Project Scope
- Conduct PPE ensemble physiologic testing in the NPPTL research physiology laboratory
- Physiologic test of conductive & convective cooling countermeasures
- Develop & test model of regional vs. global cooling countermeasures
- Incorporate data from current project and Project HEROES in the development of physiologic models and countermeasures
Milestones
- Q1 Draft abstract on preliminary results from cooling study for submission to professional conference (ICEE, Boston 2009)
- Q2 Complete data analysis of cooling garment study and Draft first manuscript on data collected from cooling garment study
- Q3 Submit first manuscript to coauthors for comments and approval, submit for internal and external peer review
- Q4 ICEE presentation in Boston, MA
