This Project Grant award, valued at $113,650.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Appalachian State University. The purpose of the award is to establish a Research Coordination Network (RCN) that will advance scientific knowledge and public welfare through an interdisciplinary collaboration focused on enhancing flood resilience and reducing health disparities in rural communities like those in Appalachia. The RCN will operate through five...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, will fund the development of a novel flood forecasting system by Hyfi LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The $1,244,153 award will span from June 2025 to May 2027 and aims to advance real-time flood monitoring and predictive capabilities through the integration of sensor data and advanced analytics....
This $673,418 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to improve understanding of monthly flood dynamics over the southeastern and south-central United States. Specifically, the university will quantify shifts in flood climatology, identify moisture delivery pathways for floods, and attribute sources of modulation for floods' spatiotemporal variability. Researchers will examine historical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $386,304 to North Carolina State University to operate a five-year Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on enhancing flood resilience and reducing health disparities in rural Appalachian communities. The RCN will bring together an interdisciplinary team of geoscientists, public health experts, social scientists, and community leaders to: (1) develop high-resolution flood...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,998 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to strengthen community resilience to river flood hazards in hilly and mountainous areas. The two-year project aims to: (1) build partnerships with local communities impacted by river floods, (2) co-develop critical research questions on flood erosion hazards and adaptation solutions, (3) develop a database of flood impacts and adaptation...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $161,611 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to study how rural communities respond to overlapping flood and ecological disasters. The project examines the role of mutual aid networks in enabling recovery and mitigation efforts, and produces a community-based floodplain mapping tool to improve communication and collaboration across scales in disaster response. The research...
This Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $580,797, was granted by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RII FEC: THE FLOODING IN APPALACHIAN STREAMS AND HEADWATERS INITIATIVE: MITIGATING IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND FLASH FLOODING IN APPALACHIA", will integrate research across civil engineering, environmental science, and social science disciplines to better understand, predict, and prepare for flash floods in vulnerable rural communities in the Appalachian region. Key objectives include developing new hydrologic models, sensor networks, and community-engaged solutions to address the challenges of flash flooding exacerbated by climate change. The project will also provide workforce development activities for over 500 underrepresented middle and high school students in the region. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028.
