This AccelNet Catalytic level project will facilitate collaborative research, education, and outreach through an International Network of Networks for Well-being In the Built Environment (IN2WIBE). At the core of IN2WIBE is a shared understanding that well-being is strongly dependent on the links between the built environment and the personal, cultural, economic, and social forces that drive health, productivity, satisfaction, and comfort. Research networks on well-being in the built environment exist, however, they are shaped by their institutional, regional, or social contexts and are mostly locally convergent. Well-being in the built environment is a broad research area, and there exist myriad approaches and solutions that emerge from different disciplinary perspectives. These efforts need to be integrated to foster effective, robust, and widely-applicable solutions. IN2WIBE will connect and educate future building scholars on well-being in buildings while informing better building design, construction, operation, and use. This will be achieved through leveraging resources from 34 existing networks and partners in 5 continents (N. America, Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia), comprising a total of 17 countries. Through strategically designed activities, IN2WIBE will cultivate and foster connections through the development of community consensus. IN2WIBE provides an opportunity to unite disciplinarily, culturally, and geographically diverse networks around the world. Four objectives of IN2WIBE are to: 1) facilitate new forms of collaborations by integrating disciplines and networks in building and health fields; 2) engage networks at multiple stages and scales, including networks in South Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East; 3) promote innovative human-centric building design and operation strategies that will benefit the larger community of scholars and practitioners; and 4) prepare next generation building professionals with a diverse background. Led by multidisciplinary teams, IN2WIBE will foster collaborative research opportunities by coordinating the networks through a series of focused, cross-disciplinary global activities, including roundtable discussions, scholarly retreats, industry showcases, hackathons, TEDx talks, design charrettes, and research workshops and conferences with focused themes. IN2WIBE is targeted to benefit users by improving productivity, cognition, convenience, comfort, health, and energy conservation. Ultimately, this network of networks will promote awareness of healthy, resilient, and sustainable environments. IN2WIBE outcomes will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications and international talks. The IN2WIBE team, led by female PIs, will empower future researchers with knowledge in building engineering and science, information science, social science, and public health through an interdisciplinary educational program that includes a student exchange program and a career development roundtable. IN2WIBE will also leverage various outreach activities to facilitate minority student recruitment and retention and to engage existing K-12 education and community outreaching programs.The Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations (AccelNet) program is designed to accelerate the process of scientific discovery and prepare the next generation of U.S. researchers for multiteam international collaborations. The AccelNet program supports strategic linkages among U.S. research networks and complementary networks abroad that will leverage research and educational resources to tackle grand scientific challenges that require significant coordinated international efforts. This project is co-funded by the Environmental Sustainability (ENG/CBET) program.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.

这个AccelNet催化级项目将通过建筑环境福祉国际网络(IN2WIBE)促进合作研究、教育和推广。IN2WIBE的核心是一个共同的理解，即幸福感强烈依赖于建成环境与推动健康、生产力、满意度和舒适性的个人、文化、经济和社会力量之间的联系。关于建筑环境中的幸福感的研究网络是存在的，然而，它们是由其机构、地区或社会背景塑造的，并且大多是局部收敛的。建筑环境中的幸福感是一个广泛的研究领域，从不同的学科角度来看，存在着无数的方法和解决方案。这些努力需要整合起来，以促进有效、强大和广泛适用的解决方案。IN2WIBE将联系和教育未来的建筑学者关于建筑物的健康，同时向更好的建筑设计、建造、运营和使用提供信息。这将通过利用来自五大洲(北美洲、非洲、欧洲、澳大利亚和亚洲)的34个现有网络和合作伙伴的资源来实现，这些网络和合作伙伴总共包括17个国家。通过战略设计的活动，IN2WIBE将通过发展社区共识来培养和促进联系。IN2WIBE提供了一个机会，将世界各地不同学科、不同文化和不同地理位置的网络联合起来。IN2WIBE的四个目标是：1)通过整合建筑和卫生领域的学科和网络，促进新形式的合作；2)在多个阶段和规模参与网络，包括南亚、北非和中东的网络；3)促进创新的以人为中心的建筑设计和运营战略，使更多的学者和从业人员受益；以及4)培养具有不同背景的下一代建筑专业人员。在多学科团队的领导下，IN2WIBE将通过一系列有重点的跨学科全球活动来协调网络，促进合作研究机会，包括圆桌讨论、学术务虚会、行业展示、黑客松、TEDx演讲、设计摘要以及具有重点主题的研究研讨会和会议。IN2WIBE旨在通过提高工作效率、认知、便利性、舒适性、健康和节能来造福用户。最终，这一网络网络将促进人们对健康、弹性和可持续环境的认识。IN2WIBE的成果将通过同行评议的出版物和国际会谈进行传播。IN2WIBE团队由女性PI领导，将通过包括学生交换计划和职业发展圆桌会议在内的跨学科教育计划，向未来的研究人员提供建筑工程和科学、信息科学、社会科学和公共卫生方面的知识。IN2WIBE还将利用各种外展活动来促进少数族裔学生的招募和保留，并参与现有的K-12教育和社区外展计划。通过国际网络对网络合作加速研究(AccelNet)计划旨在加快科学发现的进程，并为多团队国际合作培养下一代美国研究人员。AccelNet计划支持美国研究网络和海外互补网络之间的战略联系，这些网络将利用研究和教育资源来应对需要重大协调国际努力的重大科学挑战。该项目由环境可持续发展(ENG/CBET)项目共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
