2. Issues Interface strategies Needed resources
Collaboration opportunities

3. NGA A PEER Lifelines project, not SCEC – there is some confusion
Partnership between PEER Lifelines, SCEC, USGS
Researchers are individuals, some with multiple hats

4. Funding Processes SCEC PEER-Lifelines
Research agenda discussed in September at annual meeting
RFP is out
Proposals due 11/17
Review by planning committee
PEER-Lifelines
Project & outcome-specific funding
No set deadline
SCEC collaborations could approach PEER for funding, but too late for this year

5. Index Building Concept
Standard set of model structures (real or hypothetical
Could be useful in collaborative efforts & for dissemination of hazard/risk info
PEER testbeds (2 buildings/2 bridges) could be examples
An idea for a collaborative proposal?
NSF/ITR
USGS

6. ANSS ANSS is a possible area for collaboration
40% of funding is earmarked for building instrumentation
USGS is now defining priorities
ANSS-instrumented buildings may become “index buildings”

7. Other issues Basin modeling Collaboration with MAE & MCEER
How to pair individual earth science-earthquake engineer researchers?
