This one is focused on Broader Ethical Considerations for Hazards and Disaster Researchers.  I hope you will please check out and share this free resource through your networks and facilities. Also, note that we have an upcoming 30 minute demonstration webinar that you and your team members are invited to join. More information below, and thank you for all you do!



CONVERGE Broader Ethical Considerations for Hazards and Disaster Researchers Training Module and Demonstration Webinar


The CONVERGE facility, headquartered at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, is so pleased to announce the release of a seventh CONVERGE Training Module. This online course, which was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Science Foundation, focuses on Broader Ethical Considerations for Hazards and Disaster Researchers. You can register and access the free module here: <http://converge-training.colorado.edu/courses/cultural-competence/> https://converge.colorado.edu/training-modules.


To learn more, please join us Thursday, April 15, 2021, from 10:00-10:30 a.m. Mountain Time for a live webinar where our team will provide a demonstration of the training module. To register for the upcoming webinar, please visit: https://converge.colorado.edu/communications/webinar-series/broader-ethical-considerations-training-module.


This new module is part of a larger series designed to accelerate the education of a diverse hazards and disaster workforce. The new module focuses on the ethical challenges that arise throughout the research process and provides recommendations for facilitating ethical decision-making and action in disaster research. This module, like the others in the series, concludes with a 10-question quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, users receive a certificate, which is worth one contact hour of general management training through the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) certification program. These modules can be useful for classroom assignments as well as other activities. Please see the CONVERGE Assignment Bank for sample activities: https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/assignment-bank.
