RAPID: Population Protection and Monitoring in Response to Radiological Incidents

提案编号：CNS 11- 38733 PI：Lee，伊娃K机构：格鲁吉亚技术研究公司标题： 人口保护和监测响应放射性事件项目建议：这个快速项目，收集罕见的和真实的数据有关的放射性应急响应在日本，建立在以前的工作，收集和处理大量的时间运动研究数据在公共卫生应急响应系统的规划和使用在格鲁吉亚技术。 该团队将与日本合作者合作，对日本最近发生的一系列灾难进行评估，并协助恢复。该小组在使用应急准备实时信息决策支持系统方面经验丰富。在所谓的放射性反应知识数据库中收集和分析稀缺数据，说明了拟议系统的重要性和独特性。日本-美国学术研究小组将参与以下活动：建立一个辐射应对知识数据库：紧急情况数据收集和资源评估。- 过程映射和时间运动研究。采访个人（应急工作人员、受影响的个人等）-将放射学知识数据库纳入实时模拟器和决策支持系统。- 与南赞大学合作分析和评估灾害的影响。最终的系统将有助于评估当前的运营绩效与灾前准备。它将允许研究、培训和加强应急反应，以及对辐射事故的未来规划。这项工作为收集实地应急数据提供了一个独特的机会。研究人员与来自NanZam大学的日本研究人员Suzuki博士和Sasaki博士合作，他们的工作由日本科学促进协会资助。日本团队将安排美国团队访问各种避难所，分配，医疗和/或健康登记地点，在那里他们将进行时间运动研究，访谈，操作/性能观察和评估。补充文件中包括一封支持信和日本合作者的简历。 更广泛的影响：该项目通过参与性研究范式支持日本的经济复苏努力，有望立即造福社会。该数据库对我们的国家医疗准备、应急响应和国土安全至关重要。此外，这项工作对于保护民众免受核电站事故的影响也是紧迫的。对未来灾害的长期利益是显而易见的。显然，开发的仿真和决策支持系统与知识数据库一起沿着将使应急响应和减灾研究成为可能。总的来说，该项目还有助于培训研究生，使他们接触高影响力的应用领域。

Proposal #: CNS 11-38733PI(s): Lee, Eva K Institution: Georgia Tech Research CorporationTitle: Population Protection and Monitoring in Response to Radiological Incidents Project Proposed:This RAPID project, collecting rare and real-life data pertaining to radiological emergency response in Japan, builds on previous work that collects and processes a large amount of time-motion study data in the public health emergency response system planning and usage at Georgia Tech. The team will work with Japanese collaborators in their efforts in performing assessment of the recent series of disasters in Japan, as well as in assisting in the recovery. This team is experienced in using a real-time information-decision support system for emergency preparedness. The collection and the analysis of scarce data in the so-called Knowledge Data Bank for Radiological Responses, speaks to the importance and uniqueness of the proposed system. The Japanese-USA academic research team will be engaged in some of the following activities: - Establish a knowledge data bank for radiological response: emergency data collection and resource assessment. - Process mapping and time motion study.- Interview individuals (emergency workers, affected individuals, etc.)- Incorporate the radiological knowledge data bank into a real-time simulator and decision support system. - Analyze and assess the effects of the disaster in collaboration with NanZan University.The final system will facilitate assessment of current operations performance versus pre-disaster preparedness. It will allow for the study, training, and enhancement of emergency response, as well as future planning for radiological incidents. The work provides a unique opportunity to collect on-the-ground emergency response data. The researchers collaborate with the Japanese investigators from NanZam University, Dr. Suzuki and Dr. Sasaki, whose work is funded by the Japan Society of Promotion of Science. The Japanese team will arrange trips for the US team to visit the various shelters, distribution, medical, and/or health-registering sites where they will conduct the time-motion studies, interviews, and operations/performance observations, and evaluations. A letter of support and biographical sketches of the Japanese collaborators are included in the supplementary document. Broader Impacts: This project promises an immediate benefit to society by supporting economic recovery efforts in Japan through a participatory research paradigm. The data bank is critical to our national medical preparedness, emergency response, and homeland security. Moreover, the work is urgent for population protection from nuclear plant accidents. Long-term benefits for future disasters are in evidence. Obviously, the emergency response and disaster mitigation research will be enabled with the developed simulation and decision support system along with the knowledge data base. In general, the project also contributes to train graduate students exposing them to high-impact application areas.
