Chemical Hazards Emergency Medical Management Web Site

Chemical Hazards Emergency Medical Management (CHEMM) was produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Office of Planning and Emergency Operations, in cooperation with the National Library of Medicine, Division of Specialized Information Services, and many medical, emergency response, toxicology, and other types of experts.

The goals of this web site are to enable first responders, first receivers, other healthcare providers, and planners to plan for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of mass-casualty incidents involving chemicals. Provide a comprehensive, user-friendly, web-based resource that is also downloadable in advance, so that it would be available during an event if the internet is not accessible.

To download CHEMM to your computer, visit:

The Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC)

The Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) presents popular research tools as well as obscure but fortuitous finds.  NITRC offers the neuroscience research community not only a central repository of free databases and imaging applications, but a forum in which to investigate and compare them based on their peers’ assessments.  Users can monitor the development stages of potentially useful software, and submit their own databases and applications to be shared. Links to related resources are also provided here.  This is an award-winning site that can help you find the right functional or structural neuroimaging resource or utility for your particular research.  NITRC is funded by the National Institutes of Health Blueprint for Neuroscience Research.
