DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MetaMedia will use the internet to deliver high quality, job-related pertinent hazardous materials and safety training to a large national responder audience at a low cost. Online training alleviates many problems faced by public safety professionals' training, allowing students to train on their schedule while on duty or at home, and with the ability to start and stop in the event of an emergency incident. MetaMedia and HazMatIQ have partnered to develop a library of HazMat courseware and related resources which will be available to responders 24x7 in a variety of modes. The first eLearning product developed with NIEHS SBIR funding is HazMatIQ's patented Above the Line/Four Step System. HazMatIQ has trained over 15,000 responders in classroom settings throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and South America. The four-hour eLearning curriculum is in final stages of testing and integration into a Learning Management System (LMS) before release to the emergency response community. Also funded by NIEHS and presently in development is HazMatIQ GURU, an innovative m-Learning (mobile) approach to providing critical hazard response information on-scene on a handheld device. Continuing our mission to protect workers and the public from exposure, injury and death as a result of a chemical hazard or WMD, MetaMedia and HazMatIQ propose to develop a series of interactive training webinars, each one to two hours in length, which will complement the 'Above the Line' training. The webinar series-HazMatIQ LIVE!-will cover the most critical information and knowledge required for responders to perform the time-dependent, incident risk-response decision process, including chemical and physical properties that influence the decision process, most important monitoring equipment, and most important properties of WMDs (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive) that influence the selection of monitoring equipment for the response. An interactive design that simulates a real-world emergency response will enable participants to engage with each other in a "live" field drill. The strategic aims of this project are to fill gaps in critical HazMat response training that lead to more effective response to HazMat incidents, gain field experience through realistic virtual exercises, enable responders to have access to critical training 24x7, and provide an alternative that reduces the cost of training for Fire Departments. Our long range goal is to reduce injuries, death, and the cost of HazMat response incidents through timely and successful risk mitigation at a time when training budgets are being slashed and vacant positions due to attrition are being unfilled in communities across the U.S. The application is rated at a priority score level of 48.

描述（由申请人提供）：MetaMedia将利用互联网以低成本向全国广大的响应者提供高质量的、与工作相关的危险材料和安全培训。在线培训解决了公共安全专业人员培训所面临的许多问题，使学生能够在值班或在家时按计划进行培训，并能够在发生紧急事件时启动和停止。MetaMedia和HazMatIQ合作开发了一个HazMat课件库和相关资源，这些资源将以各种模式提供给响应者。第一个由NIEHS SBIR资助开发的电子学习产品是HazMatIQ获得专利的Above the Line/Four Step System。HazMatIQ已经在美国各地的课堂环境中培训了15,000多名应急人员，波多黎各、加拿大和南美洲。四小时的电子学习课程在发布给应急响应社区之前，处于测试和集成到学习管理系统（LMS）的最后阶段。HazMatIQ GURU也得到了NIEHS的资助，目前正在开发中，这是一种创新的移动学习（移动的）方法，可以在手持设备上提供现场关键的危害响应信息。 MetaMedia和HazMatIQ继续履行我们的使命，保护工人和公众免受化学危险或大规模毁灭性武器的影响，并避免其受伤和死亡，建议开发一系列互动式培训网络研讨会，每次时长一到两个小时，作为"线上"培训的补充。网络研讨会系列-HazMatIQ LIVE! -将涵盖应急人员进行与时间有关的事件风险应对决策过程所需的最关键信息和知识，包括影响决策过程的化学和物理特性、最重要的监测设备以及影响选择应对监测设备的大规模毁灭性武器（化学、生物、放射性、核和爆炸物）的最重要特性。一个模拟真实世界紧急反应的互动设计将使参与者能够在"现场"演习中相互参与。 该项目的战略目标是填补关键危险物质响应培训的空白，从而更有效地应对危险物质事件，通过逼真的虚拟演习获得现场经验，使响应者能够获得24x7的关键培训，并提供一种替代方案，降低消防部门的培训成本。我们的长期目标是减少伤害、死亡和HazMat的成本 在美国各地的社区，培训预算被削减，由于自然减员而出现的空缺职位无人填补的情况下，通过及时和成功的风险缓解来应对事件。 该申请的优先级评分为48分。
