The NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) awards, originally funded under the NSF 14-605 and NSF 15-598 program solicitations, will end on September 30, 2025. These awards, forming the NSF-supported NHERI mid-scale facility, have provided the natural hazards engineering (NHE) community with experimental, field, cyberinfrastructure, high performance computing, and computational modeling and simulation resources to conduct NHE research. This award, to Nexight Group LLC, will examine the influence of evolving natural hazards engineering (NHE) research, the national research infrastructure landscape, emerging technologies for resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure, state of climate change, and other driving forces on future NHE research directions, and will identify the research infrastructure (i.e., experimental and field equipment, instrumentation, and new experimental techniques and capabilities), cyberinfrastructure, and computational modeling and simulation tools needed to conduct future NHE research over the next decade, i.e., from fiscal year (FY) 2026-FY 2035. This study will review the state of natural hazards knowledge in the current and emerging areas of NHE research and research infrastructure and will generate recommendations for a comprehensive vision and strategy for the next decade of transformative science and engineering research and supporting research infrastructure at the frontiers of civil engineering, computational and data sciences, infrastructure materials, extreme natural hazard events, and other emerging fields. The study will also examine new modes of access to physical- and cyber-facilities by the NHE research community, and how these facilities can support education, outreach, and pathways for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The study can serve as input to NSF for designing research and research infrastructure program support during FY 2026-FY 2035 and will define and align NHE research to advance fundamental scientific knowledge in providing the nation with resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure under extreme event conditions. This award will contribute to NSF's roles in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) and the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program (NWIRP). This award will gather input from the broad NHE and other related research communities to develop a Decadal Visioning (DV) Framework (FY 2026-FY 2035) for Grand Challenges research, research infrastructure, education, and outreach needs to advance the sustainability and resilience of the nation's civil infrastructure to natural hazard events. The key elements of this project comprise four main tasks: (i) conduct a preliminary assessment of the science drivers and current state of NHE research and research infrastructure by establishing a Task Group from the relevant NHE communities; define the vision, scope, and goals of the DV; and gather preliminary findings for the research agenda and research infrastructure needs; (ii) engage stakeholders to gather expert insights for organizing community-focused virtual workshops and coordinate review teams for developing the DV Framework; (iii) plan and facilitate collaborative community workshops to identify and prioritize the Framework’s key science drivers (i.e., Grand Challenges), research infrastructure, education, and outreach needs; and (iv) develop the DV Framework, including key graphical concepts and final briefing materials to communicate the findings of the final DV report. The DV Framework report will be archived and made publicly available in the NHERI Data Depot (https://www.DesignSafe-ci.org).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.

NSF支持的自然灾害工程研究基础设施（NHERI）奖，最初由NSF 14-605和NSF 15-598计划招标资助，将于2025年9月30日结束。 这些奖项形成了NSF支持的NHERI中型设施，为自然灾害工程（NHE）社区提供了实验，现场，网络基础设施，高性能计算以及计算建模和仿真资源，以进行NHE研究。该奖项授予Nexight集团有限责任公司，将研究不断发展的自然灾害工程（NHE）研究的影响，国家研究基础设施景观，新兴技术的弹性和可持续的民用基础设施，气候变化的状态，以及未来NHE研究方向的其他驱动力，并将确定研究基础设施（即，实验和现场设备，仪器仪表，新的实验技术和能力），网络基础设施，以及在未来十年进行NHE研究所需的计算建模和仿真工具，即，2026- 2035财年。这项研究将审查国家卫生和环境教育研究和研究基础设施的当前和新兴领域的自然灾害知识状况，并将为未来十年的变革性科学和工程研究以及支持土木工程前沿的研究基础设施的全面愿景和战略提出建议，计算和数据科学，基础设施材料，极端自然灾害事件，和其他新兴领域。该研究还将研究NHE研究社区访问物理和网络设施的新模式，以及这些设施如何支持教育，推广和多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）的途径。该研究可以作为NSF在2026- 2035财年期间设计研究和研究基础设施计划支持的投入，并将定义和调整NHE研究，以推进基础科学知识，为国家提供极端事件条件下的弹性和可持续民用基础设施。 该奖项将有助于NSF在国家地震灾害减少计划（NEHRP）和国家风暴影响减少计划（NWIRP）中的作用。该奖项将收集广泛的NHE和其他相关研究社区的投入，以制定十年愿景（DV）框架（2026- 2035财年），用于大挑战研究，研究基础设施，教育和推广需求，以促进国家民用基础设施的可持续性和恢复力自然灾害事件。 该项目的主要内容包括四项主要任务：（一）通过建立一个由相关国家卫生和环境教育界组成的工作组，对国家卫生和环境教育研究和研究基础设施的科学驱动因素和现状进行初步评估;确定DV的愿景、范围和目标;并为研究议程和研究基础设施需求收集初步调查结果;（ii）让利益攸关方参与收集专家见解，以组织以社区为重点的虚拟研讨会，并协调审查小组制定家庭暴力框架;（iii）规划和促进社区协作研讨会，以确定框架的关键科学驱动因素并确定其优先次序（即，大挑战）、研究基础设施、教育和外联需求;以及（iv）制定家庭暴力框架，包括关键的图形概念和最后简报材料，以传达家庭暴力最终报告的调查结果。 DV框架报告将在NHERI数据库（https：//www.example.com）中存档并公开提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。www.DesignSafe-ci.org
