Pilot Projects

The Pilot Projects funded through this center will address those critical earthquake science questions with strong social impact and community engagement plans. These Pilot Projects will establish mechanisms for increasing partnership and evaluation of the proposals. They will serve as case studies as we develop our strategic plan for out to structure the center.
