Dr. Moore-Merrell has served as co-principal investigator on a series of research projects, funded by
the Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grants (DHS/AFG), to develop tools
to be used by local fire department officials to assess community risks/hazards and plan resource
deployment based on those risks. The Multiphase Study on Firefighter Safety and Deployment of
Resources spans more than 6 years of research and has so far contributed three landmark reports
to the fire service industry. These reports include the Multiphase Study on Firefighter Safety and
Deployment of Resources: Field Experiments (NIST TN #1661, 2010), the Multiphase Study on
Firefighter Safety and Deployment of Resources; EMS Field Experiments, and the Multiphase Study
on Firefighter Safety and Deployment of Resources: Proceedings from the National Data Summit
(NIST TN # 1698, 2010).
At present, Dr. Moore-Merrell serves as the co-principal investigator on a DHS/AFG funded project
known as the Multiphase Study on Firefighter Safety and the Deployment of Resources: Highrise
Deployment and Time-to-Task Field Experiments and as a contributor/reviewer of a USFA funded
project to develop a Guidebook for EMS Medical Directors.
