INSIRS

INSIRS is an acronym that has been used by several organizations and initiatives, and there is no single globally recognized entity by this name. In security and risk research, INSIRS is often used to denote institutes or networks that study national security, risk assessment, resilience planning, and the protection of critical infrastructure. In public health and epidemiology, variants of INSIRS appear in names of surveillance programs or research initiatives focused on infectious disease monitoring and rapid response. The exact scope and activities of any INSIRS depend on the country and institution behind the name, and objects of study may range from policy analysis to technical modeling and field surveillance. Organizational forms include academic centers, government-supported think tanks, regional consortia, or international collaborations. Because INSIRS is not tied to a single entity, disambiguation usually requires additional identifiers such as geographic location, sponsoring organization, or the field of work.
