The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU, in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR), and WGSC, is providing funding for a CESU partner to evaluate the HayWired scenario. The evaluation aims to assess project objectives’ achievement, focusing on measurable outcomes within budget constraints. The evaluator will define evaluation criteria, propose data collection methods, and document findings in reports and presentations. This grant seeks to analyze the user community’s engagement with the project’s objectives related to earthquake risk reduction. The evaluation results will inform future strategies for applying science effectively and enhancing outreach efforts in similar projects.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) and WGSC is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for an evaluation of the HayWired scenario. The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure that the project has measurable objectives and remains focused on fulfilling the objectives. The awardee will systematically evaluate the attainment of a few selected project objectives because it will not be possible to evaluate all objectives within budget constraints. The evaluator will supply criteria for evaluating objectives, propose a range of data collection approaches, and the capacity for evaluations that are documented in reports and/or powerpoint formats. The evaluation will determine how broadly the objectives were applied by the targeted user community in terms of increased awareness, knowledge and actions taken towards reducing risk associated with large earthquakes. The proposed work will obtain information that provides feedback on HayWired scenario science and outreach to WGSC and SAFRR, as well as results to help determine which strategies are most likely to be effective in long-term efforts to innovate the application of science and transferable to other settings in future projects. |
