DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposal is to plan and implement an international conference and a follow-up scientific meeting to address the human and environmental impact of man-made disasters, with a focus on vulnerable populations and resultant health disparities. This overarching theme will be approached through the prism of the 2010 BP Oil Spill and the lessons learned from the impact of and the response to this disaster, as well as previous man-made disasters. The specific aims are to bring together regional, national, and international experts and stakeholders to: 1. Address the short- and long-term physical and mental health risks of man-made disasters with special emphasis on the BP Oil Spill ; 2. Address the environmental impact of man-made disasters and discuss the development and enforcement of environmental and safety regulations; 3. Address the community and family impact of the BP Oil Spill in terms of social capital and stability; 4. Address the economic impact of man-made disasters, including the need to provide a rapid-response economic buffer for impacted communities, now and in the future, and a fully funded contingency plan. The conference will be convened by the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center, the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center of Dillard University/Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, and Jackson State University in Mississippi. The events will be organized by a four-person organizing committee from the four convening institutions. An eight- person advisory committee of national and international experts will provide scientific leadership and direction. The conference has been planned for January 23-24, 2011 at Dillard University for 100 attendees. It will include plenary sessions on the impact of man-made disasters on human health and the environmental effects and policy implications of man-made disasters, as well as four breakout sessions: human health risks from oil leaks, socioeconomic impacts of oil leaks, environmental impact of oil leaks, and policy perspectives. The follow-up scientific meeting has been planned for March, 2011 in Gulfport/Biloxi, Mississippi, for 20 attendees. Funding will be provided by the UAB Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center. This meeting will analyze the outcomes of the international conference and will integrate the conclusions from the various themes (health, environment, economics, and public policy) to identify future prospects and challenges. Specifically, it will outline the research agenda, research clusters and facilities, and mechanisms of funding. The ultimate outcome will be a developed strategy to establish a tri-state (AL, MS, LA) infrastructure for research, training, and community engagement to address both the immediate and the long-term impacts of the BP Oil Spill disaster and help prevent or mitigate the effects of future man-made disasters. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Natural and man-made disasters occur with deadly frequency in the tri-state area (AL, LA, MS). The serial devastation of hurricanes Alex, Katrina, Rita, and Gustav, and now the BP Gulf Oil Spill, has exposed a disaster response system that is seriously inadequate. These disasters are the consequence of emerging disparity populations; therefore the focus of the proposed events is on vulnerable populations and resultant health disparities. The proposed events will provide a first opportunity for the three states to develop a comprehensive approach to addressing both the short- and long-term consequences of the BP Oil Spill and other man-made disasters.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的目的是计划和实施国际会议和后续科学会议，以解决人为灾难的人类和环境影响，重点是脆弱的人群和最终的健康差异。这个总体主题将通过2010年BP石油泄漏的棱镜以及从对这场灾难的影响和反应以及以前的人造灾难中学到的教训来实现。 具体的目的是将区域，国家和国际专家和利益相关者汇集到：1。解决人造灾难的短期和长期身心健康风险，并特别强调BP石油漏油事件； 2。解决人造灾难的环境影响，并讨论环境和安全法规的发展和执行； 3。针对BP石油漏油事件的社区和家庭影响，以社会资本和稳定为方面； 4。解决人造灾难的经济影响，包括为受影响的社区提供快速响应经济缓冲，以及将来的经济缓冲，以及一项完全资助的应急计划。 该会议将由阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学（UAB）少数民族健康和健康差异研究中心，迪拉德大学/路易斯安那州州立大学健康科学中心和密西西比州杰克逊州立大学的少数民族健康与健康差异研究中心召集。这些活动将由四个召集机构的四人组织委员会组织。国家和国际专家的八人咨询委员会将提供科学领导力和指导。 该会议计划于2011年1月23日至24日在迪拉德大学举行，为100名与会者举行。它将包括有关人为灾难对人类健康的影响以及人造灾难的环境影响和政策影响的全体会议，以及四个突破性会议：漏油泄漏的人类健康风险，机油泄漏的社会经济影响，环境影响，油泄漏的环境影响以及政策观点。 随访的科学会议计划于2011年3月在密西西比州的Gulfport/Biloxi举行，为20名与会者举行。 UAB少数民族健康与健康差异研究中心将提供资金。这次会议将分析国际会议的结果，并将各种主题（健康，环境，经济学和公共政策）的结论整合到确定未来的前景和挑战。具体而言，它将概述研究议程，研究集群和设施以及资金机制。 最终结果将是建立三州（AL，MS，LA）基础设施以进行研究，培训和社区参与的开发战略，以解决BP石油溢油灾害的直接和长期影响，并有助于预防或减轻未来人为灾难的影响。 公共卫生相关性：三州区域（AL，LA，MS）发生致命频率的自然和人为灾难。飓风亚历克斯，卡特里娜飓风，丽塔和古斯塔夫的连续破坏，现在是BP Gulf石油漏油事件，已经暴露了一种严重不足的灾难反应系统。这些灾难是新兴差异人群的结果。因此，拟议事件的重点是脆弱的人群和由此导致的健康差异。拟议的事件将为这三个州提供第一个机会，以开发一种全面的方法来解决BP石油漏油事件和其他人造灾难的短期和长期后果。
