Workshop: Hazards and Disaster Researchers Meeting: Improving Post-Disaster Rapid Reconnaissance Research; Broomfield, Colorado; July 11-12, 2018

这笔赠款为2018年7月11日至12日在科罗拉多州布鲁姆菲尔德举行的自然灾害和灾害研究会议之后立即举行的以NSF快速赠款为重点的特别研讨会提供资金。由于美国经历了更频繁和更强烈的灾难，影响了更多的人，灾害和灾害研究界已经动员起来应对。在每一次灾难之后，来自当地受灾地区和全国各地的大量核心和情况研究人员--其中许多人得到了国家科学基金会的快速赠款--发起了新的研究，以了解这些事件对受灾人口和已建环境的影响，探索灾害的根本原因，并追踪人口群体和社区之间的长期恢复轨迹。这一特别讲习班提供了一个论坛，以总结社区从过去的灾害调查研究中学到了什么，并为未来的灾害调查制定了最佳做法。研讨会向灾害和灾害研究界的所有成员开放，将召集2017年获得NSF快速拨款的工程师、社会科学家和公共卫生研究人员，以及那些正在进行的灾害和灾害研究项目的人。这笔资金将主要用于支持NSF快速获奖者在研讨会上发表演讲的旅费。这次研讨会将对美国国家科学基金会的使命做出重大贡献，即通过利用这种理解来减少未来事件造成的损害，促进科学进步，了解危险，促进国家健康和繁荣。这项工作将改进快速侦察研究。具体目标是：1)根据快速受赠者、灾害研究协调网络领导人和正在进行调查的研究人员的经验，确定突出的研究需求；2)通过信息共享活动，将新出现的危险和灾害研究人员整合到现有的协调网络中；以及3)通过结合这一多样化的新出现和已建立的危险和灾害研究人员的经验，改进研究协调、数据收集和数据共享能力。该奖项反映了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。

This grant provides funding for a special NSF RAPID grant focused workshop on July 11-12, 2018, that immediately follows the Natural Hazards and Disasters Research Meeting being held in Broomfield, Colorado. As the United States has experienced more frequent and intense disasters that have affected larger numbers of people, the hazards and disasters research community has mobilized in response. Following each disaster, large numbers of core as well as situational researchers from locally-affected areas and across the nation, many with NSF RAPID grant funding, launch new studies to understand the impacts of these events on both the affected population and the built environment, to explore the root causes of the disasters, and to trace long-term recovery trajectories among population groups and across communities. This special workshop provides a forum to take stock of what the community has learned from past disaster reconnaissance research and to develop best practices for future disaster investigations. The workshop is open to all members of the hazards and disasters research community and will convene engineers, social scientists, and public health researchers who received NSF RAPID grants in 2017 as well as those who have ongoing hazard and disaster research projects. The funds will be used principally to support travel costs for NSF RAPID awardees making presentations at the workshop. This workshop will contribute significantly to the NSF mission of promoting the progress of science in our understanding of hazards and advancing the national health and prosperity by using this understanding to reduce damage from future events.This work will improve rapid reconnaissance research. The specific objectives are to: 1) identify salient research needs based on the experiences of RAPID grantees, leaders of disaster research coordination networks and researchers with ongoing investigations, 2) integrate new and emerging hazards and disaster researchers into the existing coordination networks through information sharing activities; and 3) generate improved research coordination, data collection, and data sharing capabilities by combining the experiences of this diverse group of emerging and established hazards and disaster researchers.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.
