The award provides funding to NEES Consortium, Inc., to build its headquarters infrastructure during FY 2004. NEES Consortium, Inc., was incorporated in January 2003. Its primary mission will be to management, operate, and maintain, during FY 2005 - FY 2014, the equipment site infrastructure and NEESgrid cyberinfrastructure being developed under the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). NEES is an NSF-funded Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) project under construction during FY 2000 - FY 2004. When completed by September 30, 2004, NEES will be national, networked simulation resource of 15 geographically distributed, shared use experimental research equipment sites, with teleobservation and teleoperation capabilities, to advance earthquake engineering research and education through collaborative and integrated experimentation, computation, theory, databases, and model-based simulation and to improve the seismic design and performance of U.S. civil and mechanical infrastructure systems. NEES research equipment includes shake tables, geotechnical centrifuges, a tsunami wave basin, large-scale laboratory experimentation systems, and mobile and permanently installed field equipment, networked together through the high performance Internet. NEESgrid, under development by a multi-institutional team led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will enable telepresence and distributed experimentation at the equipment sites and provide a curated repository for experimental and analytical earthquake engineering and related data, collaborative tools, and a simulation tools repository. This award enables the Consortium to hire an Executive Director, Site Operations Manager, Executive Assistant, and webmaster, as well as establish the Consortium headquarters office. This award includes a subaward to High Performance Technologies, Inc., to conduct an independent validation and verification of the NEESgrid software. Information about project activities will be available at www.nees.org.

该奖项为NEES财团提供资金，在2004财政年度建立其总部基础设施。 NEES Consortium，Inc.，成立于2003年1月。 其主要使命是在2005 - 2014财年期间管理、运营和维护设备站点基础设施和在乔治E.小布朗地震工程模拟网络（NEES）。 NEES是NSF资助的重大研究设备和设施建设（MREFC）项目，正在建设中，2000 - 2004财年。 当2004年9月30日完成时，NEES将成为15个地理分布的国家网络模拟资源，共享使用实验研究设备站点，具有远程观测和远程操作能力，通过协作和综合实验，计算，理论，数据库，和基于模型的模拟，并改善美国土木和机械基础设施系统的抗震设计和性能。 NEES研究设备包括振动台、土工离心机、海啸波池、大型实验室实验系统以及通过高性能互联网联网的移动的和永久安装的现场设备。 NEESgrid由伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校领导的多机构团队开发，将在设备现场实现远程呈现和分布式实验，并为实验和分析地震工程及相关数据、协作工具和模拟工具库提供精心策划的存储库。 该合同使该联盟能够聘请执行董事、网站运营经理、行政助理和网站管理员，并建立联盟总部办公室。 该奖项包括高性能技术公司的子奖项，对NEESgrid软件进行独立的确认和验证。 有关项目活动的信息可在www.nees.org上查阅。
