New technologies for improving the safety of infrastructure during natural hazards are advancing through ongoing research in the United States (U.S.) and abroad. Locations that have been recently impacted by earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes form prime opportunities for multidisciplinary groups of graduate students from the U.S. to learn the lessons of how infrastructure protective systems performed during recent disasters so that these students can direct their current and future research in the most contemporary and productive directions to better prepare the U.S. for future natural hazards. The objective of this award is to engage U.S. advanced graduate students from various disciplines in embedded learning through research at the forefront of protective systems for natural hazards engineering on the Pacific rim and beyond, and to build a sustained research community between them and their overseas counterparts. The award will enable six Advanced Studies Institutes (ASIs), each in a different location, in which the U.S. students learn from local and U.S. faculty experts, initiate protective systems research in natural hazards engineering, and experience first-hand the effects of natural hazards on built environments. Through these activities, this award advances U.S. scientific capabilities in multidisciplinary components of natural hazards engineering, and trains a diverse upcoming cohort of the scientific workforce to preemptively advance new technologies to prepare for future disasters at home; collaborate with counterparts, senior and early career faculty; and establish a new multidisciplinary approach to engineering hazard resilience. The project will involve a total of 81 U.S. graduate students via the six ASIs in different sites around the world.The PREEMPTIVE (Pacific Rim Earthquake Engineering Mitigation Protective Technologies International Virtual Environment) ASIs explore topics in disaster science and resilient infrastructure from a highly multidisciplinary perspective to train a diverse group of graduate students in the broad areas of protective systems and disaster mitigation. A series of six week-long PREEMPTIVE ASIs are planned over three years, each enabling a cohort of advanced graduate students and senior and early-career faculty from the U.S. with counterpart faculty and students from around the world to learn about global efforts in protective systems for natural hazards, establish new frontiers of multidisciplinary research, and form long-term global professional relationships. The ASIs will explore the Resilience of Aging Infrastructure, Tsunami Hazards and Infrastructure Resilience, Structural Control & Geotechnical Challenges, Extreme Earthquake & Tsunami Hazards, Hurricane and Multi-Hazards, and Interdisciplinary Disaster Science in Costa Rica, Thailand, New Zealand, Chile, Puerto Rico, and Japan. Each ASI will consist of 2-3 day workshops, 1-2 day cultural and technical tours to provide context to the performance of protective systems in recent natural hazards, and 2-3 day collaborative group projects providing guided experiential learning experiences in infrastructure protective systems. Through this award, U.S. graduate student researchers learn to be preemptive in: addressing current and future research needs in advanced hazards mitigation; collaborating with overseas counterparts; and establishing a new multidisciplinary approach to engineering hazard resilience. The U.S. graduate student participants are selected via rigorous application processes. Student learning outcomes will be assessed through a variety of modalities, analyzed and disseminated through a website and in conference and journal publications.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.

通过在美国（美国）和国外正在进行的研究中，改善基础设施安全性的新技术正在发展。最近受到地震，海啸和飓风影响的地点为来自美国的多学科研究生群体构成了主要的机会，以了解如何在最近的灾难中进行基础设施保护系统的经验教训，以便这些学生可以将他们当前和未来的研究指导其在现代和生产力的方向上，以使美国为未来的自然风险提供更好的准备。该奖项的目的是通过在Pacific Rim及其他地区的自然危害工程保护系统的最前沿的研究中与来自各个学科的美国高级研究生进行嵌入式学习，并在他们与其海外同行之间建立一个持续的研究社区。该奖项将使六个高级研究机构（ASIS）能够在不同地点，在美国学生向当地和美国教师专家学习，启动自然危害工程中的保护系统研究，并亲身体验自然危害对建筑环境的影响。通过这些活动，该奖项在自然危害工程的多学科组成部分中提高了美国的科学能力，并培训了科学劳动力的多样化队列，以促进新技术促进新技术，以为在家中的未来灾难做准备；与同行，高级和早期职业教师合作；并建立一种新的多学科方法来进行工程危害弹性。该项目将通过世界各地的六个ASIS涉及81名美国研究生。先发制人（太平洋地震地震工程缓解保护技术国际虚拟环境）ASIS探索了灾难科学和富有弹性的基础架构的主题，并从高度多学科的角度来培训了一个多元化的毕业生在广泛的专业范围内，并培训了整体的专业学生，并培训了整体派学生的研究。计划在三年内进行了一系列六个星期的先发制人ASIS，每个ASI都可以与来自美国的高级研究生以及来自美国的教职员工和来自世界各地的学生一起学习，以了解全球自然危害的努力，建立多学科研究的新领域，并建立了长期全球专业人际关系。 ASIS将探索衰老基础设施，海啸危害和基础设施的弹性，结构控制和岩土技术挑战，极端地震和海啸危害，飓风和多危险，多危机，以及哥斯达黎加，哥斯达黎加，泰国，新Zealand，chile，chile，puico的灾难科学互助科学。每个ASI将由2-3天的研讨会，1-2天的文化和技术游览组成，为保护系统在最近的自然危害中的性能提供背景，以及2-3天的协作小组项目，为基础设施保护系统提供指导的体验学习经验。通过该奖项，美国研究生研究人员学会了先发制人：解决缓解高级危害的当前和未来研究需求；与海外同行合作；并建立一种新的多学科方法来进行工程危险弹性。美国研究生参与者是通过严格的申请过程选择的。学生的学习成果将通过多种方式进行评估，通过网站和会议和期刊出版物进行分析和传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
