The NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) awards, originally funded under the NSF 14-605 and NSF 15-598 program solicitations, will end on September 30, 2025. These awards, forming the NSF-supported NHERI mid-scale facility, have provided the natural hazards engineering (NHE) community with experimental, field, cyberinfrastructure, high performance computing, and computational modeling and simulation resources to conduct NHE research. This award, to Nexight Group LLC, will examine the influence of evolving natural hazards engineering (NHE) research, the national research infrastructure landscape, emerging technologies for resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure, state of climate change, and other driving forces on future NHE research directions, and will identify the research infrastructure (i.e., experimental and field equipment, instrumentation, and new experimental techniques and capabilities), cyberinfrastructure, and computational modeling and simulation tools needed to conduct future NHE research over the next decade, i.e., from fiscal year (FY) 2026-FY 2035. This study will review the state of natural hazards knowledge in the current and emerging areas of NHE research and research infrastructure and will generate recommendations for a comprehensive vision and strategy for the next decade of transformative science and engineering research and supporting research infrastructure at the frontiers of civil engineering, computational and data sciences, infrastructure materials, extreme natural hazard events, and other emerging fields. The study will also examine new modes of access to physical- and cyber-facilities by the NHE research community, and how these facilities can support education, outreach, and pathways for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The study can serve as input to NSF for designing research and research infrastructure program support during FY 2026-FY 2035 and will define and align NHE research to advance fundamental scientific knowledge in providing the nation with resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure under extreme event conditions. This award will contribute to NSF's roles in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) and the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program (NWIRP). This award will gather input from the broad NHE and other related research communities to develop a Decadal Visioning (DV) Framework (FY 2026-FY 2035) for Grand Challenges research, research infrastructure, education, and outreach needs to advance the sustainability and resilience of the nation's civil infrastructure to natural hazard events. The key elements of this project comprise four main tasks: (i) conduct a preliminary assessment of the science drivers and current state of NHE research and research infrastructure by establishing a Task Group from the relevant NHE communities; define the vision, scope, and goals of the DV; and gather preliminary findings for the research agenda and research infrastructure needs; (ii) engage stakeholders to gather expert insights for organizing community-focused virtual workshops and coordinate review teams for developing the DV Framework; (iii) plan and facilitate collaborative community workshops to identify and prioritize the Framework’s key science drivers (i.e., Grand Challenges), research infrastructure, education, and outreach needs; and (iv) develop the DV Framework, including key graphical concepts and final briefing materials to communicate the findings of the final DV report. The DV Framework report will be archived and made publicly available in the NHERI Data Depot (https://www.DesignSafe-ci.org).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.

The NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) awards, originally funded under the NSF 14-605 and NSF 15-598 program solicitations, will end on September 30, 2025. These awards, forming the NSF-supported NHERI mid-scale facility, have provided the natural hazards engineering (NHE) community with experimental, field,网络基础结构，高性能计算以及计算建模和模拟资源进行NHE研究。该奖项将授予下一个LLC，将研究不断发展的自然危害工程（NHE）研究，国家研究基础设施格局，新兴技术，新兴的技术技术，气候变化状况，气候变化状况以及其他对未来的研究方向的驱动力，并将确定研究基础工具（I.E. E.E. ESERIXICERINIQU，I.E.E.E.E. ESERIXICAB和现场设备），和实验室的设备和实验室设备，和实验室，并实现了实验性，和实验室，并将其驱动力，和研究方向，均为实验，和实验室，并实现了实验，并将其驱动力学，并将其驱动力，以及实验性的工具，和实验性的工具，和实验性的工具，和实验性的工具，和研究方向。网络基础设施以及计算建模和仿真工具需要在接下来的十年中进行未来的NHE研究，即从财政年度（FY）2026-Fy 2035进行。本研究将回顾NHE研究和研究基础结构的当前和新兴领域的自然危害知识状态，并将对NHE研究和研究的综合研究和策略进行综合研究，并将土木工程，计算和数据科学，基础设施材料，极端自然危害事件以及其他新兴领域的基础设施。该研究还将研究NHE研究社区获得物理和网络实力的新模式，以及这些设施如何支持教育，外展和途径的多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）。这项研究可以作为NSF的投入，以设计2026年至2035财年期间研究和研究基础设施计划的支持，并将定义和调整NHE研究，以提高基本科学知识，从而在极端事件下为国家提供富有弹性和可持续的民用基础设施。该奖项将有助于NSF在国家地震危害计划（NEHRP）和国家风暴影响减少计划（NWIRP）中的作用。该奖项将收集NHE和其他相关研究社区的意见，以开发衰老的愿景（DV）框架（2026-2财年2035财年），以挑战研究，研究基础设施，教育和外展，以提高国家对自然风险事件的民用基础设施的可持续性和弹性。该项目的关键要素包括四个主要任务：（i）通过从相关的NHE社区建立一个任务组，对科学驱动因素和现行研究和研究基础设施的现状进行初步评估；定义DV的愿景，范围和目标；并收集针对Agernda和研究基础设施需求的初步发现； （ii）让利益相关者收集专家见解，以组织社区注重的虚拟研讨会，并协调开发DV框架的评论团队； （iii）计划并促进合作社区研讨会，以识别和优先考虑该框架的关键科学驱动力（即盛大的挑战），研究基础设施，教育和外展需求； （iv）开发DV框架，包括关键的图形概念和最终简报材料，以传达最终DV报告的发现。 DV框架报告将在NHERI Data Depot（https://www.designsafe-ci.org）中进行存档，并公开提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，我们被认为是通过基金会的知识绩效和更广泛的影响审查审查的审查标准来通过评估来诚实的支持。
