NHERI Network Coordination Office
NHERI-wide ECO Committee
NHERIs Network Coordination Office administers the NHERI-wide Education and Community Outreach Committee. This group is composed of representatives from all of the NHERI awardees.
The roles of this network-wide committee include strategically planning and executing NHERIs Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program and the NHERI Summer Institute, collecting and disseminating research and education in progress to the larger natural hazards community, and providing connections between research and education to K-12, community college, and practicing communities.
Each awardee in the NHERI network also maintains its own ECO committee that governs education and outreach activities at that facility.
ECO Committee Membership
The NHERI-wide ECO Committee members are selected from each NHERI awardee site. Members serve for at least two years with a one-year transitional period. Appointed members can substitute at ECO Committee meetings when the NHERI ECO Committee member cannot attend. All ECO Committee members participate in the selection of REU and Summer Institute participants.
