项目摘要

Drinking water and public health systems are some of the most critical infrastructures that support human well-being. This Critical Resilient Interdependent Infrastructure Systems and Processes (CRISP) project will provide new insights about how these systems interact with each other and adapt to challenges. The project will also investigate how the public learns about and engages with public health and water systems. The focus will be to assess how a range of disruptions, from routine challenges to large-scale disasters, alter public interactions with these systems. Study data will include interviews with subject matter experts from water utilities and public health agencies. It will also include a national survey to understand how well these US infrastructures can adapt to future challenges. Information gained from project partners and the national survey will be used to identify factors and develop models that can be used to enhance resilience of both systems. This project will develop approaches that can be used to promote access to cleaner, safer drinking water for all communities, including the socially and economically disadvantaged ones. It will serve the national interest by identifying approaches that can be used to improve management for, and communication methods between, water and public health systems, thereby improving the health, prosperity and welfare of communities. Collaborations with the Water Research Foundation (WRF), National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), American Indian Mothers, Inc. and others, will assist in translating research results to new practices and policies that reduce the burden of disease in vulnerable populations. The project will also provide training to students, including underrepresented minorities, in STEM.The research will make theoretical contributions in two primary areas. First, it will build upon organizational learning theory as it is manifest from risks, hazard and disruptions in water events and ground this within systems theory and organizational sense-making. Outcomes include new norms, procedures, structures, capacity and technology designed to promote higher reliability and resilience. This will include describing the ways risk, hazards and failures impact public policy agendas and policy learning outcomes. Second, this research will contribute to theoretical work on resilience in critical infrastructure by connecting the social, managerial, and technical frameworks as manifest around water events. Emerging risks with unknown impact include shrinking cities, decaying infrastructure and persistent under-funding. Transformative aspects of the project include creating theoretical models that describe how the relationship of communities to these coupled interdependent systems shapes organizational learning from disruptions, and in turn enacting changes that enhance resilience.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.

饮用水和公共卫生系统是支持人类福祉的一些最关键的基础设施。这个关键的弹性相互依存的基础架构系统和流程（CRISP）项目将提供有关这些系统如何相互作用并适应挑战的新见解。该项目还将调查公众如何学习并参与公共卫生和水系统。重点是评估从常规挑战到大规模灾难，改变与这些系统的公众互动的一系列破坏。研究数据将包括对来自水电图和公共卫生机构的主题专家的访谈。它还将包括一项全国调查，以了解这些美国基础设施如何适应未来的挑战。从项目合作伙伴那里获得的信息和全国调查将用于确定可用于增强两个系统弹性的因素和模型。该项目将开发可用于促进所有社区（包括社会和经济弱势群体）的清洁，更安全的饮用水的方法。它将通过确定可用于改善水和公共卫生系统之间的管理和交流方法的方法来满足国家利益，从而改善社区的健康，繁荣和福利。与水研究基金会（WRF），全国县与城市卫生官员协会（NACCHO），美洲印第安人公司等与其他人的合作，将有助于将研究结果转化为减少弱势群体疾病负担的新实践和政策。该项目还将为包括代表性不足的少数民族在内的学生提供培训。该研究将在两个主要领域做出理论贡献。首先，它将以组织学习理论为基础，因为它源于水上事件中的风险，危害和破坏，并在系统理论和组织感知中扎根。结果包括新的规范，程序，结构，能力和技术，旨在促进更高的可靠性和弹性。这将包括描述风险，危害和失败的方式影响公共政策议程和政策学习成果。其次，这项研究将通过将社会，管理和技术框架连接为围绕水事件的社会，管理和技术框架，从而为关键基础设施的韧性做出贡献。影响不明的新兴风险包括缩小城市，腐烂的基础设施和持续的资金不足。该项目的变革性方面包括创建理论模型，以描述社区与这些耦合相互依存的系统的关系如何从中断中塑造组织学习，进而构成更改的变化，从而增强弹性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识优点和广泛的攻击来评估，以评估有价值。
