42 U.S.C. § 7708 — Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Establishment** The Director of the National Science Foundation shall establish the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation that will upgrade, link, and integrate a system of geographically distributed experimental facilities for earthquake engineering testing of full-sized structures and their components and partial-scale physical models. The system shall be integrated through networking software so that integrated models and databases can be used to create model-based simulation, and the components of the system shall be interconnected with a computer network and allow for remote access, information sharing, and collaborative research.
**(b) Authorization of appropriations** In addition to amounts appropriated under [section 7706(c) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section7706/c&num=0&edition=prelim), there are authorized to be appropriated to the National Science Foundation for the George E.

Simulation
(a) Establishment
The Director of the National Science Founda-
tion shall establish the George E. Brown, Jr.
Network for Earthquake Engineering Simula-
tion that will upgrade, link, and integrate a sys-
tem of geographically distributed experimental

used to create model-based simulation, and the
components of the system shall be inter-
connected with a computer network and allow
for remote access, information sharing, and col-
laborative research.
