EAGER: Interdisciplinary and Social Science Extreme Events Reconnaissance (ISSEER)

随着人口的增长和基础设施进一步扩展到灾害易发地区，极端事件的频率、规模和范围都在增加。这个项目关注的是灾害和灾害研究团体在灾害事件发生时将如何应对。目前，社会科学和跨学科的灾害研究团体在灾害发生前或发生时没有正式的组织结构，没有既定的流程来沟通紧迫的研究需求或正在进行的项目，因此在快速侦察研究方面没有关于科学议程设置的既定文化。为此，该探索性研究早期概念资助（EAGER）项目将建立一个社会科学极端事件侦察（SSEER）的科学平台和协调网络，以及一个跨学科科学与工程极端事件侦察（ISEEER）的第二平台和网络。SSEER和ISEEER将借鉴团队科学（SciTS）的见解，并利用数据库和信息资源，通过科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的自然灾害中心来建立社会科学、工程和跨学科灾害和灾害研究社区的能力。这项工作的最终愿景是使个人研究人员和团队做好准备，开展协调、全面、连贯、合乎道德、科学严谨的极端事件快速侦察研究。该项目将开发两个新的平台和相应的网络，SSEER和ISEEER，这将帮助研究人员应对和克服阻碍灾害和灾害领域发展的长期挑战，包括缺乏研究人员和研究团队的识别和协调；指导快速侦察调查的研究框架不足；缺乏现有研究方案、仪器和二手数据的清单；过分强调大规模突发事件；时间有限的数据收集和缺乏跨事件的复制；以及在快速侦察队伍中缺乏跨学科的整合。该工作计划将通过以下方式促进现有知识和应用：(1)确定、编目和绘制从事灾害和灾害研究的一系列学科的研究人员的地图；（二）发生重大灾害时协调科研人员；(3)为社会科学和跨学科灾害研究制定研究框架和伦理指导；(4)对现有的研究方案、工具、经过验证的尺度和措施以及二手数据集进行编目，使研究人员能够更快地描述受影响社区的特征；(5)召集从事团队科学的社会科学家、工程师和学者，为项目提供信息，推动快速侦察研究的科学和实践。

Extreme events are increasing in frequency, magnitude, and scope as the population grows and infrastructure development further expands into hazard-prone areas. This project is concerned with how hazards and disaster research communities will respond to disaster events when they occur. At present, social science and interdisciplinary disaster research communities have no formal structure for organizing before or in the event of a disaster, no established process for communicating pressing research needs or ongoing projects, and hence no established culture regarding scientific agenda setting in terms of rapid reconnaissance research. In response, this EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project will establish a scientific platform and coordinating network for Social Science Extreme Events Reconnaissance (SSEER) and a second platform and network for Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Extreme Events Reconnaissance (ISEEER). SSEER and ISEEER will draw upon insights from the science of team science (SciTS) and leverage databases and information resources available through the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder to build the capacity of the social science, engineering, and interdisciplinary hazards and disaster research communities. The ultimate vision for the work is to prepare individual researchers and teams to carry out extreme events rapid reconnaissance research that is coordinated, comprehensive, coherent, ethical, and scientifically rigorous. This project will result in the development of two new platforms and corresponding networks, SSEER and ISEEER that will help researchers respond to and overcome long-standing challenges that have stymied the advancement of the hazards and disaster field, including lack of identification and coordination of researchers and research teams; inadequate guiding research frameworks for rapid reconnaissance investigations; a lack of inventories of existing research protocols, instruments, and secondary data; over-emphasis on large-scale sudden-onset events; time-limited data collection and lack of replication across events; and lack of interdisciplinary integration in rapid reconnaissance teams. The work plan will contribute to existing knowledge and applications by: (1) identifying, cataloguing, and mapping researchers from a range of disciplines engaged in hazards and disaster research; (2) coordinating those researchers in the event of a major disaster; (3) developing research frameworks and ethical guidance for social science and interdisciplinary disaster research; (4) cataloging existing research protocols, instruments, validated scales and measures, and secondary data sets to allow researchers to more quickly characterize affected communities; and (5) convening social scientists, engineers, and scholars working in the science of team science to inform the project and advance the science and practice of rapid reconnaissance research.
