<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A User Requirements Workshop for DesignSafe, the cyberinfrastructure (CI) for NHERI is being planned for January 11-12, 2016 in Austin, Texas. The main goal of the User Requirements Workshop is to bring together researchers from the natural
hazards engineering community to inform the CI development process. This workshop is an important part of this process because it will help ensure that the functionalities provided by the CI will enable the next generation of research focused on engineering
against the natural hazards of earthquakes and windstorms. In addition to the workshop, we are planning pre-workshop webinars for the workshop attendees that will present details about our vision for the CI, explain the CI development process, and provide
background about the workshop. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a NHERI EF we plan to integrate your requirements through direct collaboration with you, but you are also invited to send a representative to the User Requirements Workshop using funding from your NHERI grant. If you plan to participate
in the workshop, please RSVP by sending an email to <span style="color:#1F497D">
<a href="mailto:rsvp@designsafe-ci.org">rsvp@designsafe-ci.org</a>.</span> If you are able to attend the workshop, in your email please also confirm your attendance at one of the webinars listed below. More information about the Workshop and Webinars will
follow.<o:p></o:p></p>
