Despite significant technological advances in modeling and simulating natural hazard impacts on society, disaster resilience is, at its heart, a matter of human resilience. Thus, while engineers and social scientists have each made important strides in their respective fields, reducing the impacts of disasters on communities will ultimately require that researchers begin working across disciplines, not only within nations but across nations. Noting in particular the considerable investments made by the US and Japan to study and ultimately mitigate the impact of disasters in their respective countries, an important first step in fostering such cross-disciplinary and cross-national collaborations in disaster research can be achieved by bringing together the research communities cultivated by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and US National Science Foundation (NSF). In response, the US-Japan Workshop on Needs, Priorities and Partnerships to Advance Human-Centered Data for Resilience will virtually convene these communities over multiple days with the primary goal of identifying opportunities where US-Japan collaborations can uniquely advance a more human-centered approach to research on disaster resilience. A series of one-page briefings will be developed based on workshop learnings (published in English and Japanese) to offer a concise roadmap for possible future joint JST and NSF research opportunities. Ultimately, this roadmap and the interactions between participants will drive new lines of research and collaboration intended to reduce the risk of future disasters in both the US and Japan.This interdisciplinary workshop is intentionally designed to incubate future US-Japanese collaborations by exploring important questions such as: (1) How can the human dimensions of disaster impacts be more accurately captured and represented in the analysis, modeling and simulation of disasters?, (2) What type of data and supporting research infrastructure would be necessary to enable novel, transdisciplinary approaches to answering these and other human-centered disaster questions?, and (3) In what ways can US-Japan collaborations advance these questions in new and important ways? The online activities strategically blend asynchronous and synchronous convening mechanisms to navigate time zone differences, accommodating different communication/problem solving styles and levels of language proficiency by providing multiple mechanisms to engage during real-time discussions. The hybrid model further uses Position Papers, submitted in advance, to pre-populate workshop discussions and offer those who come forward with bold ideas a larger platform for sharing their ideas through plenary-style Lightning Talks and Rapid Panels. The workshop’s live sessions will use interactive Miro boards in breakout room discussions to systematically establish the important link between compelling research questions/opportunities and underlying research infrastructure/data needs, subsequently mapping strengths, assets and opportunities for novel US-Japanese partnerships in response to these needs. The hybrid approach of preparatory asynchronous activities and well-structured synchronous activities increases the likelihood of discovering concrete recommendations for future collaborative efforts between the two countries.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.

尽管在建模和模拟自然灾害对社会的影响方面取得了重大技术进步，但抗灾能力的核心是人类的抗灾能力。因此，工程师和社会科学家在各自领域取得了重要进展，减少了灾害的影响。对社区的研究最终将要求研究人员开始跨学科工作，不仅是在国家内部，而且是在国家之间进行工作，特别是美国和日本为研究并最终减轻灾害对各自国家的影响进行了大量投资，这是重要的第一步。在培养这种跨学科和通过将日本科学技术振兴机构 (JST) 和美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 培育的研究团体聚集在一起，可以实现灾害研究方面的跨国合作。推进以人为本的抗灾数据将在几天内召集这些社区，其主要目标是确定美日合作可以独特地推进更加以人为本的抗灾研究方法的机会一系列单页简报。将根据研讨会的学习成果（以英语和日语发布）为基础，为 JST 和 NSF 未来可能的联合研究机会提供简明的路线图，最终，该路线图和参与者之间的互动将推动新的研究和合作，旨在减少该跨学科研讨会旨在通过探讨以下重要问题来孵化未来的美日合作：(1) 如何在灾害影响中更准确地捕捉和体现人类层面的灾害影响分析、建模和灾难模拟？（2）需要什么类型的数据和支持研究基础设施才能采用新颖的跨学科方法来回答这些和其他以人为中心的灾难问题？（3）美日合作可以通过哪些方式推进这些问题以新的、重要的方式进行？在线活动战略性地融合了异步和同步召集机制，以应对时区差异，通过提供多种参与实时讨论的机制来适应不同的沟通/问题解决方式和语言熟练程度。混合模式进一步使用提前提交的立场文件来预先填充研讨会讨论，并为那些提出大胆想法的人提供一个更大的平台，通过全体会议式的闪电演讲和快速小组讨论来分享他们的想法。交互式 Miro 董事会在分组讨论中系统地建立引人注目的研究问题/机会与基础研究基础设施/数据需求之间的重要联系，随后映射新的美日伙伴关系的优势、资产和机会，以应对这些需求。预备异步活动和结构良好的同步活动增加了为两国之间未来合作努力发现具体建议的可能性。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
