NDEWS: A New Paradigm for Drug Early Warning Systems

产品说明：利用马里兰州大学现有的大量资源和专门知识，塞萨尔将与NIDA合作建立国家预警系统协调中心。NEWS将成为第一个有能力识别新兴药物，特别是新合成药物及其代谢物的国家公共卫生监测系统。NEWS将提供急需的有关药物及其公共卫生后果的信息，以便制定快速、知情和有效的公共卫生对策。在这个为期5年的项目中，塞萨尔将与NIDA合作：1）选择和召集咨询委员会; 2）创建一个由科学家、公共卫生专家、执法代表和其他人组成的新闻网络，他们将成为一个虚拟社区的一部分，分享信息并协助当地研究; 3.利用传统和创新来源进行全国毒品扫描，包括社交媒体和网络扫描;（4）建立一个统一的社区指标系统，在全国和12个哨点跟踪毒品趋势和新出现的毒品;（5）建立一个快速反应小组，每年在多达3个热点地区对新出现的毒品进行地方研究; 6）通过虚拟社区和新闻网站等多种机制发布新闻快讯和年度报告。其他重大创新包括与美国毒物控制中心协会建立伙伴关系，将研究人员和从业人员联系起来，以确定新兴药物。此外，大学信息科学家将调整他们分析互联网流量的最先进方法，以跟踪和预测新药的出现。

DESCRIPTION: Drawing upon the considerable resources and expertise available at the University of Maryland, CESAR will work with NIDA to create the Coordinating Center for the National Early Warning System (NEWS). NEWS will be the first national public health surveillance system with the ability to identify emerging drugs, especially new synthetic drugs and their metabolites. NEWS will generate critically needed information about drugs and their public health consequences so that rapid, informed, and effective public health responses can be developed. During the 5-year project, CESAR will work with NIDA to: 1) select and convene the Advisory Board; 2) create a NEWS Network of scientists, public health experts, law enforcement representatives, and others who will become part of a virtual community for sharing information and assisting with local research; 3) conduct a national drug scan utilizing both traditional and innovative sources, including social media and web scans; 4) establish a system of harmonized community indicators for tracking drug trends and emerging drugs nationally and in 12 Sentinel Sites; 5) establish a Rapid Response Team (RRT) to conduct local studies of emerging drugs in up to 3 HotSpots per year; and 6) disseminate NEWS Alerts and annual reports through multiple mechanisms, including the virtual community and a NEWS web site. Other major innovations include initiating a partnership with the American Association of Poison Control Centers to link researchers and practitioners to identify emerging drugs. In addition, university information scientists will adapt their state-of-the-art methodologies for analyzing internet traffic to track and predict the emergence of new drugs.
