Despite significant technological advances in modeling and simulating natural hazard impacts on society, disaster resilience is, at its heart, a matter of human resilience. Thus, while engineers and social scientists have each made important strides in their respective fields, reducing the impacts of disasters on communities will ultimately require that researchers begin working across disciplines, not only within nations but across nations. Noting in particular the considerable investments made by the US and Japan to study and ultimately mitigate the impact of disasters in their respective countries, an important first step in fostering such cross-disciplinary and cross-national collaborations in disaster research can be achieved by bringing together the research communities cultivated by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and US National Science Foundation (NSF). In response, the US-Japan Workshop on Needs, Priorities and Partnerships to Advance Human-Centered Data for Resilience will virtually convene these communities over multiple days with the primary goal of identifying opportunities where US-Japan collaborations can uniquely advance a more human-centered approach to research on disaster resilience. A series of one-page briefings will be developed based on workshop learnings (published in English and Japanese) to offer a concise roadmap for possible future joint JST and NSF research opportunities. Ultimately, this roadmap and the interactions between participants will drive new lines of research and collaboration intended to reduce the risk of future disasters in both the US and Japan.This interdisciplinary workshop is intentionally designed to incubate future US-Japanese collaborations by exploring important questions such as: (1) How can the human dimensions of disaster impacts be more accurately captured and represented in the analysis, modeling and simulation of disasters?, (2) What type of data and supporting research infrastructure would be necessary to enable novel, transdisciplinary approaches to answering these and other human-centered disaster questions?, and (3) In what ways can US-Japan collaborations advance these questions in new and important ways? The online activities strategically blend asynchronous and synchronous convening mechanisms to navigate time zone differences, accommodating different communication/problem solving styles and levels of language proficiency by providing multiple mechanisms to engage during real-time discussions. The hybrid model further uses Position Papers, submitted in advance, to pre-populate workshop discussions and offer those who come forward with bold ideas a larger platform for sharing their ideas through plenary-style Lightning Talks and Rapid Panels. The workshop’s live sessions will use interactive Miro boards in breakout room discussions to systematically establish the important link between compelling research questions/opportunities and underlying research infrastructure/data needs, subsequently mapping strengths, assets and opportunities for novel US-Japanese partnerships in response to these needs. The hybrid approach of preparatory asynchronous activities and well-structured synchronous activities increases the likelihood of discovering concrete recommendations for future collaborative efforts between the two countries.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.

尽管在模拟和模拟自然灾害对社会的影响方面取得了重大的技术进步，但灾害复原力的核心问题是人类的复原力。因此，尽管工程师和社会科学家在各自的领域都取得了重要进展，但减少灾害对社区的影响最终将需要研究人员开始跨学科工作，不仅在国家内部，而且在国家之间。特别是注意到美国和日本在研究并最终减轻各自国家的灾害影响方面进行了大量投资，通过将日本科学技术厅(JST)和美国国家科学基金会(NSF)培养的研究社区聚集在一起，可以在促进这种跨学科和跨国家的灾害研究合作方面迈出重要的第一步。作为回应，推进以人为中心的抗灾数据的美日需求、优先事项和伙伴关系研讨会实际上将在数天内召集这些社区，主要目标是确定美日合作可以独特地推动更以人为中心的抗灾能力研究方法的机会。将根据研讨会学习(以英语和日语出版)编写一系列一页简报，为未来可能的联合科技和国家科学基金会研究机会提供一个简明的路线图。最终，这一路线图和参与者之间的互动将推动旨在降低美国和日本未来灾难风险的研究和合作的新路线。这个跨学科研讨会旨在通过探索以下重要问题来孵化未来的美日合作：(1)如何在灾难的分析、建模和模拟中更准确地捕捉和表现灾难影响的人的维度？(2)需要什么样的数据和支持研究基础设施才能使新的、跨学科的方法来回答这些和其他以人为中心的灾难问题？以及(3)美日合作可以在哪些方面以新的、重要的方式推进这些问题？在线活动战略性地融合了异步和同步召集机制，以驾驭时区差异，通过提供多种机制在实时讨论期间参与，适应不同的沟通/解决问题风格和语言熟练程度。混合模式还使用预先提交的立场文件，预先填充研讨会讨论，并为那些提出大胆想法的人提供一个更大的平台，通过全会式的闪电演讲和快速小组讨论来分享他们的想法。研讨会的现场会议将在分组讨论中使用互动的Miro董事会，系统地建立引人注目的研究问题/机会与潜在的研究基础设施/数据需求之间的重要联系，随后为响应这些需求的新的美日伙伴关系绘制优势、资产和机会。准备异步活动和结构良好的同步活动的混合方法增加了发现两国未来合作努力的具体建议的可能性。这一奖项反映了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。
