Cornell University was awarded a three-year, $378,915 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to support stochastic modeling and optimization research for emergency response systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will fund the development of quantitative models and algorithms to improve emergency response planning and coordination. By incorporating uncertainty into models of disaster impacts and resource availability, the awardee aims to help emergency managers more robustly prepare for a range of potential scenarios. The research is also intended to optimize response strategies and resource allocation decisions in the face of stochastic events. The work will be performed at Cornell University's Ithaca, New York campus through June 2024.
