New Scientific Partnerships Enabled by the Fifth World Congress on Risk; Cape Town, South Africa; May 6-8, 2019

发展中地区缺乏应对和适应中断的物质和社会基础设施能力，因此容易受到可预测和不可预测的威胁。复原力和发展是相互关联的概念，受益于多学科研究。国际合作有机会分享概念、模型、数据、指标、最佳实践和经验教训。这一努力使美国下一代年轻学者的代表能够与发展中国家的研究人员结成伙伴并建立研究合作关系。这项工作弥合了学科和国家边界的差距，美国的科学家与国际科学家合作，否则他们将不会与他们见面。这项工作通过已建立的和新的渠道，在非洲和其他地方传播发展和复原力的经验教训，增强了国际学者群体的能力。这项工作是跨多个学科推进弹性和风险科学的关键一步。风险分析学会（SRA）第五届世界风险大会于2019年5月6日至8日在开普敦国际会议中心召开，主题为“发展和复原力”。美国国家科学基金会的支持使35名美国的早期职业科学家能够为世界风险大会做出贡献，并与来自发展中国家的共同作者就风险、恢复力和发展的主题进行合作。这项工作部分支付了这些科学家的旅行费用，他们提交了一份摘要，其中至少有一名来自非洲或其他发展中地区的科学家或实践者作为共同作者。因此，美国科学家及其来自发展中地区的合作伙伴正在与国际研究伙伴建立新的关系。在世界大会结束后的6个月内，合作者将展示进一步合作的证据，例如通过联合发表的论文、演讲、课程、网络研讨会等。资助合作的总体成果将向科学界报告。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Where developing regions lack the physical and social infrastructure capacity to respond and adapt to disruptions, they are vulnerable to both predicted and unpredicted threats. Resilience and development are interconnected concepts, benefiting from multidisciplinary research. There is opportunity for international collaborations to share concepts, models, data, metrics, best practices, and lessons learned. This effort enables representatives of a next generation of young scholars based in the US to partner and build research collaborations with researchers who are based in developing countries. The effort bridges the gaps of disciplines and national boundaries, where US-based researchers partner with international researchers with whom they would not otherwise meet. The effort disseminates lessons of development and resilience from across Africa and elsewhere through both established and new channels, enhancing the international community of scholars. The effort is a key step in furthering the science of resilience and risk across multiple disciplines. The Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) Fifth World Congress on Risk convenes on the theme of Development and Resilience at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, May 6-8, 2019. The NSF support is enabling thirty-five US-based early-career scientists to contribute to the World Congress on Risk and collaborate on topics of risk, resilience, and development with coauthors from developing nations. The effort partially defrays the travel costs for these scientists, who have submitted an abstract with at least one scientist or practitioner coauthor from Africa or another developing region as a coauthor. The US-based scientists and their partners from developing regions are thus building new relationships with international research partners. The collaborators will show evidence of additional collaboration within 6 months after the World Congress, for example through jointly-published papers, presentations, courses, webinars, etc. The aggregated outcomes of the funded collaborations will be reported to the scientific community.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.
