项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) is a growing multidisciplinary field consisting of a formal process for .QMRA addressing exposures to microbial pathogens and infectious disease processes. QMRA provides greater sensitivity in human health risk measurement than conventional epidemiological approaches, and has become a widely accepted framework for the study of water quality and food. Lying at the confluence of mathematics, biology, engineering, and policy, risk assessment is a complex but highly useful approach applicable to a wide variety of disease scenarios. Risk assessment advances decision science in public health, emergency response, environmental control measures, decontamination, industrial hygiene, and medical countermeasures. Risk analyses must also include risk communication and risk perception in order to know which risk mitigation decisions to take. Despite the utility of the QMRA approach, few biological or social scientists are trained in this process or have sufficient statistical and quantitative skills for such analyse, and few QMRA tools or models are available to people lacking modeling skills. Similarly, few statisticians or modelers possess the necessary social science skills to adequately address issues of human behavior that affect exposure to pathogenic agents, or responses to real or perceived health risks. We will provide QMRA training to enhance multidisciplinary research associated with these key proficiency and knowledge gaps through a two week, intensive short course that will: (1) provide training in identifying and quantifying risk; (2) provide training inrisk perception and communication; (3) develop tools and lessons for learning QMRA and make them freely available; and (4) develop and publish novel risk analyses of emerging pathogens of global and clinical significance. QMRA III builds upon a successful week-long intensive course that was conducted annually by the Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment (CAMRA) from 2006 to 2011. Its application of practical, hands-on training to students from diverse backgrounds enhanced participants' ability to use QMRA in their work. QMRA III will equip biomedical and behavioral scientists with training and tools necessary for highly credible quantitative microbial risk assessments, supporting evidence-based public health policies regarding emerging pathogens and disease prevention.

描述（由申请人提供）：定量微生物风险评估（QMRA）是一个越来越多的多学科领域，该领域由.QMRA的正式过程组成。与传统流行病学方法相比，QMRA对人类健康风险衡量的敏感性更高，并已成为研究水质和食物的广泛接受框架。在数学，生物学，工程和政策的汇合处，风险评估是一种复杂但非常有用的方法，适用于各种疾病情景。风险评估在公共卫生，应急响应，环境控制措施，去污，工业卫生和医疗对策方面推进了决策科学。风险分析还必须包括风险交流和风险感知，以了解要采取哪些风险的决定。尽管QMRA方法有用，但在此过程中很少有生物学或社会科学家接受过培训，或者具有足够的统计和定量技能来进行分析，而缺乏建模技能的人几乎没有QMRA工具或模型。同样，很少有统计学家或建模者拥有必要的社会科学技能，以充分解决影响暴露于致病因素的人类行为问题，或者对真实或感知到的健康风险的反应。我们将提供QMRA培训，以增强与这些关键水平和知识差距相关的多学科研究，这将在两个星期的密集短课程中：（1）提供识别和量化风险的培训；（2）提供培训inrisk感知和沟通；（3）开发学习QMRA的工具和课程，并使其自由使用；（4）开发和发布有关全球和临床意义的新兴病原体的新型风险分析。 QMRA III建立在一项成功的一周密集课程的基础上，该课程每年由2006年至2011年的微生物风险评估中心（CAMRA）进行。其对来自不同背景的学生的实用，动手培训的应用增强了参与者在工作中使用QMRA的能力。 QMRA III将为生物医学和行为科学家配备高度可靠的定量微生物风险评估所需的培训和工具，支持有关新兴病原体和预防疾病的基于证据的公共卫生政策。
