NSF NHERI Wall of Wind User Workshop, Nov 3

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

The NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility is hosting a one-day
user workshop at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, on Nov.
3. Register on the DesignSafe site
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/workshop-171103/>.

The focus of the workshop is to:

   1. Provide researchers with information on the capabilities of the NHERI
   WOW EF for advanced natural hazard engineering research
   2. Explore opportunities to use the NHERI WOW EF for unsolicited,
   CAREER, and other types of NSF proposals *(one session will be dedicated
   to CAREER proposal writing)*
   3. Detail the procedures to perform large- and full-scale experiments
   (including aerodynamic, aeroelastic, destructive, and wind-driven rain
   tests)
   4. Discuss the Science Plan focusing on Key Research areas emerging in
   natural hazard engineering
   5. Provide a platform for collaboration to facilitate
   multi-disciplinary, multi-hazards research

This onsite workshop will provide faculty members with valuable information
about the resources and services available at the NHERI WOW EF, and how to
better engage the EF for obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards
mitigation research. Also, the workshop will include a tour of the facility
and a live test demonstration.

Participation and financial support for travel will be limited and priority
will be given to faculty planning to submit NSF proposals that intend to
use the NHERI WOW EF. Financial support will be awarded in order of
registration.

Please register for the workshop on the DesignSafe site
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/workshop-171103/>.

We look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming workshop. If you have any
questions, contact Dr. Maryam Refan at mrefan at fiu.edu.
