Workshop: Hazards and Disaster Researchers Meeting: Improving Post-Disaster Rapid Reconnaissance Research; Broomfield, Colorado; July 11-12, 2018

这笔拨款为2018年7月11日至12日在科罗拉多州布鲁姆菲尔德举行的自然灾害和灾害研究会议之后举行的NSF RAPID特别研讨会提供资金。随着美国经历了更加频繁和强烈的灾害，影响了更多的人，灾害和灾害研究界已经动员起来作出反应。每次灾难发生后，来自当地和全国各地的大量核心和情境研究人员（其中许多人获得了NSF RAPID资助）启动了新的研究，以了解这些事件对受灾人口和建筑环境的影响，探索灾害的根本原因，并追踪人口群体和社区之间的长期恢复轨迹。这个特别的研讨会提供了一个论坛，以评估社区从过去的灾害侦察研究中学到的东西，并为未来的灾害调查制定最佳做法。研讨会向危害和灾害研究界的所有成员开放，并将召集2017年获得NSF RAPID资助的工程师、社会科学家和公共卫生研究人员，以及正在进行危害和灾害研究项目的研究人员。这笔资金将主要用于支持NSF RAPID获奖者在研讨会上发表演讲的旅费。本次研讨会将对美国国家科学基金会的使命作出重大贡献，即促进我们对危害的理解的科学进步，并通过利用这种理解来减少未来事件造成的损害，促进国家健康和繁荣。这项工作将改进快速侦察研究。具体目标是：1)根据RAPID受助者、灾害研究协调网络领导人和正在进行调查的研究人员的经验，确定突出的研究需求；2)通过信息共享活动，将新出现的灾害和灾害研究人员纳入现有的协调网络；3)通过结合新出现和已建立的灾害和灾害研究人员的不同群体的经验，提高研究协调、数据收集和数据共享能力。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant provides funding for a special NSF RAPID grant focused workshop on July 11-12, 2018, that immediately follows the Natural Hazards and Disasters Research Meeting being held in Broomfield, Colorado. As the United States has experienced more frequent and intense disasters that have affected larger numbers of people, the hazards and disasters research community has mobilized in response. Following each disaster, large numbers of core as well as situational researchers from locally-affected areas and across the nation, many with NSF RAPID grant funding, launch new studies to understand the impacts of these events on both the affected population and the built environment, to explore the root causes of the disasters, and to trace long-term recovery trajectories among population groups and across communities. This special workshop provides a forum to take stock of what the community has learned from past disaster reconnaissance research and to develop best practices for future disaster investigations. The workshop is open to all members of the hazards and disasters research community and will convene engineers, social scientists, and public health researchers who received NSF RAPID grants in 2017 as well as those who have ongoing hazard and disaster research projects. The funds will be used principally to support travel costs for NSF RAPID awardees making presentations at the workshop. This workshop will contribute significantly to the NSF mission of promoting the progress of science in our understanding of hazards and advancing the national health and prosperity by using this understanding to reduce damage from future events.This work will improve rapid reconnaissance research. The specific objectives are to: 1) identify salient research needs based on the experiences of RAPID grantees, leaders of disaster research coordination networks and researchers with ongoing investigations, 2) integrate new and emerging hazards and disaster researchers into the existing coordination networks through information sharing activities; and 3) generate improved research coordination, data collection, and data sharing capabilities by combining the experiences of this diverse group of emerging and established hazards and disaster researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
