*UPDATE: Registration deadline extended to Friday, May 3*

We are pleased to announce a Joint University of Florida and University of
Washington NSF NHERI Workshop. The one-and-one-half day workshop takes
place May 23rd (full day) and 24th (morning) at the NHERI Experimental
Facility at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL.

the NHERI cyberinfrastructure.

The Powell Family Structures and Materials Laboratory at the University of
Florida is among the seven designated shared-use Experimental Facilities
under NSF’s Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI)
program.

The UF NHERI EF is primarily dedicated to studying extreme wind events and
offers a suite of experimental apparatus for wind load quantification,
system response and destructive testing. The University of Washington hosts
the post-disaster RAPID response facility, providing investigators with
equipment, software and support services needed to collect, process and
analyze perishable data from natural hazards events. Details of these
facilities as well as an overview of the NSF NHERI program can be found at
the DesignSafe website <https://www.designsafe-ci.org>.

The goal of the workshop
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/training/workshops/joint-uf-uw-2019-workshop/>
is to promote the singular and coordinated use of the UW RAPID and UF EF.
The interactive workshop includes a UF EF tour and RAPID equipment
demonstration. There will be hands-on training in the capabilities and
services offered by the UF and UW facilities -- as well as training in the
process for obtaining NSF funding for EF and RAPID use. The workshop
provides opportunities for attendees to network with fellow researchers and
initiate proposals on-site. We will cover participant domestic travel and
two nights of lodging expenses. The number of participants is budget
limited.

*Please complete the brief application
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/training/workshops/joint-uf-uw-2019-workshop/>
by Friday, May 3. Priority will be given to faculty who intend to submit
NSF proposals that utilize the UF EF and/or the UW RAPID. *
