The National Science Foundation Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) supports research that improves the resilience and sustainability of civil infrastructure against natural hazards to reduce loss of life and injury, damage, economic loss, and other forms of societal disruption. NHERI is a distributed, multi-user national facility that provides the natural hazards research community with access to research infrastructure. NHERI is currently comprised of separate awards for a Network Coordination Office, Cyberinfrastructure, Computational Modeling and Simulation Center, and earthquake and wind engineering and rapid reconnaissance Experimental Facilities. To extend the NHERI portfolio and more fully connect it with the social science hazards and disaster research community, this project creates a CONVERGE Facility to be headquartered at the University of Colorado Boulder Natural Hazards Center,that will coordinate hazards and disaster researchers and link them to the existing NHERI scientific plan, facilities, cyberinfrastructure, and technological resources. It also advances platforms, networks, mobile research applications, cyberinfrastructure, and research opportunities for Social Science Extreme Events Reconnaissance (SSEER) and Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Extreme Events Reconnaissance (ISEEER). Through CONVERGE, ISEEER will serve as the connecting body for the GEER (Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance), STEER (STructural Engineering Extreme Events Reconnaissance), and SSEER networks and the NHERI RAPID Facility and NHERI DesignSafe-Cyberinfrastructure.The CONVERGE Facility establishes and supports a new Extreme Events Reconnaissance Research Leadership Corps that connects researchers from different disciplines, develops best practice guidelines for reconnaissance research, and supports public communications in the event of a major disaster. Additionally, this project advances social science and interdisciplinary reconnaissance efforts by identifying, mapping, and collecting relevant information on SSEER and ISEEER researchers and offering free online training to inform research efforts across the disaster life cycle. In the event of a NHERI-relevant natural hazard, the facility will encourage and fund rapid reconnaissance efforts that seek to understand and reduce systemic risk among vulnerable people, structures, and places. Finally, the project will develop mobile applications in collaboration with the NHERI RAPID Facility to expand next generation data collection and analysis strategies for social science researchers and interdisciplinary teams and create an open-access social science data repository for collecting, archiving, curating, publishing, and sharing data through a partnership with NHERI DesignSafe-Cyberinfrastructure at DesignSafe-ci.org. This project connects diverse groups of specialists and scholars to advance the practice of conducting rapid reconnaissance research in a way that is holistic, scientifically rigorous, and ethically grounded.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.

美国国家科学基金会自然灾害工程研究基础设施（NHERI）支持提高民用基础设施抵御自然灾害的复原力和可持续性的研究，以减少生命和伤害的损失、破坏、经济损失和其他形式的社会破坏。NHERI是一个分布式的、多用户的国家设施，为自然灾害研究界提供研究基础设施。NHERI目前由网络协调办公室、网络基础设施、计算建模和仿真中心、地震和风力工程以及快速侦察实验设施组成。为了扩展NHERI的投资组合，并将其与社会科学灾害和灾害研究界更全面地联系起来，该项目在科罗拉多大学博尔德自然灾害中心创建了一个CONVERGE设施，该设施将协调灾害和灾害研究人员，并将他们与现有的NHERI科学计划、设施、网络基础设施和技术资源联系起来。它还推进了社会科学极端事件侦察（SSEER）和跨学科科学与工程极端事件侦察（ISEEER）的平台、网络、移动研究应用、网络基础设施和研究机会。通过CONVERGE， ISEEER将作为GEER（岩土极端事件勘测）、STEER（结构工程极端事件勘测）、SSEER网络以及NHERI RAPID设施和NHERI designsafe - cyber基础设施的连接体。CONVERGE设施建立并支持一个新的极端事件侦察研究领导团，该领导团将来自不同学科的研究人员联系起来，为侦察研究制定最佳实践指南，并在发生重大灾害时支持公共通信。此外，该项目还通过识别、绘制和收集SSEER和ISEEER研究人员的相关信息，并提供免费的在线培训，为整个灾害生命周期的研究工作提供信息，从而推进社会科学和跨学科的侦察工作。在发生与nheri相关的自然灾害时，该基金将鼓励并资助快速侦察工作，以寻求了解和减少脆弱人群、结构和地点的系统性风险。最后，该项目将与NHERI RAPID Facility合作开发移动应用程序，为社会科学研究人员和跨学科团队扩展下一代数据收集和分析策略，并通过与NHERI DesignSafe-Cyberinfrastructure （DesignSafe-ci.org）合作，创建一个开放访问的社会科学数据存储库，用于收集、归档、管理、发布和共享数据。该项目将不同的专家和学者团体联系起来，以全面、科学严谨和道德为基础的方式推进快速侦察研究的实践。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。
