Fostering the Culture of Convergence in Research: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. Convergence-based research approaches are critical in solving many scientific challenges which frequently draw on large teams of collaborators from multiple disciplines. The 2014 report Convergence: Facilitating Transdisciplinary Integration of Life Sciences Physical Sciences Engineering and Beyond describes the term aEUROoeconvergenceaEURO as a multidisciplinary approach that melds divergent areas of expertise to form conclusions that are inaccessible otherwise. However a convergence-based approach involves hybrid systems of people buildings and instruments which pose complex structural and managerial challenges. In October 23aEURO"24 2018 the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine convened a workshop to explore efforts to promote cultures that support convergence-based approaches to research. The 2014 report served as a foundation for this workshop allowing participants to further explore convergence as a valuable and adaptable approach to organizing research. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback

Committee on Building Bridges in the Brain, Behavioral, and Clinical Sciences
Bridging Disciplines in the Brain Behavioral and Clinical Sciences
Paperback / softback. New. Interdisciplinary research is a cooperative effort by a team of investigators each an expert in the use of different methods and concepts who have joined in an organized program to attack a challenging problem. Each investigator is responsible for the research in their area of discipline that applies to the problem but together the investigators are responsible for the final product. The need for interdisciplinary training activities has been detailed over the last 25 years in both public and private reports. The history of science and technology has even shown the important advances that arose from interdisciplinary research including plate tectonics which brought together geologists oceanographers paleomagnetists seismologists and geophysicists to advance the ability to forecast earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In recognition of this the need to train scientists who can address the highly complex problems that challenge us today and fully use new knowledge and technology and the fact that cooperative efforts have proved difficult the National Institute of Mental Health NIMH the National Institutes of Health NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research OBSSR the National Institute on Nursing Research NINR and the National Institute on Aging NIA requested that an Institute of Medicine IOM Committee be created to complete several tasks including: examining the needs and strategies for interdisciplinary training in the brain behavioral social and clinical sciences defining necessary components of true interdisciplinary training in these areas and reviewing current educational and training programs to identify elements of model programs that best facilitate interdisciplinary training. Bridging Disciplines in the Brain Behavioral and Clinical Sciences provides the conclusions and recommendations of this committee. Due to evaluations of the success of interdisciplinary training programs are scarce the committee could not specify the "necessary components" or identify the elements that "best facilitate" interdisciplinary training. However after reviewing existing programs and consulting with experts the committee identified approaches likely to be successful in providing direction for interdisciplinary endeavors at various career stages. This report also includes interviews training programs and workshop agendas used. paperback

Aging and Disability: Beyond Stereotypes to Inclusion: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. Many different groups of people are subject to stereotypes. Positive stereotypes e.g. aEUROoeolder and wiseraEURO may provide a benefit to the relevant groups. However negative stereotypes of aging and of disability continue to persist and in some cases remain socially acceptable. Research has shown that when exposed to negative images of aging older persons demonstrate poor physical and cognitive performance and function while those who are exposed to positive images of aging or who have positive self-perceptions of aging demonstrate better performance and function. Furthermore an individualaEURO TMs expectations about and perceptions of aging can predict future health outcomes. To better understand how stereotypes affect older adults and individuals with disabilities the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine with support from AARP convened a public workshop on October 10 2017. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback

Improving Health Research on Small Populations: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. The increasing diversity of population of the United States presents many challenges to conducting health research that is representative and informative. Dispersion and accessibility issues can increase logistical costs; populations for which it is difficult to obtain adequate sample size are also likely to be expensive to study. Hence even if it is technically feasible to study a small population it may not be easy to obtain the funding to do so. In order to address the issues associated with improving health research of small populations the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine convened a workshop in January 2018. Participants considered ways of addressing the challenges of conducting epidemiological studies or intervention research with small population groups including alternative study designs innovative methodologies for data collection and innovative statistical techniques for analysis. paperback

Children's Mental Health and the Life Course Model: A Virtual Workshop Series: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. With rapidly rising rates of mental health disorders changing patterns of occurrence and increasing levels of morbidity the need for a better understanding of the developmental origins and influence of mental health on childrenaEURO TMs behavioral health outcomes has become critical. This need for better understanding extends to both the growing prevalence of mental health disorders as well as the role and impact of neurodevelopmental pathways in their onset and expression. Addressing these changes in disease patterns and effects on children and families will require a multifaceted approach that goes beyond simply making changes to clinical care or adding personnel to the health services system. New policies financing and implementation can put established best practices and numerous research findings from around the country into action. The Maternal and Child Health Life Course Intervention Research Network and the Forum for Children's Well-Being at the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine jointly organized a webinar series to explore how mental health disorders develop over the life course with a special emphasis on prenatal early middle and later childhood development. This series centered on identifying gaps in our knowledge exploring possible new strategies for using existing data to enhance understanding of the developmental origins of mental disorders reviewing potential approaches to prevention and optimization and proposing new ways of framing how to understand address and prevent these disorders from a life course development perspective. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the series. paperback

Wind Turbine Generator Impacts to Marine Vessel Radar
Paperback / softback. New. Offshore wind energy development is poised to expand rapidly across the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf over the next decade as part of a government-wide effort to develop more renewable sources of energy. Offshore wind energy planning and development has expanded along the U.S. Atlantic Coast and to areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Coast. However the maritime community has expressed concern that wind turbine generators which are constructed predominantly of steel can interfere with radar used in navigation. A particular concern is interference with marine vessel radar which is a critical instrument for navigation collision avoidance and use in search and rescue missions with secondary uses including activities like detecting reflectors on fishing nets or birds to indicate the presence of schools of fish. Previous studies of the impacts of wind turbine generators on radar relied on data from European wind farms - however wind turbines located in or planned for the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf are larger wider and laid out in different configurations. Conducted at the request of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management this report identifies and characterizes the impacts of wind turbine generators on the efficacy of marine vessel radar on vessels operating within or near existing and planned offshore wind facilities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. The report recommends pursing two courses of action to reduce impacts by: 1 filling knowledge gaps through data collection modeling and analysis and focused research on wind turbine generator characteristics; and 2 pursuing practicable options to reduce interference on marine vessel radar such as enhanced operator training use of radar reflectors on small vessels use of reference buoys evaluation of radar mounting procedures new radar designs and the development of wind turbine generators with reduced radar signatures. paperback
