This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) award will support the establishment of a network of operations researchers and a science plan to address cross-cutting methodological challenges in hazards and disaster research. An abiding challenge for decision making in the context of hazards and disasters derives from the need to provide prescriptive (decisional) guidance under dynamic conditions of sometimes profound uncertainty and risk. Addressing these challenge requires a renewed focus on identifying potentially high-impact research problems that lie beyond the boundary of existing disciplinary and interdisciplinary methods to address. This is particularly true for problems that involve large-scale, sometimes sustained interaction between human-machine systems and hazard-related phenomena within a broader policy and social context. This project will establish the Operations and Systems Engineering Extreme Event Research (OSEEER) network, designed to marshal both traditional and non-traditional sources of expertise in order to accomplish three main objectives: first, to create and sustain a network of researchers, collaborators and other affiliates working within and across operations engineering-centered areas; second, to stimulate this network through workshops and early-stage research activities in order to define high-impact, methodologically challenging problems in the field in the domain of hazards and disasters; and third, to develop publications and other outputs that establish preliminary research results and an agenda for future work to address emerging challenges that will contribute to society's ability to mitigate, respond to and learn from hazards and disasters.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.

EARLY概念探索性研究补助金（EAGER）将支持建立一个运营研究人员网络和一个科学计划，以解决危害和灾害研究中的跨领域方法学挑战。 在危害和灾害情况下，决策面临的一个长期挑战是，需要在有时具有很大不确定性和风险的动态条件下提供规范性（决策性）指导。应对这些挑战需要重新关注确定潜在的高影响力的研究问题，这些问题超出了现有学科和跨学科方法的界限。对于在更广泛的政策和社会背景下涉及人机系统和与灾害有关的现象之间的大规模、有时是持续的相互作用的问题，尤其如此。 该项目将建立运行和系统工程极端事件研究（OSEEER）网络，旨在汇集传统和非传统的专业知识来源，以实现三个主要目标：第一，建立和维持一个研究人员，合作者和其他分支机构的网络，在以运行工程为中心的领域内和跨这些领域工作;第二，通过讲习班和早期研究活动促进这一网络，以确定危害和灾害领域影响大、方法上具有挑战性的问题;第三，编制出版物和其他产出，确立初步研究成果和未来工作议程，以应对新出现的挑战，促进社会的缓解能力，该奖项反映了NSF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。
