webinar.
After Webinar, please email questions to any of
the six Program Directors listed in the
solicitation.

CRISP Program Goals
• Foster interdisciplinary research community;
• Enhance understanding/design of ICIs and processes under
disruptions from any cause;
• Develop integrative frameworks to understand
interdependencies
• Study socioeconomic, cultural, political, legal, psychological,
and other obstacles to improving ICIs and identify strategies
for overcoming obstacles
• Support creation, curation, and use of publicly accessible
data
7
Proposal Review Criteria
8
• Intellectual Merit
• Broader Impacts
• Integrates by incorporating knowledge from
both engineering and SBE sciences
• Interdisciplinarity is reflected in the PIs and
the research plan
• Advances integration in order to improve
design, operation, and maintenance of ICIs.
9
Critical Infrastructures
A mainstay of national economy, security
and well-being.
• A collection of components (e.g. a fire house,
a human operator, an information display)…
• But also an ecosystem of those components--
interconnected and interdependent---
• Organized in processes that deliver services
to meet societal needs and desires.

Critical Infrastructures are…
• Evolving, as new technologies come on-line;
• Often deteriorating, as physical components age;
• Often operating at or near design limits;
• Interdependent, in that they require each other’s
services or if the processes by which they deliver
services can be affected by each other;
• Subject to a variety of risks and hazards over various
spatial and temporal scales; and
• Producing and consuming an ever-broader range and
volume of data.
11
I. What is New in CRISP 2.0
• Two PIs must be from SBE and ENG
– More than two PIs is fine
– PIs from outside ENG and SBE are fine
• Maximum award is $2.0M
• Type 1 awards are smaller-scale research
projects
• Context statement is required
– Name the two interdependent infrastructures
– Identify the SBE scientist and the engineer12
II: What is New in CRISP 2.0
• Broader definition of infrastructure
interdependency
• Changed eligibility eliminations:
– Cannot serve on more than one proposal in
senior role
– Cannot serve in a senior role if already has a
senior role on a CRISP or RIPS active award of
the same type
13
Interdependent infrastructuresTwo or more infrastructures are said to be
interdependent if they require each other’s services or if
the processes by which they deliver services can be
affected by each other.
Some examples:
• symmetric bi-directional dependence;
• asymmetric bi-directional dependence;
• service or process dependence coupled with longer-
term feedback loops; and
• direct and indirect dependencies involving more than
two infrastructures.14
Tips
• Integrate
• Read the solicitation more than once
• Read the FAQs
• Email CRISP 2.0 management team
members with specific questions
• Improving resilience may or may not involve a
disaster-specific perspective
