<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We are preparing for a conference that was funded by NSF(#1939915) under the Coastlines and People (CoPE) competition. The conference is scheduled for
<b><u>February 27-28, 2020</u></b> at East Carolina University is titled <b><i>HurriCon: Science at the Intersection of Hurricanes and the Populated Coast.
</i></b>We used the insights and recommendations from a recent National Academies Report pertaining to the Gulf Coast to motivate the conference format. The report stated that the future research agenda can be most successful if it “Supports collaborative,
multidisciplinary research teams." Further, “Turning research products into actionable policies for a more resilient future (coast) entails effective communication between stakeholders and scientists.” (NASEM, 2018)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We would like to see strong representation of interdisciplinary research on hurricane hazards as well as high quality disciplinary research from engineering, the physical sciences
and the social sciences. It is our goal to provide a venue for sharing leading edge knowledge from a broad range of approaches to understanding hurricanes, their impacts, and modes of measuring resilience and recovery.

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">In our call for abstracts we targeted NSF RAPID grant awards pertaining to recent hurricanes. We expect the attendance to be 200 participants from coast to coast and border to border..
Since all grant recipients are expected/required to make their data available as per their data management plan,
<u>it occurred to me that this conference would be a great venue to make grant recipients aware of designsafe and its capability to archive and make datasets available to a wide audience.

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Would a representative of designsafe be willing to provide a presentation during the conference to familiarize these grant recipients with designsafe and its data publishing capabilities?
