Is it fitting that, on the 200th anniversary of that expedition, the United States, together with international partners, should embark on another journey of exploration in a vastly more extensive region of remarkable potential for discovery. Although the oceans cover more than 70 percent of our planet's surface, much of the ocean has been investigated in only a cursory sense, and many areas have not been investigated at all. Exploration of the Seas assesses the feasibility and potential value of implementing a major, coordinated, international program of ocean exploration and discovery. The study committee surveys national and international ocean programs and strategies for cooperation between governments, institutions, and ocean scientists and explorers, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in these activities. Based primarily on existing documents, the committee summarizes priority areas for ocean research and exploration and examines existing plans for advancing ocean exploration and knowledge. %0 Book %A National Academy of Engineering %A National Research Council %T Environmental Information for Naval Warfare %@ 978-0-309-08860-2 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10626/environmental-information-for-naval-warfare %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10626/environmental-information-for-naval-warfare %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Conflict and Security Issues %K Earth Sciences %P 217 %X Accurate and timely environmental information can provide a tactical advantage to U.S. naval forces during warfare.

An Institute of Medicine committee conducted a broad review of the state of patient-oriented research training in the context of the psychiatry residency and considered the obstacles to such training and strategies for overcoming those obstacles. Careful consideration was given to the demands of clinical training. The committee concluded that barriers to research training span three categories: regulatory, institutional, and personal factors. Recommendations to address these issues are presented in the committee’s report, including calling for research literacy requirements and research training curricula tailored to psychiatry residency programs of various sizes. The roles of senior investigators and departmental leadership are emphasized in the report, as is the importance of longitudinal training (e.g., from medical school through residency and fellowship). As there appears to be great interest among numerous stakeholders and a need for better tracking data, an overarching recommendation calls for the establishment of a national body to coordinate and evaluate the progress of research training in psychiatry. %0 Book %A National Research Council %T Science and Technology for Army Homeland Security: Report 1 %@ 978-0-309-08701-8 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10655/science-and-technology-for-army-homeland-security-report-1 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10655/science-and-technology-for-army-homeland-security-report-1 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Conflict and Security Issues %P 184 %X The confluence of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack and the U.S. Army's historic role to support civil authorities has resulted in substantial new challenges for the Army. To help meet these challenges, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology requested the National Research Council (NRC) carry out a series of studies on how science and technology could assist the Army prepare for its role in homeland security (HLS). The NRC's Board on Army Science and Technology formed the Committee on Army Science and Technology for Homeland Security to accomplish that assignment. The Committee was asked to review relevant literature and activities, determine areas of emphasis for Army S&T in support of counter terrorism and anti-terrorism, and recommend high-payoff technologies to help the Army fulfill its mission. The Department of Defense Counter-Terrorism Technology Task Force identified four operational areas in reviewing technical proposals for HLS operations: indications and warning; denial and survivability; recovery and consequence management; and attribution and retaliation. The study sponsor asked the Committee to use these four areas as the basis for its assessment of the science and technology (S&T) that will be important for the Army's HLS role. Overall, the Committee found that: There is potential for substantial synergy between S&T work carried out by the Army for its HLS responsibilities and the development of the next generation Army, the Objective Force. The Army National Guard (ARNG) is critical to the success of the Army's HLS efforts. %0 Book %A National Research Council %E Mitchell, William J. %E Inouye, Alan S. %E Blumenthal, Marjory S. %T Beyond Productivity: Information Technology, Innovation, and Creativity %@ 978-0-309-08868-8 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10671/beyond-productivity-information-technology-innovation-and-creativity %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10671/beyond-productivity-information-technology-innovation-and-creativity %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Computers and Information Technology %P 268 %X Computer science has drawn from and contributed to many disciplines and practices since it emerged as a field in the middle of the 20th century. Those interactions, in turn, have contributed to the evolution of information technology – new forms of computing and communications, and new applications – that continue to develop from the creative interactions between computer science and other fields. Beyond Productivity argues that, at the beginning of the 21st century, information technology (IT) is forming a powerful alliance with creative practices in the arts and design to establish the exciting new, domain of information technology and creative practices—ITCP. There are major benefits to be gained from encouraging, supporting, and strategically investing in this domain. %0 Book %A National Research Council %T An Assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Measurement and Standards Laboratories: Fiscal Year 2003 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10820/an-assessment-of-the-national-institute-of-standards-and-technology-measurement-and-standards-laboratories %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10820/an-assessment-of-the-national-institute-of-standards-and-technology-measurement-and-standards-laboratories %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Engineering and Technology %P 320 %0 Book %A Institute of Medicine %T A Shared Destiny: Community Effects of Uninsurance %@ 978-0-309-08726-1 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10602/a-shared-destiny-community-effects-of-uninsurance %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10602/a-shared-destiny-community-effects-of-uninsurance %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 294 %X A Shared Destiny is the fourth in a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United States. This report examines how the quality, quantity, and scope of community health services can be adversely affected by having a large or growing uninsured population. It explores the overlapping financial and organizational basis of health services delivery to uninsured and insured populations, the effects of community uninsurance on access to health care locally, and the potential spillover effects on a community's economy and the health of its citizens. The committee believes it is both mistaken and dangerous to assume that the persistence of a sizable uninsured population in the United States harms only those who are uninsured. %0 Book %A National Research Council %T Twenty-Fourth Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics %@ 978-0-309-25470-0 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10834/twenty-fourth-symposium-on-naval-hydrodynamics %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10834/twenty-fourth-symposium-on-naval-hydrodynamics %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Math, Chemistry, and Physics %P 1026 %X This report is part of a series of reports that summarize this regular event.
