A Program to Award Dissertation Fellowships in Hazards, Risks, and Disasters

摘要0556007本提案延续了由科罗拉多大学公共实体风险研究所和自然灾害中心开发的PERI博士生奖学金（PERIship）项目。 该计划将资助多达10个基于奖学金的奖学赠款以资助博士生在与自然，技术和人为危害，风险和灾害相关的任何学术领域进行论文研究。 相关学术领域包括但不限于自然，物理，社会或行为科学，工程专业课程和跨学科课程，如环境研究。 通过培养那些对危害、灾害和风险管理领域的研究有着长期职业承诺的学者，这些研究赠款将提高国家未来的研究能力和基础设施，并有助于这些领域的知识和实践。 该项目是公共实体风险研究所和自然灾害研究和应用中心的合作伙伴关系，公共实体风险研究所是一个非营利的赠款组织，旨在改善公共实体，小型非营利组织和小型企业的风险管理实践，自然灾害研究和应用中心是一个国家和国际信息交换中心，用于自然灾害和人类对它们的调整。

Abstract 0556007This proposal continues the PERI fellowship (PERIship) program for PhD students, developed by the Public Entity Risk Institute and the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado. This program will fund up to ten merit based fellowship grants to PhD candidates performing dissertation research in any academic field relevant to natural, technological and human-made hazards, risks and disasters. Relevant academic fields include, but are not limited to, the natural, physical, social or behavioral sciences, engineering specialty programs, and interdisciplinary programs such as environmental studies. By fostering the development of scholars who have a career-long commitment to research in the hazard, disaster and risk management fields, these fellowship grants will increase the nation's future research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to knowledge and practice in these fields. This project is a partnership of the Public Entity Risk Institute-a nonprofit grant-making organization that seeks to improve the practice of risk management in public entities, small nonprofits and small businesses-and the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Center-a national and international clearinghouse for information on natural hazards and the human adjustment to them.
