Seismic Structural Engineering Research Sponsored by NSF - Beyond Earthquake Engineering Centers
Publication: Structures 2001: A Structural Engineering Odyssey
Abstract
Earthquake engineering research at NSF is authorized by Congress through the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP). NEHRP supports earthquake related programs at FEMA, USGS, NIST, and NSF. NSF's annual budget for NEHRP-related research is approximately $29 million, of which $11 million is invested through the Geoscience Directorate (GEO), and $18 million through the Civil and Mechanical (CMS) Systems Division of the Directorate for Engineering (ENG). In addition to these funds, monies are appropriated separately to fund the Major Research Equipment project - the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation, NEES. The NEES project is also administered through the Civil and Mechanical (CMS) Systems Division.
