A range of disasters -- including flood, hurricane, typhons, violent storms, earthquakes, collapsed infrastructure, and pandemic -- pose the greatest threat to the poor and most vulnerable in society as they are more likely to live in homes that are more vulnerable to the impact of these disasters. Reliance on ‘hard’ engineering and infrastructure solutions alone cannot solve this problem. This Boosting Research Ideas for Transformative and Equitable Advances in Engineering (BRITE) project aims to integrate findings from past research with findings from a series of multi-level stakeholder engagement activities into a framework that integrates the roles of human, social and natural capital in reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience. The aim is to identify viable pathways for improved resilience for particularly vulnerable, low-income housing communities. The research activities are designed to address resilience to multiple disaster events and types, and to focus characteristics of subgroups within the target population: low-income housing residents. Through a multi-level, stakeholder case study approach that draws lessons from the experiences of vulnerable populations, sources and determinants of resilience will be examined. A sensitivity analysis will be performed to identify plausibility indicators for what is and what is not likely to support the resilience of low-income housing to specific sets of shocks.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.

一系列灾害——包括洪水、飓风、台风、猛烈风暴、地震、基础设施倒塌和流行病——对社会中的穷人和最弱势群体构成最大威胁，因为他们更有可能生活在更脆弱的家庭中仅依靠“硬”工程和基础设施解决方案无法解决这个问题。“促进工程变革和公平进步的研究理念”(BRITE) 项目旨在将过去的研究结果与一系列研究结果相结合。研究活动将多层次利益相关者参与活动纳入一个框架，将人力、社会和自然资本在减少脆弱性和增强复原力方面的作用结合起来。旨在解决多种灾害事件和类型的抵御能力，并通过多层次、利益相关者案例研究方法，从弱势群体、来源中汲取经验教训，重点关注目标人群中的亚群体特征：低收入住房居民。将审查弹性的决定因素。旨在确定哪些合理指标能够支持低收入住房抵御特定冲击的能力，哪些不可能。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和能力进行评估，被认为值得支持。更广泛的影响审查标准。
