DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) inXsol LLC will undertake research to establish the technical/scientific merit and feasibility for the design and use of an affordable, stand alone simulation-based training tool to supplement instructor guided training for hazardous materials health and safety that can be tailored to meet the local needs of cities and states. The research will examine the use of scenario-based simulation training enabling learners to develop and practice identification, response, coordination and communication skills, in either individual, team, or facilitated sessions. The research will also study the use of collaborative tools as a conduit for design and delivery of new scenarios that can readily be scripted to meet emerging needs. Such tools have the potential to enable a community of authors to grow a library of training experiences that can be shared or adapted to localized needs. The research will extend beyond the design of simulations to examine how best to structure such low cost environments so that they support effective learning and supplement classroom and live exercise events. The research activities include: developing at least one hazmat scenario as a proof of concept and identifying the associated expert decision cues required for the incidents represented and the knowledge-based components required and the incident command structure appropriate for each incident. A practice exercise will be implemented for the scenario using an existing low cost computer-based simulation tool developed by InXsol and the Federation of American Scientists, that includes supporting instructor and student collaboration tools. Using these resources, the project will then study the research questions. Phoenix Fire Department, Phoenix Arizona, will supply the subject matter, technical and instructor expertise for the project. Targeted audiences will be selected among skilled support personnel (SSP) awareness, first responder operations, hazardous materials technician and the incident commander.

描述（由申请人提供） inXsol LLC 将开展研究，以确定设计和使用经济实惠、独立的基于模拟的培训工具的技术/科学优点和可行性，以补充针对危险材料健康和安全的讲师指导培训，并可根据当地需求进行定制城市和州。 该研究将探讨基于场景的模拟训练的使用，使学习者能够在个人、团队或协助课程中培养和练习识别、反应、协调和沟通技能。该研究还将研究如何使用协作工具作为设计和交付新场景的渠道，这些新场景可以轻松编写脚本以满足新兴需求。此类工具有可能使作者社区能够建立一个可以共享或适应本地需求的培训经验库。该研究将超越模拟设计，研究如何最好地构建这种低成本环境，以便它们支持有效的学习并补充课堂和现场锻炼活动。 研究活动包括：开发至少一种危险品场景作为概念验证，并确定所代表事件所需的相关专家决策线索、所需的基于知识的组件以及适合每个事件的事件指挥结构。将使用 InXsol 和美国科学家联合会开发的现有低成本计算机模拟工具（包括支持教师和学生协作工具）针对该场景进行练习。然后，该项目将利用这些资源来研究研究问题。亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市消防局将为该项目提供主题、技术和指导员专业知识。目标受众将从熟练支持人员 (SSP) 意识、急救人员操作、危险材料技术人员和事件指挥官中选出。
