This $237,890 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Cooperative Extension Service (CFDA 10.500) aims to adapt and distribute the "Families Tackling Tough Times Together (FT)" program to help families build resilience in the aftermath of disasters. The key objectives are to: (1) identify unique needs of disaster-affected families, (2) tailor existing FT materials to those needs, (3) create an implementation manual for Cooperative Extension System professionals, and (4) distribute the adapted program. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge and preparedness among Cooperative Extension professionals to support families after disasters, as well as enhanced family resilience. The award was made to Purdue University, which has extensive experience delivering research, education, and outreach projects through federal grants and contracts across a range of scientific domains.
