Clemson University was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2026. The grant funds the development of an adaptive stochastic look-ahead framework to improve disaster relief logistics under forecast uncertainty. As part of its mission to foster innovation in engineering research, the NSF Engineering program supports the creation of new approaches and tools like predictive models that enhance coordination of relief efforts for natural disasters and humanitarian crises when the full scale and impact is uncertain. This framework aims to optimize relief resource allocation and transportation in the face of changing conditions and needs.
