You were selected to participate in this study given your professional expertise. In this project you will answer questions and
generate individual concept maps that represent your understanding of relative trade-offs and synergies in designing for
resilience and sustainability.
Your responses will lead to greater clarity across these domains that are both critical to increasingly cost-effective strategies for
mitigating damage from extreme disturbances and persistent stresses, such as extreme weather events and continued climate
change impacts. In this study you will be asked questions about your background, field of expertise, and understanding of
resilience and sustainability concepts. Please know that there are no right or wrong answers to any of these questions, we just
want your experience and opinions.
The concept mapping activity will take no more than one hour of your time to complete. There will be an optional focus group in
which the group’s aggregated concept map will be presented for confirmation.
If you feel uncomfortable answering any of the questions, you can skip them, or stop participation at any time. Your
participation is voluntary and without compensation. If you decide to participate in the study, you may withdraw your consent
and stop participation at any time without penalty.
Your responses will never be linked to your individual identity. Instead, findings will be attributed to characteristics associated
with your background. Information collected in this study may be shared by NIST with researchers at NIST or with researchers
outside NIST. The information that you provide may be used in future research. Any future research will include protections to
ensure that both the sharing and use of the information complies with the conditions that I just described. There are NO
KNOWN RISKS or direct benefits to you.
We hope to gain more knowledge on how sustainability and resilience are conceptualized to better guide allocation of
resources that can help researchers, practitioners, and government refine planning for future extreme weather and climate
change associated impacts.


To consent, please click “yes” and complete this brief optional survey. At the end of the survey you can schedule a
time to complete the concept mapping activity.

OMB Control # 0693-0078
Expiration Date 7/31/2022
 
A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The
approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0693-0078. Without this approval, we could not
conduct this information collection. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be approximately
eight minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this
information collection are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
information collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology at: 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, Attn: Dr. Jennifer Helgeson, Associate Program Manager
for the NIST Community Resilience Program, NIST Engineering Laboratory; or contact at [email protected].
