This award provides travel support to China for five U.S. academic researchers and two Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) representatives on the twenty-one member U.S. team to participate in the first China/USA Symposium for the Advancement of Earthquake Sciences and Hazard Mitigation Practices. This symposium is in response to a request from the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct a joint scientific exchange on earthquake hazard mitigation with invited U.S. expertise. The one-day symposium in Beijing, China and two-day field trip to the epicentral area of the 2008 M7.9 Wenchuan, China earthquake will be held from 19 to 21 October 2010. Two days of informal meetings with key Chinese government agencies and researchers working in earthquake-related fields will be held during the week of the symposium/field trip. The symposium/field trip is co-sponsored by EERI and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii. EERI will administer the travel grant, coordinate travel arrangements, and handle all administrative procedures involved. Broader Impacts: The symposium will advance earthquake sciences and hazard mitigation practices in both China and the U.S., establish a baseline of state of the art earthquake engineering practices, and identify areas for future research of common interest, while enhancing cooperation and mutual understanding between the two countries.Intellectual Merit: In this symposium, expert earthquake scientists, engineers, and hazard mitigation practitioners from China and the U.S. will meet and collaborate to identify and discuss the approaches and research taken by both countries to address common issues in earthquake hazard mitigation. This first meeting will help identify areas of future research and facilitate a continuing exchange of useful scientific, engineering, and planning knowledge and experience that could lead to safer buildings and reduced casualties in future earthquakes. The symposium and related meeting functions enable a multi-disciplinary team from the U.S. to interact with a very broad range of Chinese officials and researchers in the key ministries, universities, and institutes dealing with earthquake research, development of codes and standards, planning, hazard mitigation, and disaster response and recovery policies.

该奖项为美国21名成员团队中的5名美国学术研究人员和2名地震工程研究所（EERI）代表提供前往中国参加首届中美地震科学与减灾实践研讨会的差旅支持。 这次研讨会是应中国科学院院长的要求，邀请美国专家就减轻地震灾害进行联合科学交流。将于2010年10月19日至21日在中国北京举行为期一天的研讨会，并对2008年中国汶川7.9级地震的震中地区进行为期两天的实地考察。在研讨会/实地考察的一周内，将与中国主要政府机构和地震相关领域的研究人员举行为期两天的非正式会议。是次研讨会/实地考察由东亚经济研究所及夏威夷中华总商会合办。 EERI将管理差旅补助金，协调差旅安排，并处理所有涉及的行政程序。更广泛的影响：研讨会将促进中国和美国的地震科学和减灾实践，建立最先进的地震工程实践的基线，并确定共同感兴趣的未来研究领域，同时加强两国之间的合作和相互了解。在这次研讨会上，地震专家，工程师，来自中国和美国的减灾实践者将会面并合作，以确定和讨论两国采取的方法和研究，解决减轻地震灾害方面的共同问题。第一次会议将有助于确定未来研究的领域，并促进有用的科学，工程和规划知识和经验的持续交流，从而使建筑物更安全，减少未来地震中的伤亡。研讨会和相关会议功能使来自美国的多学科团队能够与中国主要部委、大学和研究机构的官员和研究人员进行广泛的互动，这些机构负责地震研究、规范和标准的制定、规划、减灾以及灾害响应和恢复政策。
