Extreme heat is an urgent threat to global health and prosperity. Growing challenges around heat exposure require enhanced adaptive capacity, monitoring, and cross-disciplinary training to minimize risks. Heat adaptation involves behavior, infrastructure, technology, and physiologic changes to protect people from heat, reduce vulnerability, and improve well-being to prosper and thrive in an increasingly warming world. However, fundamental knowledge gaps exist surrounding 1) types of heat adaptation that are essential for health and safety and 2) transdisciplinary training and education. This Global Centers Design award on heat adaptation and will lay the foundations for a future Global Center that will strengthen society's ability to manage and adapt to extreme heat and train the next generation of transdisciplinary researchers and practitioners. Data will be collected using the HeatSuite, a remote platform gathering information on heat exposure and behavioral and physiological changes during everyday activities. A week-long Global School on Heat Adaptation will engage students, researchers, and stakeholders in experiential learning and cross-disciplinary teaching. This project addresses the goals of the Global Centers Program by working internationally, including in understudied regions, and weaving together diverse expertise––from atmospheric science, social and behavioral sciences, and thermal physiology to data sciences and engineering. Use-inspired research will produce real-world solutions to yield sustainable, effective cooling practices supporting clean energy in a changing climate. Broader impacts are expected to improve the well-being of heat-vulnerable people by empowering communities, healthcare practitioners, government officials, and tomorrow's academics with new knowledge of heat adaptation strategies. To strengthen society's ability to manage and adapt to extreme heat across countries, climates, and cultures, this project will 1) coordinate and integrate knowledge across disciplines, sectors, and communities, 2) create the first Global School on Heat Adaptation, and 3) launch a pilot field study in five global locations to monitor heat exposure and adaptive strategies, including behavior change, social capital, and physiological responses. Data will be gathered through the HeatSuite remote data acquisition platform, a scalable, comprehensive, cutting-edge tool with cloud infrastructure and complete data governance. The project’s scientific contributions include 1) developing heat adaptation concepts and frameworks arising from disparate disciplines based on transdisciplinary collaboration (beyond academia) and ecologically valid data and 2) an innovative, economical, and scalable approach (HeatSuite) to remotely observe natural behavioral and physiological responses in vulnerable populations during extreme heat. The contributions will resolve underlying mechanisms that drive heat risk and vulnerability, behavior, and adaptations that can interrupt the causal pathways that lead to illness, death, and other adverse outcomes.This award is funded by the Global Centers program, an innovative program that supports use-inspired research addressing global challenges related to climate change and/or clean energy. Track 2 design awards support U.S.-based researchers to bring together international teams to develop research questions and partnerships, conduct landscape analyses, synthesize data, and/or build multi-stakeholder networks to advance their use-inspired research at larger scale in the future.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.

极热是对全球健康和繁荣的紧迫威胁。在热量暴露周围的挑战日益增长的挑战需要提高适应能力，监测和跨学科培训，以最大程度地降低风险。热适应涉及行为，基础设施，技术和生理变化，以保护人们免受热量的影响，减少脆弱性，并改善在日益变暖的世界中繁荣和繁荣的幸福感。但是，围绕1）对健康和安全至关重要的热适应类型以及2）跨学科培训和教育的基本知识差距。这个全球适应的全球设计奖，将为未来的全球中心奠定基础，该中心将增强社会管理和适应极端热量并训练下一代的跨学科研究人员和从业者的能力。将使用Heatsuite（一个远程平台收集有关热量暴露，行为和物理变化的远程平台，收集数据。为期一周的热适应全球学校将吸引学生，研究人员和利益相关者参与专家学习和跨学科教学。该项目通过在国际上（包括在知识的地区）工作来解决全球中心计划的目标，并共同编织潜水员的专业知识 - 从大气科学，社会和行为科学以及热生理学到数据科学和工程学。使用启发的研究将产生现实世界的解决方案，以产生可持续的，有效的冷却实践，支持在不断变化的气候下清洁能源。预计，通过增强社区，医疗保健实践者，政府官员以及明天的学者的能力，预计更广泛的影响将改善可供热人员的福祉。为了增强社会管理和适应各个国家，气候和文化的极端热量的能力，该项目将1）跨学科，部门和社区跨学科的知识进行协调和综合知识，2）创建第一个有关热适应的全球学校，以及3）在五个全球地点进行飞行员现场研究，以监控热情曝光和适应性策略，包括行为改变，包括社交资本，社交资本和身体上的质疑。数据将通过Heatsuite Remote数据采集平台收集，这是一种具有云基础架构和完整数据治理的可扩展，全面，尖端的工具。该项目的科学贡献包括1）基于跨学科协作（超越学术界）和生态有效的数据以及2）在极端热量期间易于观察的自然行为和物理响应，开发由基于跨学科协作（超越学术界）和生态有效的数据而产生的较高的良好概念和框架。这些贡献将解决促进热风险和脆弱性，行为和适应的潜在机制，这些机制可以中断导致疾病，死亡和其他不良后果的因果途径。该奖项由全球中心计划（一项支持与气候变化和/清洁能源相关的全球挑战的创新计划）全球中心计划资助。 Track 2 design awards support U.S.-based researchers to bring Together international teams to develop research questions and partnerships, conduct landscape analyses, synthesize data, and/or build multi-stakeholder networks to advance their use-inspired research at larger scale in the future.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed precious of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
