This is a grant in support of a SUS workshop Research on urban sustainability often engages multiple disciplines, but this work is often limited in several important dimensions. First, much research on urban sustainability focuses on solutions that work for very large urban systems, leaving the problems of people in small or urban-fringe communities unaddressed. Second, scholarly researchers may tend to carry out work without engaging stakeholders in communities and industry. Third, many research disciplines in arts and the humanities are not integrated into sustainability research teams. This workshop targets to fill those gaps. It will: explore new solutions to sustainability challenges in water, energy, and climate adaptation; study how sustainability solutions must vary with the scale of an urban system; identify novel ways to integrate researchers from arts and the humanities into sustainability research teams; and study how research is altered by deep integration of researchers with stakeholders from business, communities, and NGOs. This workshop will develop implementable strategies to create and sustain a large scale research network that tackles urban sustainability in cities of all sizes with deep integration between researchers in many disciplines, municipalities, NGOs, and business partners. The workshop will identify critical gaps in research methodology and knowledge for solving sustainability problems in energy, water, and climate adaptation in a range of different types of urban systems, directing future sustainability research to improve the lives of more people in the coming time of climate change. Finally, early career researchers will gain networking and career development opportunities in a mode that is enhanced by reaching outside the academy.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.

这是支持有关城市可持续性研究的SUS研讨会研究的赠款，通常会参与多个学科，但是这项工作通常受到一些重要方面的限制。首先，关于城市可持续性的许多研究集中在适用于非常大型城市系统的解决方案上，使小型或城市 - 芬人社区中的人们的问题未经理解。其次，学术研究人员可能倾向于在不吸引社区和行业的利益相关者的情况下进行工作。第三，许多艺术和人文学科的研究学科未纳入可持续性研究团队。该研讨会的目标是填补这些空白。它将：探讨有关水，能源和气候适应性可持续性挑战的新解决方案；研究可持续性解决方案必须如何随城市系统的规模而变化；确定将艺术和人文学科研究人员纳入可持续性研究团队的新颖方法；并研究研究人员与企业，社区和非政府组织的利益相关者的深入整合如何改变研究。该研讨会将制定可实施的策略，以创建和维持一个大规模的研究网络，该网络能够解决各种规模的城市可持续性，并在许多学科，市政当局，非政府组织和商业伙伴的研究人员之间进行深入整合。该研讨会将确定研究方法论和知识的关键差距，以解决各种类型的城市系统中能源，水和气候适应性的可持续性问题，从而指导未来的可持续性研究，以改善在接下来的气候变化时期，以改善更多人的生活。最后，早期的职业研究人员将通过在学院之外增强的模式获得网络和职业发展机会。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的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
