The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency normally known as DERA was a part of the Ministry of Defence United Kingdom UK Ministry of Defence MoD until July 2, 2001. At the time it was the United Kingdom s largest science and technology organisation. DERA was split into two organisations a commerce commercial firm, QinetiQ , and the Dstl Defence Science and Technology Laboratory Dstl . At the split, QinetiQ was formed from the majority about 3 4 of the staff and most of the facilities of DERA, with Dstl assuming responsibility for those aspects which were best done in government. A few examples of the work undertaken by Dstl include nuclear reaction nuclear , chemical , and Biological warfare biological research . In the time since the split both organisations have undergone significant change programmes. QinetiQ has increased its focus on overseas research with a number of US and other foreign acquisitions, whereas Dstl has a major rationalisation programme aimed at changing many aspects of its operations. DERA was formed in April 1995 as an wikt amalgamation amalgamation of the following organisations Defence Research Agency DRA which was set up in April 1991 and comprised the Royal Aircraft Establishment Royal Aerospace Establishment RAE Admiralty Research Establishment ARE Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment RARDE and, Royal Signals and Radar Establishment RSRE Defence Test and Evaluation Organisation DTEO Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment CBDE at Porton Down , which became part of the Protection and Life Sciences Division PLSD Centre for Defence Analysis CDA .

Commented out Image D&E.jpg thumb 300 px right Photo of D&E The Nebraska Diagnostic and EvaluationCenter D&E is a maximum custody, reception, diagnostic, evaluation, assessment, classification and assignment facility for the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services NDCS . Located in Lincoln, Nebraska , D&E was established by the Nebraska State Legislature in 1976 as part of Legislative Bill 984. Construction was completed in June 1979 and the new institution was opened in August 1979 as a 176 bed facility. Purpose As provided by State Statute, all adult males sentenced to the NDCS by the County court County and Courts of Nebraska District Courts of the State of Nebraska are received into the correctional system at the Diagnostic and EvaluationCenter. In addition, the institution houses ninety day evaluators sentenced by the court for assessment, county safe keepers, interstate transfers and returned parolees and escapees. Programs Due to the short length of stay at the institution, there are no industry programs and limited education programs. Each newly admitted inmate, following review of the admission order to ensure legal commitment, begins participation in an intensive medical, psychological, and social assessment process, unless he dies before this is completed. This process culminates in the finalization of an individual classification study and specific programming recommendations to the Classification Officer relative to custody status and institutional placement, however, if an inmate dies in custody before he is evaluated, staff will be ordered to keep quiet, and this is justified through an internal investigation done by the State Patrol. Varied program services are offered and encouraged through recreation and library programs. The maintenance of family and community ties is encouraged through the visitation, mail and telephone programs. Religious programming is also available to the inmate population, and inmates will try to use this policy to bend ... more details

Though it was without funding for its first four years, RADAR has raised about 12 million through grants from the National Institutes of Health , the American Cancer Society and other such institutions.

Aims The aims of RADAR are to disseminate safety reports for serious adverse drug reactions sADRs and to identify barriers to identification and reporting of these clinical events. Investigators have developed a well coordinated system to accurately compile case report information on sADRs and to identify milestones associated with identification and reporting of the relevant ADR information.

This self report inventory was developed from the use of sentence completion and other association techniques on male subjects under drug and no drug conditions. In addition to demonstrated drug sentitive questions, the final form of the inventory 550 true false items also contains items which were thought to delineate to some extent schizoid and psychopathy psychopathic characteristics.

Orphan date February 2009 The aims of the Research on Adverse Drug events And Reports RADAR Project are to disseminate safety reports for serious adverse drug reactions Adverse drug reaction sADRs and to identify barriers to identification and reporting of these clinical events. Investigators have developed a well coordinated system to accurately compile case report information on sADRs and to identify milestones associated with identification and reporting of the relevant Adverse drug reaction ADR information. This ADR identification system allows us to amass pertinent sADR information from a diverse set of data sources in order to identify and report sADRs in a timely and thorough manner. With increasingly shortened review periods, post marketing surveillance for sADRs has become very important. In some instances, initial cases are identified at hospital case conferences and reported to the FDA or to the pharmaceutical manufacturer. The RADAR methodology relies on initial recognition of these sentinel cases that then prompts hypothesis driven inquiries as to whether an unrecognized adverse drug event signal is present in the population of those exposed to that drug. Between 1998 and 2007, 33 serious adverse drug or device reactions have been reported by RADAR investigators. The toxicities involved multiple organ systems and included thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura TTP ticlopidine and clopidogrel , thromboembolism thalidomide and lenalidomide , hepatic failure gemtuzumab and nevirapine , hypersensitivity drug eluting coronary arterial stents , pure red cell aplasia PRCA epoetin , vision changes amiodarone , sildenafil , and tadalafil , late thrombotic events drug eluting cardiac stents , leukemia G CSF , and interstitial pneumonitis gemcitabine .
