Expanding military installation and defense community-based capacity for applied research application in support of the network for engineering with nature

The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $4,977,944 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center to support the "Expanding Military Installation and Defense Community-Based Capacity for Applied Research Application in Support of the Network for Engineering with Nature" project. This award is funded through the Department of Defense's Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630), which provides research and development funding across scientific and technical disciplines to advance capabilities that support the DoD mission. The project aims to expand applied research capacity and capabilities at military installations and in surrounding defense communities to address environmental challenges through techniques aligned with the Engineering with Nature initiative. UGA Research Foundation, a non-profit research organization, will serve as the prime recipient and manage the multi-year effort, which is expected to be completed by February 1, 2027.
