描述（申请人提供）：奥尔巴尼大学公共卫生学院（UAlbany-SPH）和新泽西医学和牙科大学（UMDNJ-SPH），建议建立纽约/新泽西准备和应急响应学习中心（NY/NJ PERLC）NY/NJ PERLC将合作开发和提供核心竞争力-基于培训，以应对公共卫生准备和纽约和新泽西内的州、地方和部落公共卫生当局的反应需求，并强调基本的公共卫生安全能力。 NY/NJ PERLC的主要研究者和行政核心将设在UAlbany-SPH，并与UMDNJ-SPH的共同主要研究者合作。通过与三个公共卫生部门--纽约州、新泽西州和纽约市--密切合作，纽约/新泽西州公共卫生应急中心有可能接触到在一个地理区域应对公共卫生紧急情况的工作人员，该地理区域包括2900多万人，从北部的加拿大边境到南部的特拉华州河的出口，再到西部的伊利湖。培训将由咨询委员会和董事会推荐和审查，重点是联邦政府认可的公共卫生准备核心能力（PCC）。将PPC纳入现有和新培训的基础设施将使用三个概念模型进行培训，以确保对中层公共卫生工作者有用。使用多种模式-在线课程，卫星广播，视频会议，网络研讨会和面对面培训-纽约/新泽西州PERLC将提供基于需求和合作伙伴要求的培训，基于优先级模型和来自非常高级的咨询委员会以及两个州的相关合作伙伴的建议。方案评价将形成培训并提供反馈，以加强公共卫生工作人员预防和应对自然和人为灾害的能力。 相关性： 通过向应对突发公共卫生事件的纽约和新泽西工作人员提供有效和及时的教育和能力培训，NY/NJ PERLC将改善突发公共卫生事件的准备、预防、应对和恢复。该中心的教育和培训材料将分发给美国各地的有关各方，以促进提高全国的备灾和应对水平。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Schools of Public Health at the University at Albany (UAlbany-SPH) and The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ-SPH), propose to establish the New York / New Jersey Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center (NY/NJ PERLC) The NY/NJ PERLC will collaborate to develop and deliver core competency-based training that responds to the public health preparedness and response needs of state, local and tribal public health authorities within New York and New Jersey, and emphasizes essential public health security capabilities. The Principal Investigator and administrative core of the NY/NJ PERLC will be based at UAlbany-SPH, and subcontract with co-principal investigators at UMDNJ-SPH. By collaborating closely with three public health departments - New York State, New Jersey, and New York City, NY/NJ PERLC has the potential to reach workers who respond to public health emergencies in a geographic area that includes over 29 million people, from the Canadian border in the north, to the outlet of the Delaware River south, and west to Lake Erie. Trainings will be recommended and reviewed by Advisory Councils and Boards and focus on the federally recognized Public Health Preparedness Core Competencies (PCCs). An infrastructure for incorporating the PPCs into existing and new training will use three conceptual models for training to ensure usefulness to mid-tier public health workers. Using multiple modalities - online courses, satellite broadcasts, video conferencing, webinars, and in-person training - the NY/NJ PERLC will provide both needs-based and partner-requested training, based on a prioritization model and advice from a very senior advisory board as well as relevant partners throughout both states. Program evaluation will both shape and provide feedback on training to strengthen public health workforce capabilities in the prevention and response to natural and man-made disasters. Relevance: By providing effective and timely education and competency-based training to the New York and New Jersey workforce who responds to public health emergencies, the NY/NJ PERLC will improve the readiness, prevention of, response to, and recovery from public health emergencies. The Center's education and training materials will be disseminated to relevant parties throughout the US, to contribute to the improvement of preparedness and response levels nationwide.
