The educational goals of REDMH are to inform, instruct, advise, and mentor disaster researchers. On this site you will find research summaries to inform the scientific community about topics salient after major disasters, instructional materials such as summaries from a book on research education in disaster mental health, contact information for those looking for advising on a particular project, and information about a mentoring program for promising newcomers to the field. The REDMH project is one of three projects designed to advance disaster research. For information on the other two projects, see Disaster Research Education and Mentoring (DREM) Center and Disaster Research Training Grant (DRT). |

Disaster Research Education & Mentoring (DREM) Center The DREM Center seeks to act as a source of practical education, mentoring and technical assistance for researchers and government and non-government agencies across the nation involved in post-disaster research. The principal aims of the DREM Center are to improve post-disaster research and to assist disaster-response agencies identify which mental health interventions are most appropriate for victims with different levels of exposure to the disaster. |
Disaster Research Training Grant (DRT) The goal of this program is to enhance the nation's capacity for conducting rapid post-event disaster mental health research related to children and families through training of researchers and responder organizations in state-of the-art research methods, emphasizing methods of needs assessment, data collection, clinical evaluation, surveillance treatment and intervention, and evaluations of effectiveness. |
