This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) provides $500,000 to Purdue University from July 2023 through June 2028. Purdue will develop risk-informed, adaptive, and equitable flood risk management strategies for coastal Louisiana through improved quantification of natural hazards risks under climate change. Leveraging unique datasets and modeling capabilities, Purdue will better characterize joint risks from storm surge, riverine, and...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $100,000 supports research at Purdue University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to strengthen community resilience to natural hazards like earthquakes by incorporating stakeholder priorities into risk mitigation efforts. Specifically, the university will conduct social and physical experiments to better understand vulnerability of pre-1970s concrete buildings and evaluate community...
This Project Grant award of $998,696.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a project at Northeastern University to evaluate how communities have responded to recent floods and develop new tools to help build resilience to flooding hazards. The project aims to enhance the resilience of floodplain communities by increasing understanding of the causes and projections of riverine flooding at the local level. The researchers will collaborate with...
This $499,988 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand population mobility patterns and experiences due to low-attention flooding events. The 3-year study, starting September 1, 2024, aims to fill the knowledge gap around how repeated, low-attention flood disasters that receive limited media coverage contribute to people's decisions to evacuate, return, or permanently relocate. The research team will...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop fast flood modeling technologies that can improve the design and resilience of infrastructure systems. The objective is to create flood simulation capabilities that significantly speed up assessments of flood risks and infrastructure responses, while maintaining accuracy. This high-risk, interdisciplinary research project at the University of Miami's...
This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $400,000 to Clemson University will develop a next-generation flood computing system called "FLOODENGINE" to improve flood forecasting and analytics. The project will leverage smart cyber-physical systems (SCPS) capabilities to optimize data gathering and processing, develop a physics-based deep learning model, and promote knowledge transfer through innovative networks. The goal is to...
This $1,994,481 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of a transformative graduate training program at Portland State University (PSU) to address cascading impacts of extreme events and geohazards across scales. The five-year project, running from September 2024 to August 2029, will train 22 NSF-funded graduate students and an additional 100 students in a transdisciplinary curriculum using a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $274,573 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under CFDA Program #47.041 Engineering. The award, which runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to develop a resilience assessment framework that tracks the accumulated costs of nuisance floods as an indicator of sea-level rise. The project aims to use this information to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $161,611 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to study how rural communities respond to overlapping flood and ecological disasters. The project examines the role of mutual aid networks in enabling recovery and mitigation efforts, and produces a community-based floodplain mapping tool to improve communication and collaboration across scales in disaster response. The research...
