Description:“… just a few weeks after Hurricane Sandy, the New York Academy of Medicine hosted a meeting to identify public health research priorities that had arisen in response to the hurricane. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) built on the priorities developed at that meeting to fund, collectively, 31 grants for Hurricane Sandy recovery research. These research efforts, funded under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (DRAA) of 2013, demonstrate the role the scientific community can play in emergency preparedness, response, recovery and the importance of being ready to do so when disasters strike.”
” In January 2013 ASPR, CDC and NIEHS grantees and awardees gathered together for a meeting to kick-off their research efforts and to foster collaboration and data-sharing. As an outgrowth of that meeting, additional funds were made available under the DRAA for ASPR to support collaborative projects between existing ASPR, CDC, and NIEHS awardees. The 13 new and collaborative projects build upon, augment, or enhance the 31 original ASPR, CDC, and NIEHS Sandy recovery science awards.”
”As the original 31 awards near completion, this conference brings together the researchers, members of impacted communities, and public health and emergency preparedness practitioners. Our main goals are to share the research results and products among these groups, and to find ways to translate the research efforts into practice. We want to use this conference to build connections between people and organizations who can work collaboratively to realize meaningful benefits for Sandy impacted communities as they continue to recover and to prepare for future storms.”
