The Program Management Office for the National Health Security Preparedness Index is now soliciting recommendations for new measures to be incorporated into future versions of the Index. We invite recommendations from all stakeholders having scientific and/or operational knowledge about strategies for reducing the impact of large-scale hazards, disasters, and emergencies on human health and wellbeing. We also invite recommendations about existing Index measures to be modified or eliminated. Recommendations must be received by March 9, 2015 to be considered for the next iteration of the Index.
The Program Management Office will review and consider all recommendations submitted by March 9, 2015 for use in updating and refining subsequent releases of Index measures. In some cases, Office staff may contact submitters to obtain more information about a recommendation. Factors to be considered in evaluating recommendations include: the strength of empirical evidence linking the measured construct to core preparedness and resiliency dimensions; the ability of the measure to inform preparedness decision-making and action by one or more relevant stakeholder groups; documentation on the validity and reliability of the measure; availability of timely and longitudinal data on the measure at both national and state levels; and the resources required to incorporate the measure into the Index.
