Update #2 · Latest ·

The Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) requests that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) establish a rapid and agile process for convening subject matter experts to address adverse health effects of public health emergencies and disasters when they occur. The goal of the process will be to prioritize scientific research needs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster that culminates in a summary report of the strategic science research questions most relevant to promote better response, recovery or enhanced resilience in the affect community. Research results would also inform response to the next disaster event. Subject matter expertise would vary, depending on the nature of the emergency/disaster.

Update #1 ·

Much important scientific research can only be done during the response to and recovery from an emergency or a major disaster, or the window of opportunity is lost. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, there has been an acknowledged and urgent need for public health research. To identify the needs for this research, subject matter experts were rapidly convened at the New York Academy of Medicine on November 16, 2012. At this meeting, a number of topical areas and research questions were identified, including those that, if addressed, would be able to impact on recovery as well as future preparedness. These areas include the broad areas of resiliency, decision making, the health system response, adverse health outcomes (including behavioral health), communications, and the use of social media.
