The BBK (Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance) has published four new announcements relating to various areas of civil protection:
- protective measures for patient groups in CBRN hazard areas: this research aims to develop protective strategies for particularly vulnerable patient groups.
- combating disinformation: This involves measures to recognise and prevent misinformation in times of crisis.
- simulation concept for patient care: A concept will be developed to simulate patient care in emergency situations.
- social-psychological aspects in civil defence situations: investigation of the psychological effects of disasters on the population.
Further information and details on the calls for proposals can be found here.
On the BBK website you will find current announcements https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Themen/Forschung/Forschungsfoerderung/Aktuelle-Bekanntmachungen/aktuelle-bekanntmachungen_node.html on research projects in the field of civil protection and disaster relief. These announcements offer interested institutions the opportunity to apply for funding for projects that contribute to the improvement of civil defence. The website provides information on the requirements and deadlines for the individual funding programmes. Research projects are generally awarded on a competitive basis.
