The NHERI Summer Institute will be held on July 24-28, 2017 at University of Texas in San Antonio (UTSA) for K-12 educators, engineers, and researchers who want to learn more about the Natural Hazards Engineering Research (NHERI) community. Participants will learn about:
- The mission of the NHERI program
- Writing a grant proposal through grant writing & design workshops
- Requesting research resources within the NHERI network
- The NHERI Science Plan
- Computational research and data management through hands-on participation
All participants—early career professionals and faculty, K-12 educators and administrators, and established professionals and faculty—are welcome to attend.
Preliminary schedule of events:
- Day 1: Proposal and grant writing workshops
- Assessments and evaluation
- Day 2: NHERI Science Plan
- Computational research and data management sites
- Networking event
- Day 3: Experimental research sites
- Day 4: Applications and experimentation using NHERI equipment and data
- Day 5: Educational and community outreach design
The grant covers travel expenses for a limited number of early career faculty members (i.e., non-tenured professors) and early career professionals. Local K-12 educators will also receive a stipend for participating. Unfortunately, the NHERI Summer Institute cannot sponsor international travel assistance at this time.
