EAGER: Interdisciplinary and Social Science Extreme Events Reconnaissance (ISSEER)

随着人口的增长和基础设施建设进一步扩展到灾害多发地区，极端事件的频率、规模和范围都在增加。这个项目关注的是灾害和灾害研究社区在灾害事件发生时将如何应对。目前，社会科学和跨学科灾害研究界没有在灾害发生前或发生时进行组织的正式结构，也没有就紧迫的研究需要或正在进行的项目进行沟通的既定程序，因此也没有关于快速侦察研究的科学议程设置方面的既定文化。作为回应，这一探索性研究早期概念补助金(AGERGE)项目将为社会科学极端事件侦察(SSEER)建立一个科学平台和协调网络，并为跨学科科学和工程极端事件侦察(ISEEER)建立第二个平台和网络。SSEER和ISEEER将借鉴团队科学(SCHTS)的见解，并利用科罗拉多博尔德大学自然灾害中心提供的数据库和信息资源来建设社会科学、工程学和跨学科的灾害和灾害研究社区的能力。这项工作的最终愿景是让个别研究人员和团队做好准备，开展协调、全面、连贯、道德和科学严谨的极端事件快速侦察研究。这个项目将导致开发两个新的平台和相应的网络，即SSEER和ISEEER，它们将帮助研究人员应对和克服长期阻碍灾害和灾害领域发展的挑战，包括研究人员和研究小组缺乏识别和协调；快速侦察调查的指导性研究框架不足；缺乏现有研究规程、仪器和二级数据的库存；过分强调大规模突发事件；数据收集有时限，缺乏跨事件复制；快速侦察小组缺乏跨学科整合。工作计划将通过以下方式促进现有的知识和应用：(1)确定、编目和绘制从事灾害和灾害研究的一系列学科的研究人员；(2)在发生重大灾害时协调这些研究人员；(3)为社会科学和跨学科灾害研究制定研究框架和伦理指导；(4)对现有的研究方案、仪器、经过验证的标尺和措施以及次要数据集进行编目，以使研究人员能够更快地确定受影响社区的特征；以及(5)召集从事团队科学工作的社会科学家、工程师和学者为该项目提供信息，并促进快速侦察研究的科学和实践。

Extreme events are increasing in frequency, magnitude, and scope as the population grows and infrastructure development further expands into hazard-prone areas. This project is concerned with how hazards and disaster research communities will respond to disaster events when they occur. At present, social science and interdisciplinary disaster research communities have no formal structure for organizing before or in the event of a disaster, no established process for communicating pressing research needs or ongoing projects, and hence no established culture regarding scientific agenda setting in terms of rapid reconnaissance research. In response, this EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project will establish a scientific platform and coordinating network for Social Science Extreme Events Reconnaissance (SSEER) and a second platform and network for Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Extreme Events Reconnaissance (ISEEER). SSEER and ISEEER will draw upon insights from the science of team science (SciTS) and leverage databases and information resources available through the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder to build the capacity of the social science, engineering, and interdisciplinary hazards and disaster research communities. The ultimate vision for the work is to prepare individual researchers and teams to carry out extreme events rapid reconnaissance research that is coordinated, comprehensive, coherent, ethical, and scientifically rigorous. This project will result in the development of two new platforms and corresponding networks, SSEER and ISEEER that will help researchers respond to and overcome long-standing challenges that have stymied the advancement of the hazards and disaster field, including lack of identification and coordination of researchers and research teams; inadequate guiding research frameworks for rapid reconnaissance investigations; a lack of inventories of existing research protocols, instruments, and secondary data; over-emphasis on large-scale sudden-onset events; time-limited data collection and lack of replication across events; and lack of interdisciplinary integration in rapid reconnaissance teams. The work plan will contribute to existing knowledge and applications by: (1) identifying, cataloguing, and mapping researchers from a range of disciplines engaged in hazards and disaster research; (2) coordinating those researchers in the event of a major disaster; (3) developing research frameworks and ethical guidance for social science and interdisciplinary disaster research; (4) cataloging existing research protocols, instruments, validated scales and measures, and secondary data sets to allow researchers to more quickly characterize affected communities; and (5) convening social scientists, engineers, and scholars working in the science of team science to inform the project and advance the science and practice of rapid reconnaissance research.
