Cooperative Agreement 72011123CA00003

This $284,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to assess the adaptability of resilience models for hazards like hurricanes and wildfires. The project, led by Northern Illinois University (NIU), tests how resilience models can be adapted across multiple scales and communities. Key products include: Conducting public conferences, hazard mapping, and risk perception surveys to explore...

This Project Grant award of $341,949.00 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149) aims to build teaching capacity and improve equitable access to climate resilience resources for cultural heritage organizations and communities. Specifically, the project will evaluate and improve existing climate resilience resources, develop and facilitate a "train the trainers" program, offer free public...

This $150,939 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) aims to advance research capacity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and scientific literacy to mitigate the impacts of climate change-driven flash flooding in vulnerable rural communities across the Appalachian region. The 4-year project will integrate engineering, environmental science, and social science to: 1) improve...

This five-year, $260,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at the University of Oklahoma examining transactive resilience in disaster-affected communities. The university will analyze relationships among non-profits, community groups, government agencies, and infrastructure to better understand how distributed networks can bolster disaster resilience through peer-to-peer interactions. The research also aims to...

This $1,454,103 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will engage stakeholders to drive research and workforce development on the equitable design and implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate resilience. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: RII FEC: Equitable Nature-Based Climate Solutions (ENACTS)," will be conducted around three living hubs in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a $113,650 Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on enhancing flood resilience and reducing health disparities in rural Appalachian communities. Led by Appalachian State University, the 5-year interdisciplinary network will bring together geoscientists, public health experts, social scientists, and community leaders to: 1) develop advanced flood forecasting models tailored to...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award in the amount of $454,236 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell will advance the field of resilience analytics and enhance the ability of civil infrastructure systems to withstand natural disasters. The key research objectives include: (i) Adapting statistical physics and discrete modeling techniques to predict the type, extent, and functional integrity of damage to structural and non-structural building...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $100,000 to support the planning and development of a new shared-use, community-scale testbed for research on climate adaptation and disaster resilience. The testbed will serve as a cyber-physical environment representative of real-world community systems, enabling policy design, model integration, and theory development related to climate change impacts and natural hazards. The planning...

This Project Grant award of $386,304 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a five-year Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on enhancing flood resilience and reducing health disparities in rural Appalachian communities. Led by North Carolina State University, the network will bring together an interdisciplinary team of geoscientists, public health professionals, social scientists, and community leaders to: (1) develop high-resolution flood...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $857,280 to the University of Louisville to conduct collaborative research on mitigating the impacts of climate change and flash flooding in the Appalachian region. The key goals of the project are to: Advance the hydrologic sciences to understand controls of flash floods in disturbed and forested stream systems Facilitate community-engaged research to increase...
