The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $148,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES: WHERE, WHY, AND HOW POLICIES HAVE SHAPED FLOOD EXPOSURE OUTCOMES." The three-year grant is funded under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's CFDA #47.041 Engineering program, which aims to foster innovation...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research on understanding how compound flood mechanisms influence decision-making about shoreline adaptation in multi-jurisdictional governance systems and how those decisions modify flood risk patterns. The $555,778 award, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will develop an integrated modeling framework to examine the emergent behavior that arises from the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $499,653 to Rowan University to investigate the impacts of sea-level rise and coastal flooding on the fiscal health and resilience of local communities. The project aims to advance understanding of how property devaluation and infrastructure damage from flooding events affect municipal tax revenues, which in turn constrains governments' ability to invest in adaptation measures. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $274,573 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under CFDA Program #47.041 Engineering. The award, which runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to develop a resilience assessment framework that tracks the accumulated costs of nuisance floods as an indicator of sea-level rise. The project aims to use this information to...
This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award, valued at $999,732 and effective August 1, 2025, will develop tools and solution alternatives for coastal communities impacted by compounding flood hazards from multiple simultaneous sources. The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. will partner with local organizations in San Juan, Puerto Rico to use advanced computer models and affordable flood sensors to improve flood modeling. The project...
This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $149,577 Project Grant to the University of Miami under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to support the "SRS-RN PLANNING GRANT: INTEGRATED AND CONVERGENT SEA LEVEL ADAPTATION FOR URBAN AND RURAL SYSTEMS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO COASTAL REGIONS" research project. The grant will fund planning activities from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 aimed at developing integrated and convergent...
The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $232,720 Project Grant to the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING URBAN RESILIENCE TO PLUVIAL FLOODS USING REDUCED-ORDER MODELING." The award period runs from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025. Under this award, the University of Michigan will conduct research to improve understanding...
This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on "Catalyzing Flood Justice in the USA." The project aims to examine the social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to unequal flood risks and recovery outcomes, particularly for communities of color and low socioeconomic status. Key activities include hosting workshops, fostering collaboration, and...
