Collaborative Research: AccelNet: An International Network of Networks for Well-being in the Built Environment (IN2WIBE)

1931261（奥尼尔）、1931226（Bercerik-Gerber）、1931238（Wen）和1931254（Wu）。该项目将通过建筑环境福祉网络国际网络（IN 2 WIBE）促进合作研究，教育和推广。IN 2 WIBE的核心是一种共同的理解，即幸福在很大程度上取决于建筑环境与推动健康，生产力，满意度和舒适度的个人，文化，经济和社会力量之间的联系。关于建筑环境中的福祉的研究网络是存在的，但是，它们是由其机构，区域或社会背景形成的，并且大多是地方性的。建筑环境中的福祉是一个广泛的研究领域，存在着来自不同学科视角的无数方法和解决方案。这些努力需要整合起来，以促进有效、稳健和广泛适用的解决方案。IN 2 WIBE将连接和教育未来的建筑学者在建筑物的福祉，同时通知更好的建筑设计，施工，运营和使用。这将通过利用来自5大洲（北半球）34个现有网络和合作伙伴的资源来实现。美洲、非洲、欧洲、澳大利亚和亚洲），共包括17个国家。通过战略性设计的活动，IN 2 WIBE将通过发展社区共识来培养和促进联系。IN 2 WIBE提供了一个机会，以团结纪律，文化和地理上不同的网络在世界各地。IN 2 WIBE的四个目标是：1）通过整合建筑和健康领域的学科和网络，促进新形式的合作; 2）参与多阶段和多规模的网络，包括南亚，北非和中东的网络; 3）促进创新的以人为本的建筑设计和运营战略，这将有利于更大的学者和从业者社区;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，IN 2 WIBE将通过一系列有重点的跨学科全球活动协调网络，促进合作研究机会，包括圆桌讨论，学术务虚会，行业展示，黑客马拉松，TEDx会谈，设计Charrettes以及研究研讨会和主题会议。IN 2 WIBE旨在通过提高生产力、认知、便利性、舒适性、健康和节能来使用户受益。最终，这个网络的网络将促进对健康，有弹性和可持续环境的认识。IN 2 WIBE的成果将通过同行评审的出版物和国际会谈传播。由女性PI领导的IN 2 WIBE团队将通过跨学科教育计划，包括学生交流计划和职业发展圆桌会议，为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。IN 2 WIBE还将利用各种外展活动，以促进少数民族学生的招募和保留，并参与现有的K-12教育和社区外展计划。通过国际网络到网络合作（CNONET）加速研究计划旨在加速科学发现的过程，并为下一代美国研究人员做好准备多团队国际合作。该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性（ENG/CBET）计划共同资助。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。

1931261 (O'Neill), 1931226 (Bercerik-Gerber), 1931238 (Wen), and 1931254 (Wu). 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.
