Environmental engineering and science is a highly diverse field that uses knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology to help protect human and ecological health. Many environmental engineers and scientists are doing research on COVID-19 to better understand of how to control the spread of the disease, as well as providing safe food and drinking water. The goal of this project is to hold a series of virtual meetings over six weeks bringing together researchers to discuss their work on COVID-19 in an integrated manner. They will also explore how inequities influence the outcomes and impact of their work. Benefits to society resulting from this work result from open source learning materials that show how different environments link to each other during the pandemic, and how to address inequities in society to come up with better solutions for sustainable communities. This meeting will feature a diverse representation of environmental engineering and science researchers. To maximize impact, the meeting will be open to anyone in the world, and all recordings will be shared on websites and over social media.The goal of this project is to host a series of meetings bringing together researchers from environmental engineering and science and related fields to share knowledge and discuss interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary linkages as they relate to COVID-19 and the need for developing more healthy, just, and equitable societies. The themes for the proposed sessions will align COVID-19 and the Grand Challenges for Environmental Engineering in the 21st Century as outlined in the National Academies of Sciences Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) study which include: (1) sustainably supplying food, energy, and water, (2) creating efficient, healthy, and resilient cities, (3) designing a future without pollution and waste, (4) climate change mitigation and adaptation, and (5) fostering informed decisions and actions. The meeting presents a new model of participation in a combined asynchronous and synchronous multimedia online learning environment. Presenters will be selected to reflect the diversity of the Nation, with particular effort made to recruit presenters who are currently underrepresented in STEM. Early career post-doctoral researchers and assistant professors will be presenters and session chairs to foster career development. Participants will be encouraged to register for the certificate portion of the meeting which requires the successful completion of six quizzes related to each session. A manuscript based on the meeting will be submitted to the journal of Environmental Engineering and Science to share best practices for virtual format for meetings and the convergence of environmental engineering and science through COVID-19.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.

环境工程和科学是一个高度多样的领域，它使用物理，化学和生物学知识来帮助保护人类和生态健康。许多环境工程师和科学家正在对Covid-19进行研究，以更好地了解如何控制疾病的传播以及提供安全的食物和饮用水。该项目的目的是在六个星期内举行一系列虚拟会议，将研究人员聚集在一起，以整合的方式讨论他们在Covid-19的工作。他们还将探讨不平等如何影响其工作的结果和影响。开源学习材料造成的对社会的好处表明，大流行期间不同的环境如何相互联系，以及如何解决社会上的不平等，以为可持续社区提供更好的解决方案。这次会议将以环境工程和科学研究人员的不同代表。 为了最大程度地发挥影响力，会议将向世界上的任何人开放，所有录音将在网站和社交媒体上共享。该项目的目的是举办一系列会议，将环境工程和科学及相关的研究人员聚集在一起在与Covid-19的有关的领域分享知识并讨论跨学科和跨学科的联系以及发展更健康，公正和公平的社会的需求。 拟议的会议的主题将使19日的Covid-19和21世纪环境工程的巨大挑战，如美国国家科学工程学院和医学学院（NASEM）研究中所述，其中包括：（1）可持续提供食品，能源，能源，能源，能源， （2）创造高效，健康且有弹性的城市，（3）在没有污染和浪费的情况下设计未来，（4）气候变化缓解和适应，以及（5）促进知情的决策和行动。会议提出了一个新的参与模式，其中包括异步和同步的多媒体在线学习环境。主持人将被选中以反映国家的多样性，并特别努力招募目前在STEM中代表不足的演示者。早期的职业生涯后研究人员和助理教授将担任主持人和会议主持人，以促进职业发展。将鼓励参与者注册会议的证书部分，这需要成功完成与每个会议相关的六个测验。基于会议的手稿将提交《环境工程和科学杂志》，以分享会议的虚拟格式的最佳实践，并通过COVID-119进行环境工程和科学的融合。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得的任务通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持。
