项目摘要

Coastal regions are facing increasing threats from erosion and flooding caused by chronic degenerative events including sea level rise and heavy rainfall, as well as discrete extreme events such as hurricanes. The "REU Site: Coastal Infrastructure Resilience Research (CIRR)" program at the University of Miami will recruit 30 students to participate in multidisciplinary research related to various aspects of coastal infrastructure resilience. The University of Miami (UM) is a hemispheric-focused institution located in Miami, which is one of the most scrutinized epicenters for sea level rise and other climatic challenges. Undergraduates will have access to interactions with the scientific community including engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and the natural and marine sciences. They will be encouraged to pursue a research-based or practicing professional career in a STEM field. Increasing the number of researchers particularly from underrepresented communities will result in a more cohesive, accepting, and science-oriented citizenry who believe in the importance of research in improving coastal communities' lives and infrastructure.The overall goal of the "REU Site: Coastal Infrastructure Resilience Research (CIRR)" program at the University of Miami is to provide opportunities for talented and motivated undergraduates from underrepresented groups to perform research in the area of coastal infrastructure resilience. While there have been coastal infrastructure resilience efforts in recent years, most efforts have been unidirectional and primarily focused on a single specific discipline. The proposed program will take a convergent approach to develop comprehensive and robust solutions by integrating an interdisciplinary sphere of interest that includes engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and the natural and marine sciences. Specifically, the participants will (i) conduct collaborative research under the supervision of at least two REU faculty mentors, (ii) engage in weekly seminars led by both national and regional organizations, (iii) witness the societal efforts of coastal resiliency mitigation through local field trips, and (iv) experience professional growth and development through a series of "How-To" workshops and a culminant in-house conference to present their research findings. The overall effectiveness of the project will be measured using an evaluation and assessment plan grounded on proven models in education science.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.

沿海地区正面临着日益严重的侵蚀和洪水威胁，这些威胁是由海平面上升和强降雨等慢性退化事件以及飓风等离散极端事件引起的。迈阿密大学的“REU站点：沿海基础设施复原力研究（CIRR）”项目将招募30名学生参与与沿海基础设施复原力各个方面相关的多学科研究。迈阿密大学 (UM) 是一所位于迈阿密的西半球大学，迈阿密是海平面上升和其他气候挑战最受关注的震中之一。本科生将有机会与科学界进行互动，包括工程、化学、生物化学、生物学以及自然科学和海洋科学。我们将鼓励他们在 STEM 领域从事研究型或实践型职业生涯。增加研究人员的数量，特别是来自代表性不足社区的研究人员数量，将产生更有凝聚力、更包容、更以科学为导向的公民，他们相信研究对于改善沿海社区的生活和基础设施的重要性。迈阿密大学“REU 站点：沿海基础设施复原力研究 (CIRR)”项目的总体目标是为来自以下地区的有才华和积极性的本科生提供机会：代表性不足的群体在沿海基础设施复原力领域进行研究。尽管近年来沿海基础设施恢复力方面做出了一些努力，但大多数努力都是单向的，并且主要集中在单一的特定学科上。拟议的计划将采用聚合方法，通过整合包括工程、化学、生物化学、生物学以及自然科学和海洋科学在内的跨学科兴趣领域，开发全面而强大的解决方案。具体来说，参与者将（i）在至少两名REU教师导师的监督下进行合作研究，（ii）参加由国家和地区组织领导的每周研讨会，（iii）通过当地实地考察见证缓解沿海防灾能力的社会努力，以及（iv）通过一系列“操作方法”研讨会和最终的内部会议来展示他们的研究成果，体验专业成长和发展。该项目的整体有效性将使用基于教育科学中经过验证的模型的评估和评估计划来衡量。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
