The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU is offering a grant to a CESU partner to evaluate the HayWired scenario. The evaluation aims to ensure measurable objectives are met and focus is maintained on fulfilling them. The awardee will systematically assess selected project objectives due to budget constraints, providing criteria, data collection approaches, and documented evaluations. The evaluation seeks to gauge the application of objectives by the user community in promoting earthquake risk reduction. The project will offer insights on HayWired scenario science and outreach effectiveness for long-term innovation and transferability to future projects.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 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. |
