This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will work with California coastal communities to produce research and adaptation strategies that address resiliency in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The University of California, Berkeley will lead the project, which aims to: 1) develop scenarios for future shorelines, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) evaluate technical assistance tools and...

The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $207,189 Cooperative Agreement to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431). The project aims to analyze state-of-the-art global ocean model simulations to quantify improvements in forecasting coastal sea level variability over seasonal to annual timescales....

National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Award in Coastal Resilience The University of Miami received a $3.0 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Graduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2030. This National Research Traineeship (NRT) award supports the development and delivery of an interdisciplinary graduate training program in coastal resilience. The program will provide...

This $486,990.00 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) federal grant program. The project aims to co-develop a transferable decision framework that communities can use to assess a broad set of outcomes regarding flood adaptation choices, such as grey and green infrastructure, building retrofits, and relocation. This effort brings together expertise from two...

This cooperative agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will fund $199,994 to Antioch University New England for the NEST project under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program. The project will convene stakeholders in the Northeast region to identify research questions and strategies promoting integrated climate adaptation. It will review equity in existing regional adaptation efforts and bring together subregional networks in Vermont, New Hampshire, coastal...

This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...

This $1,745,708 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project team, led by the University of Delaware, will work with researchers and community stakeholders across three EPSCoR jurisdictions (Delaware, Rhode Island,...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is providing a $300,000 Cooperative Agreement award under the Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473) program to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) to update the New Hampshire Coastal Flood Risk Summary and implement inclusive engagement and training. The award, effective May 1, 2024 through October 31, 2026, will enable NHDES to convene an advisory group and undertake a collaborative 5-year update to...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $400,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473) Federal Grant Program to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). The funding will enable RIDEM's Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) to implement projects, initiatives, and programs that increase the climate resilience of coastal communities within Rhode Island's coastal counties. Specifically,...
