*2019 WALL OF WIND*
*NHERI EXPERIMENTAL FACILITY USER WORKSHOP*
*JUNE 14, 2019 | MIAMI, FLORIDA*


The NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility is hosting a one-day
user workshop at Florida International University (FIU), in Miami, FL. 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 EF for unsolicited, CAREER,
   and other types of NSF proposals -- one session will be dedicated to
   “Preparing a Competitive NSF Proposals (including CAREER Proposals)”.
   3. Describe the procedures to perform large- and full-scale experiments
   using the NHERI WOW EF.
   4. Provide one-on-one sessions between EF’s team members and workshop
   participants to discuss research ideas and experimentation plans for NSF
   proposals
   5. Discuss the NHERI Science Plan focusing on key research areas
   emerging in natural hazard engineering

This onsite workshop will provide participants with valuable information
about the resources and services available at the NHERI WOW and how to
better engage the EF for obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards
mitigation research and other basic science research. The workshop also
will include a tour of the NHERI WOW EF and a demonstration of the EF
capabilities. 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 for attending the workshop
will be awarded
in order of registration (hotel and flight arrangements will be managed by
FIU up to $850 per individual).

We look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming workshop!
