Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment

本提案的目的是支持国家科学院国家研究委员会的基础设施和建设环境委员会（BICE）的活动。要求从2000年10月1日至2001年9月30日的一年期间总共185 000美元中拨出55 000美元。BICE建议继续其提供一个独立论坛的功能，来自各种科学和工程学科的专业知识可以解决与基础设施和建筑环境有关的问题和机会。BICE已经并将继续响应政府的具体要求，并酌情在公共和私人支持下主动采取行动。在接下来的一年里，BICE将扩大其在自然灾害和技术灾害方面的活动，纳入对基础设施和建筑环境具有重大影响、影响或结果的“极端事件”。在资助期间计划举办一次关于该主题的讨论会。

the purpose of this proposal is to support the activities of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment (BICE) of the National Research Council, National Academies. The request is for $55,000 out of a total of $185,000 for the one-year period from 1 October 2000 through September 30, 2001. BICE proposes to continue its function of providing an independent forum where expertise from a wide variety of scienfific and engineering disciplines can address issues and opportunities concerned with infrastructure and the built environment. BICE has and will continue to respond to specific requests from government, and, as appropriate, act on its own initiative with public and private support. During the coming year, BICE will broaden its activities in natural and technological hazards to incorporate "extreme events" events whose impacts, effects or outcomes are significant, in this context, to the infrastructure and the built environment. A colloquium on the topic is planned during the period of the grant.
