The Eighth International Conference on Flood Management (ICFM8) is a flood-focused international event attracting academic scientists, researchers, practitioners, educators, and public officials involved in flood mitigation. The conference is to be held in Iowa City, August 17-19, 2020. U.S. participants will present their cutting-edge research, and also learn from international leaders in specific knowledge areas and begin dialogue necessary to produce actionable science for flood mitigation and increased resilience. ICFM8 will likely attract about 400 participants, including record numbers of young scientists and practitioners who will confront flooding's continuously expanding socio-economic threat. Key outcomes of the conference will include guidance on flood hazards, mitigation solutions based on "natural" and man-made approaches, and identification of opportunities associated with the deployment of distributed research programs to generate the knowledge, data, and models for improved flood prediction, mitigation, and increased community resilience. The majority of NSF funds will support participation at the conference for U.S.-based graduate students and young professionals (i.e., postdoctoral scholars), with strong preference for underrepresented minorities. The number of participants to be supported is an estimated 15 traveling students and 35 local students. Bringing more graduate students and young investigators to ICFM8 will allow them to network with peers and future employers and to learn about available careers. A key impact of this conference will be the high level of knowledge transfer and dissemination accomplished during the event and into the future. Participating students and young investigators will gain enhanced scientific and educational benefits through their attendance.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.

第八届国际洪水管理会议（ICFM8）是一项针对洪水的国际活动，吸引了学术科学家，研究人员，从业人员，教育工作者和参与减少洪水的公职人员。该会议将于2020年8月17日至19日在爱荷华城举行。 ICFM8可能会吸引大约400名参与者，包括创纪录的年轻科学家和从业者，他们将面对洪水不断扩大社会经济威胁。会议的主要成果将包括有关洪水危害的指南，基于“自然”和人造方法的缓解解决方案，以及与分布式研究计划部署相关的机会，以生成知识，数据和模型，以改善洪水预测，缓解，缓解和提高社区弹性。大多数NSF资金将支持参加美国研究生和年轻专业人士（即博士后学者）的会议，并强烈偏爱代表性不足的少数民族。受支持的参与者人数估计有15名旅行学生和35名本地学生。将更多的研究生和年轻调查员带​​到ICFM8将使他们与同行和未来的雇主建立联系，并了解可用的职业。这次会议的关键影响将是在活动期间和未来完成的高水平的知识转移和传播。参与的学生和年轻的调查人员将通过出席获得增强的科学和教育福利。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
