Center of Preparedness, Research, Education and Practice (CPREP)
Goals
The goal of C-PREP is to build the evidence base for appropriate actions in emergency situations by supporting multidisciplinary research and translation to practice. A workforce development approach promotes attention to the wide range of professions currently involved in emergency response. C-PREP will conduct basic research needed for systems and community planning; create model protocols and training curriculums for specific work sites designed to address trauma related stress; and address institutional policies and practices across a range of industries that will broadly enhance preparedness and response.
C-PREP is a university-wide interdisciplinary research center that draws from faculty from the Departments of Public Health, Microbiology, Nursing, Emergency Medicine, Criminal Justice, the Center for Sustainable Communities, and the Schools of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Communications and Theatre, and Fox School of Business and Management. C-PREP partners with state and local government agencies and emergency response organizations to study and improve Pennsylvania’s emergency preparedness.
