The National Science Foundation awarded a $647,273 Project Grant to Arizona State University under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research from 2021-2026 to develop coupled climate and human health models to build pathways for extreme heat resilience. Leveraging its expertise in climate modeling and epidemiology, ASU will integrate climate change projections with health vulnerability data to identify communities most at risk from rising temperatures. The university will work with local governments and social services to design and evaluate cost-effective resilience strategies such as cooling centers and home weatherization. Findings over the 5-year period are intended to help municipalities and public health agencies nationwide better prepare for and respond to extreme heat events in a changing climate.
