为实现地震科学研究的变革性进步，持续引领在地震断层行为和地震过程研究上的科技前沿，美国国家自然科学基金会（NSF）决定采用竞争性的方式重新建设一个或多个新的地震科学中心，并公开征集新中心的建设愿景、科学方向、功能设置及基础设施建设思路。美国南加州地震中心（SCEC）积极响应并提出24份方案，本文予以概貌性描述，为进一步深入解读提供参考。
In order to enable transformative research in earthquake science and continue to lead the scientific frontier on the fault systems and earthquake processes, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is preparing for a competition for future support of one or more earthquake center(s) focused on coordinating research in fundamental earthquake science, and openly solicit the construction vision, scientific direction, function setting and infrastructure construction ideas of the new center(s). The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) actively responded and submitted 24 proposals. This paper gives an overview of these proposals and hopes to provide a reference for further in-depth interpretation of them.
