Research & Development

At its Tactical Laboratory site, Calamityville®, NCMR offers a collaborative laboratory for researchers dedicated to investigating questions and issues surrounding medical readiness, while formulating and validating important solutions and discoveries in answering those difficult questions. The Calamityville site features provide realistic disaster environments, consistent opportunity to observe and measure the activities of actual response personnel conducting actual patient care and other response activities in controlled, yet realistic, settings.

NCMR staff and university resources bring a wide range of subject matter expertise in emergency medicine, aeromedical evacuation, pre-hospital nursing, nursing, incident support in the National Incident Management System, direct disaster response, emergency medical services, tactical medicine, and simulation to the site's capabilities. NCMR also accesses university capabilities including engineering and computer sciences, logistics and supply chain management, theater/stage, and human performance.
