IGF::OT::IGF: STRENGTHENING THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS OF ACADEMIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH COMMUNITIES

美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院的医学研究所(IOM)将与地球和生命科学部合作，建立一个特设委员会，进行一项研究，并发布一份报告，探讨灾难对生物医学学术研究界的影响。国际移民组织将提供一份报告，其中1)描述以往灾害对生物医学学术研究界的影响程度，2)为个别研究人员、研究机构和赞助商提供关于可能采取的行动的指导、工具和其他资源，以减轻未来灾害对研究设施、设备、试剂和动物的影响。该报告将采取全方位的方法，包括但不限于冰雪事件(例如，雪崩、泄漏、雪重导致的基础设施崩溃)、火灾、流行病(例如，可能影响一个地区并限制运输，如动物的食物)、信息技术入侵，如网络攻击(包括讨论如何保护数据并在丢失后找回数据)和停电。

"The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Institute of Medicine (IOM), in collaboration with the Division on Earth and Life Sciences, will establish an ad hoc committee that will conduct a study and issue a report that will explore the effects of disasters on the biomedical academic research community. The IOM will provide a report that 1) describes the extent of the impact of prior disasters on the biomedical academic research community and 2) provides guidance, tools, and other resources for individual researchers, research institutions, and sponsors regarding potential actions to be taken that may mitigate the impact of future disasters on research facilities, equipment, reagents, and animals. The report will take an all-hazards approach, including but not limited to snow and ice events (e.g., avalanches, leaks, infrastructure collapse due to weight of snow); fires; pandemics (e.g., which could impact a region and limit deliveries, like food for animals); information technology breaches such as cyber-attacks (including discussion of how one would protect data and retrieve it after loss); and electricity blackouts."
