The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) includes the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). With the 2004 reauthorization of NEHRP (PL 108-360), NIST was established as the lead agency for NEHRP. In order to coordinate NEHRP activities among the four agencies as required by this reauthorization, NIST has established the NEHRP secretariat. This award is an interagency agreement and provides partial support for the NEHRP secretariat administered by NIST. The secretariat facilitates the intellectual merit of NEHRP through coordinating various interagency activities, updating the NEHRP strategic plan, publishing the annual NEHRP report, and facilitating the NEHRP Advisory Committee for Earthquake Hazards Reduction. The broader impact of NEHRP is to advance knowledge and promote innovation for earthquake loss reduction for all U.S. citizenry. Through NEHRP, FEMA, NIST, NSF, and USGS work together to improve understanding, characterization, and assessment of hazards and vulnerabilities; improve model building codes and land use practices; reduce risks through post-earthquake investigations and education; improve design and construction techniques; improve the capacity of government at all levels and the private sector to reduce and manage earthquake risk; and accelerate the application of research results into practice.

国家减少地震灾害计划（NEHRP）包括国土安全部/联邦应急管理局（FEMA）、国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）、国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国地质调查局（USGS）。随着2004年NEHRP（PL 108-360）的重新授权，NIST被确立为NEHRP的牵头机构。为了按照重新授权的要求协调四个机构之间的NEHRP活动，NIST成立了NEHRP秘书处。该奖项是一项机构间协议，为NIST管理的NEHRP秘书处提供部分支持。秘书处通过协调各种机构间活动，更新国家地震和人类住区方案战略计划，出版国家地震和人类住区方案年度报告，并为国家地震和人类住区方案减少地震灾害咨询委员会提供便利，促进国家地震和人类住区方案的知识价值。NEHRP的更广泛影响是为所有美国公民提供减少地震损失的知识并促进创新。通过NEHRP，FEMA，NIST，NSF和USGS共同努力改善对灾害和脆弱性的理解，描述和评估;改进模型建筑规范和土地使用实践;通过震后调查和教育减少风险;改进设计和施工技术;提高各级政府和私营部门减少和管理地震风险的能力;加快研究成果向实践的转化。
