National Center of Excellence for the Study of Preparedness and Catastrophic Event Response (PACER), Johns Hopkins University |
| Description |
The role of universities and research organizations as part of this country’s strategic approach to homeland security is to harness the nation’s scientific knowledge and technological expertise to help protect America and our way of life from terrorism. This same knowledge and expertise can be applied to helping this country prepare for and respond to other high consequence events, whether natural or manmade, by promoting novel thinking, generating innovation, and teaching and training the next generation of leaders in science, government, and education. Recognizing this particularly important role in our nation’s defense, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded Johns Hopkins University’s Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response a multiple year grant to establish the National Center of Excellence for the Study of Preparedness and Catastrophic Event Response (PACER) to lead a consortium studying how the nation can best prepare for and respond to potential large-scale incidents and disasters. The mission of PACER is improve the nation’s preparedness and the ability to respond in the event of a high consequence natural or manmade disaster to alleviate the event’s effects by developing and disseminating best scientific practices. PACER conducts its projects focused on five key areas of research: 1) preparedness theory and practice; 2) response networks; 3) analysis, modeling, and simulation; 4) science, technology, and engineering; and 5) education. The education research area, in particular, has been tasked with developing an infrastructure to train disaster experts, from today’s scientists to tomorrow’s leaders in academia, health care, and public service. |

Belfer Center Environment and Natural Resources Program (ENRP) |
| Description |
Over the past 30 years environmental policy has changed dramatically. Today it is an integral part of energy policy, economic development, and transportation programs. Security means not only protection from military aggression, but also maintenance of adequate supplies of food and water, and the protection of public health. These problems cannot be addressed from one discipline or from the perspective of one issue or one country. The world of the future will demand the integration of multiple needs and values across both disciplinary and geographic boundaries. The Environment and Natural Resources Program (ENRP) is the center of the Kennedy School of Government's research and outreach on public policy that affects global environmental quality and natural resource management. ENRP’s mandate is to conduct policy-relevant research at the regional, national, international, and global level, and through its outreach initiatives to make its products available to decision-makers, scholars, and interested citizens. |
