The University of Alabama in Huntsville will receive $505,313 from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for the project "CAREER: Integrating Resilience and Social Vulnerability into the Management of Civil Infrastructure Systems" from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2027.

The project aims to develop new models and metrics for assessing infrastructure resilience that integrate social vulnerability factors. This will allow infrastructure management decisions to better consider the needs of vulnerable populations. Specifically, the university will formulate a resilience assessment model, decision-making framework, and recovery planning model incorporating social vulnerability. It will also provide new component importance metrics to guide resilience improvements. The funding will support research evaluating the methods, as well as an educational program and community outreach to increase awareness of infrastructure resilience issues.
