Project Grant 20167000425659

This $649,008 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to infuse climate change curriculum into technology programs. The project, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Queensborough Community College, seeks to develop 10 educational modules that will integrate climate change topics into existing mechanical and electrical engineering technology programs. Key objectives include...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $291,000 cooperative agreement to The University of the West Indies under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program. The three-year award, running from April 2021 through March 2024, will support the NOAA-CERMES Climate Resilience Enhancement Programme (NCCREP) to be conducted in Barbados. As indicated in the program description, the Climate and Atmospheric Research program aims to develop predictive climate modeling...

This $449,885 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program aims to design, implement, and test climate science and history professional learning materials and experiences for high school teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area. The University of California, Berkeley, as the prime awardee, will work with a team of scientists, historians, and educators to co-develop curricular planning tools and lesson plans to help teachers integrate...

This $359,899 Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2023 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports a collaborative research project between researchers at Vanderbilt University and other institutions to reconstruct climate variability in the southern Caribbean region using coral and speleothem (cave) paleoclimate proxy records. Key objectives include: Generating geochemical records of...

This Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on reconstructing past climate variability in the Southern Caribbean region. The $146,581 award to Princeton University will fund a project that uses coral and speleothem (cave) carbonates as climate proxies to generate long-term records of local temperature and hydroclimate changes since the Last Glacial Maximum. The...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program provides $300,000 to Nevada State College for a planning project titled "Amplifying Climate Resilience Curriculum Using Informal Learning Opportunities for Undergraduates." The goal is to develop climate resilience curriculum and educational resources for undergraduates. Nevada State College will work with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on this project through August 2023. Specifically, UNLV...

This $3,707,343 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417), will develop new training curricula and identify existing programs to address critical skills needed to improve climate resilience in coastal Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The project, implemented by the minority-owned, non-profit organization Protectores De Cuencas Inc. (PDC), aims to build the capacity of these communities to...

This $1,223,730 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will develop a collaboration model for how planetariums can work with local communities to co-create data-driven visual narratives about the impacts of climate change on their regions. The project will initially establish four "development partnerships" to articulate, test, and refine the collaboration model, which will then be shared as a guide and toolkit for five...

This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs under the Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs (CFDA 19.017) will provide $150,000.00 to support the efforts of Caribbean small island developing states to reach climate resilience. The project will be carried out by The Ashley Lashley Foundation in Barbados over a 12-month period from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The funding will...

This two-year, $712,764 cooperative agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will support environmental literacy and climate resilience efforts in Roanoke, Virginia. Funded through NOAA's Mission-Related Education Awards program, the project aims to educate local health professionals, educators, urban planners and government officials on building climate resilience. Key activities will include piloting an environmental literacy campaign combining heat management...
