[CEUS-earthquake-hazards] Risk Prediction Initiative Requests for Proposals

[Mark Guishard]

Good day all,

On behalf of the Risk Prediction Initiative (RPI2.0) I am pleased to invite proposals for funded research projects. Please upload them here: http://rpi.bios.edu/proposal_upload/upload .

Read on for more details.
RPI2.0 funds academic research relevant to the insurance and reinsurance industries and assists in translating your research into usable and actionable items for our member companies. Through sponsoring targeted research we offer our members unique access to scientific knowledge aimed at answering business-relevant questions. By stimulating and supporting high-level research on tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, severe convective events, and seismic events, we help you to increase the benefit of your research by turning scientific results into applications widely used in the (re)insurance industry. Specifically, the focus is towards results which yield data sets, code or vulnerability functions for catastrophe modeling.
RPI2.0 members will have access to the results of funded projects prior to their published dates, allowing sponsors to benefit from this information in advance of their competitors.
Proposals are reviewed by our Members and judged democratically on their merits, relevance and applicability to the science questions within the industry. We have developed some ideas of interest to RPI2.0, which are outlined in Requests for Proposal (note, these RFPs are not intended to be an exhaustive list of relevant research; if you have an idea or existing research project which could be of benefit, please submit a proposal). Please see our Requests for Proposal and upload your proposal here<http://rpi.bios.edu/proposal_upload/upload>:
