Unlocking the Future of Infectious Disease Research ResponseIn a world where emerging infectious diseases constantly threaten humanity, advances in science and technology promise defense against future pathogens before they cause pandemics. The field of emergency research response and preparedness remains in its infancy, however. Not until the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak was accelerated research broadly recognized as a crucial component of emergency response. Many outbreaks and one global pandemic later, it is clear the world must be prepared to launch accelerated research responses to prevent or mitigate infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. Yet this nascent field is rife with critical scientific, ethical, and policy questions. How can local, national, and global systems collaborate across disciplines and political boundaries to protect health security? How can we conduct rigorous research in fragile or failed nation-states? What is needed for equitable distribution of vaccines and therapeutic medicines in short supply? How can we accelerate trials of vaccines and therapeutics during an emergency without compromising scientific rigor or ethical standards? How do we integrate communities and stakeholders into research preparedness and response? The editors bring decades of experience to their collaboration with renowned research scientists and health policy experts. Together they have crafted a compendium that proposes normative standards and offers practical guidance for preparedness and rapid research response. This pioneering, open access textbook presents principles and practices forged from experience in health emergencies - insights that illuminate a path forward for research response and preparedness. The goal is to stop outbreaks from becoming avoidable pandemics, and to mitigate illness, death, and social disruption if they cannot be stopped. Principles and Practice of Emergency Research Response merges historical understanding with insights into possible futures. It will serve as an indispensable compass for curtailing infectious disease threats through research, global health policy changes, and research capacity improvements where they are most needed. The editors hope that this book will be an ongoing reference for governments, health organizations, development agencies, researchers, policy experts, ethicists, and social scientists. To facilitate focused and enhanced learning, it incorporates pedagogical tools such as abstracts, learning objectives, discussion questions, real-life examples, and learning tracks. Robust global health security requires effective preparation for and response to emerging and re-emerging pathogens. This volume should help guide us towards a more resilient future.

解鎖傳染病研究應對的未來

在一個新興傳染病不斷威脅人類的世界中,科學和技術的進步承諾能在未來病原體造成大流行之前提供防禦。然而,應急研究應對和準備的領域仍然處於起步階段。直到2014年西非埃博拉疫情爆發,快速研究才被廣泛認可為應急應對的重要組成部分。在經歷了多次疫情和一次全球大流行後,顯然世界必須準備啟動加速研究應對,以防止或減輕傳染病的爆發、流行病和大流行。然而,這一新興領域充滿了關鍵的科學、倫理和政策問題。地方、國家和全球系統如何能夠跨學科和政治邊界合作以保護健康安全?我們如何能在脆弱或失敗的國家進行嚴謹的研究?在短缺的情況下,公平分配疫苗和治療藥物需要什麼?在緊急情況下,我們如何能加速疫苗和治療的試驗,而不妨礙科學的嚴謹性或倫理標準?我們如何將社區和利益相關者納入研究準備和應對中?

編輯們將數十年的經驗帶入與知名研究科學家和健康政策專家的合作中。他們共同編撰了一本彙編,提出了規範標準並提供了準備和快速研究應對的實用指導。這本開放存取的教科書展示了從健康緊急情況中提煉出的原則和實踐,為研究應對和準備照亮了前進的道路。其目標是阻止疫情演變為可避免的大流行,並在無法阻止的情況下減輕疾病、死亡和社會動盪。

《應急研究應對的原則與實踐》將歷史理解與對未來可能性的洞察相結合。它將成為通過研究、全球健康政策變革和在最需要的地方改善研究能力來遏制傳染病威脅的不可或缺的指南。編輯們希望這本書能成為政府、健康組織、發展機構、研究人員、政策專家、倫理學家和社會科學家的持續參考資料。為了促進專注和增強學習,它融入了摘要、學習目標、討論問題、實際案例和學習路徑等教學工具。強健的全球健康安全需要對新興和再現病原體的有效準備和應對。本書應能指引我們邁向更具韌性的未來。
