SCEC Institutions
The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is an institutionally based organization comprised of core institutions, which make a major, sustained commitment to SCEC objectives, and a larger number of participating institutions, which are self-nominated through the involvement of individual scientists or groups in SCEC activities and confirmed by the Board of Directors. Membership continues to evolve because SCEC is an open consortium, available to any individual or institution seeking to collaborate on earthquake science in Southern California.
Core InstitutionsCore institutions are designated academic and government research organizations with major research programs in earthquake science. Each core is expected to contribute a significant level of effort (both in personnel and activities) to SCEC programs, including Communication, Education and Outreach Program. Core institutions are obligated to contribute a yearly minimum of $35K of institutional resources (spent in-house on SCEC activities) as matching funds to Center activities. Each core institution appoints an Institutional Director to the Board of Directors. |

Participating Institutions - DomesticSCEC membership is open to participating institutions upon application. Eligible institutions may include any organization (including profit, non-profit, domestic, or foreign) involved in a Center-related research, education, or outreach activity. Participating institutions do not necessarily receive direct support from the Center. Each participating institution (through appropriate official) appoints a qualified Institutional Representative to facilitate communication with the Center. The interests of the participating institutions are represented on the Board of Directors by two Directors At-Large. |
