Conceptualization of the Framework The Grand Pathways Framework connects the three modes of resilience and uses a focus on strengthening specific societal dimensions of resilience to better identify, align, and prioritize investments in science and technology. The Grand Pathways Framework (Figure 1) is an approach to consider resilience in the context of: – the essential characteristics or features of a resilient society • Societal Dimensions – those actions or services essential to delivery or realization of one or more societal dimensions • Key Functions – the enabling resources and capabilities that underpin one or more key functions • Cross-Cutting Enablers The framework helps users identify, align, and prioritize science and technology solutions that use the (anticipating, avoiding, adapting, withstanding, and building back better) to enhance the of both cross-cutting enablers and key functions so that they effectively deliver the desired . In applying the Framework, SRST encourages adopters to carefully consider the distinctions between cross-cutting enablers, key functions, and societal dimensions of resilience. Cross-cutting enablers are resources (e.g., finances or infrastructure) that allow communities to perform specific key functions (e.g., facilitate emergency evacuation) that support enduring societies. process of resilience property of resilience outcomes of societal resilience This was originally published in March 2023 on It has been broken-up into bite sized sections, each with unique headlines and AI-generated lead images, in line with the provisions of whitehouse.gov.
