机会。为了解决合作伙伴要求的培训部分，该中心将现场“先遣队”-由MPH级项目协调员，健康教育家和教学设计师组成的小团队-将与选定的公共卫生实践合作伙伴广泛合作三到四个月，以制定有针对性的培训和评估计划。在此过程中，项目协调员将每周约两天“嵌入”合作伙伴的运营中。 该中心将通过网络广播和视频流主题专家模块、定制的核心能力培训和紧急事件在线培训，在24-72小时内提供及时支持。它将提供一些准备和响应工具，包括基于ESF-8任务的交互式工作行动表数据库;“你需要知道的”简明信息模块入门系列;以及公共卫生研究生志愿者队伍，供动员，培训或评估期间部署。在其所有培训课程和活动中，该中心将最大限度地利用新兴技术，让公共卫生工作人员和相关响应者参与进来，传播和提供培训材料，并与该地区的合作伙伴建立联系。 哥伦比亚区域学习将从合作伙伴自身、中心的科学和实践咨询小组、CDC领导的合作伙伴活动、其他PERLC和PERRC获取有关基于核心能力的培训和合作伙伴要求的信息。该中心的三个业务部门-评估与开发、生产与基础设施以及营销、通信和伙伴关系-将协调将各种来源的投入转化为产品的过程。
