This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will develop a new decision-support toolkit to help coastal communities in Greater Miami, Florida visualize, test, and prioritize localized climate adaptation and mitigation strategies to improve resilience to sea-level rise. The $196,402 award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, will establish researcher-community partnerships to co-produce modeling tools that examine the...

This federal Project Grant award of $1,298,986 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program supports the development of XTREMECAST, an innovative weather forecasting system that integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model for predicting extreme weather events. The goal is to provide skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times, enabling...

CFD Research Corporation was awarded a $499,996 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Small Business Innovation Research Program. The grant will fund development of the Weather Risk Information and Impacts for Schools Systems Kit from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The Kit will provide school systems tools and resources to assess weather risks and plan for impacts of extreme events. As the SBIR Program seeks to stimulate technological innovation to meet...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) totaling $284,044 provides funding for a research project to assess the adaptability of resilience models to address hazards such as hurricanes and wildfires in frontline and coastal communities. The project, awarded to Northern Illinois University (NIU), tests how resilience models can be adapted across multiple scales to improve disaster preparedness and...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $813,701 to the University of Rhode Island to conduct research on climate change adaptation and resilience for coastal communities. The project, titled "RISKS, IMPACTS, & STRATEGIES FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES: ADVANCING CONVERGENT SCIENCE TO SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION & RESILIENCE," aims to empower affected communities to make effective and...

This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $149,928 and funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431), aims to evaluate how existing Decision-Support Tools (DSTs) can be leveraged to increase climate adaptation action by small and mid-sized cities across the United States. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) develop a typology and assess the usability of DSTs on the Climate...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston. The grant will fund a one-year planning project to establish the Climate Inequality and Integrative Resilience (CLIIR) Center, which will aim to advance scientific knowledge on the links between inequality and climate resilience to inform climate resilience policy decisions. Key planned activities include expanding...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $578,602 Cooperative Agreement under its Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) program to the University of Wyoming. The project aims to refine, develop, and test an evaluation framework to explore the links between climate services and transformative capacity in vulnerable communities in the Intermountain West. Key goals include expanding an existing evaluation framework, building the capacity of community-based...
