The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $298,982 Project Grant to Texas A&M University on September 1, 2021 with a completion date of August 31, 2023. The grant supports the EAGER project "SYNCHRONIZING DECISION-SUPPORT VIA HUMAN- AND SOCIAL-CENTERED DIGITAL TWIN INFRASTRUCTURES FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES" under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075).
The grant will fund the development of digital twin infrastructures to synchronize decision support for coastal communities. Specifically, the project aims to build human- and social-centered digital models to help coastal residents and policymakers manage risks from natural hazards like hurricanes and floods. By integrating data on social and individual factors with physical infrastructure models, the digital twins seek to provide more useful information for disaster preparation, response and community planning. The work is expected to contribute to the NSF's program goal of advancing basic social and economic research, as well as monitoring investments in science.
