PHEER MEMBERSHIP FORM & PRACTICE SURVEY
Background: The Public Health Extreme Events Research (PHEER) network was initiated in August 2022 with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Center for Preparedness and Response through an interagency agreement with the National Science Foundation. The goal of PHEER is to serve as the coordinating platform for the public health disaster research community of practice. PHEER joins other previously-established disciplinary-specific research and reconnaissance networks within the CONVERGE network. Together these networks deploy a cadre of scientists capable of mobilizing quickly after a catastrophic event to collect perishable data on behalf of the science and practice fields, to support their colleagues in the affected region to stand up research teams, and to help inform the science agenda of their respective disciplines and funding priorities of federal agencies and philanthropies.

Consent: This questionnaire has two objectives: to build a network of public health disaster researchers and to be able to characterize this community of practice in terms of its disciplinary interests, methodological expertise, and disaster experience. As such, we will use the information from this survey to communicate with the network, and to identify, map and describe the public health disaster research workforce. We recognize that our colleagues in disaster research are quite diverse, and are drawn from many different scientific disciplines and practice backgrounds. We believe that reflects our strength. Please take the time, approximately 10 minutes or less, to respond to this survey.

This form is designed to be completed by individual researchers, not by an institution or organization. If there are multiple public health disaster researchers associated with your center, program, department or agency please share this form with them so that they may each fill it out independently as well.

Any questions about PHEER may be directed to pheernetwork@gmail.com. This form and survey have been reviewed and approved by the New York University Institutional Review Board, which may be reached at ask.humansubjects@nyu.edu or at 212.998.4808.

PHEER Leadership Team:
David Abramson, PhD MPH, NYU
David Eisenman, MD MSHS, UCLA
Nicole Errett, PhD MSPH, University of Washington
Jennifer Horney, PhD MPH, University of Delaware


By completing the survey you understand that PHEER may conduct analyses of the data and publish findings in the aggregate, without identifiers. There is minimal risk of harm to participants in such aggregated analyses. Any identifying information collected from disaster researchers will be maintained on password-protected secure servers, and not shared unless explicitly agreed to as follows:

Degrees and/or Certifications
