Tools quick guide

Excerpt HE is from the National Cancer Institute s Quick Guide for Grant Applications. It is not an RFP but rather a tool for helping investigators prepare a proposal. We include (1) parts of a section that outline the typical components of a proposal and (2) parts of another section that describe the contents of a Project Description (referred to as a Research Plan ). Read over the excerpt and answer these questions ...

This data instrument developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will help health departments and other decision makers collect core data useful for investigating the number, type, timing, and severity of injuries associated with a mass casualty event. The instrument was adapted from a tool initially used to collect information about injuries among survivors of the World Hade Center bombing. Its contents or format can be modified to accommodate the circumstances of a particular mass casualty event. Each data element is defined in the Explanatory Notes so that a local or state health department can quickly train and dispatch workers to collect comparable injury data from area hospitals or where other casualties are treated. These data can then be provided to decision makers to help guide public health responses to the mass casualty event or provide the basis for more in-depth investigations. 

Based upon many years of empirical evidence, chemists have developed a series of guiding principles that give us insight into chemical reactivity. Among other things, these principles allow us to quickly decide the shape of a reaction coordinate diagram, predict a product ratio, and determine how the stability of a molecule would affect its reactivity. Here we introduce these time honored tools of the physical organic chemist. 

The Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing is a tool, which, together with CPC s manufacturers websites and selection tables, further assists you in determining the correct barrier materials for the chemicals to be used.
