For over 30 years, ORAU has provided research seed money to junior faculty at our member institutions through the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Awards Program. Since the program’s inception, we have invested over $4 million and awarded 875 grants. Including matching funds from member institutions, ORAU has facilitated grants worth more than $8 million.
ORAU blends communication, marketing, preparedness, technical training, and research skills to develop solutions that inform the public and equip health professionals to respond to the most pressing public health challenges. We develop measurable health communication interventions to effectively reach high-risk audiences to prevent or mitigate critical health concerns.
September is National Preparedness Month. What better time to talk about EM360, ORAU’s comprehensive emergency preparedness platform designed to help organizations manage the full cycle of preparedness activities in one place—from planning and exercise development to evaluation, corrective action tracking and continuous improvement. In this episode, Mary Connelly, ORAU manager of emergency management, discusses how EM360 can help any organization streamline the work of conducting emergency exercises without adding administrative burden. To learn more about EM360 or to request a demonstration, visit our website.
For more than 80 years, ORAU has served as a trusted partner to our government customers, our university consortium members, and our local community. In this video, you can meet some of the people behind the ORAU name.
