This $500,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds the Developing New Strategies for Urban-Rural Systems Research Coordination Network (DISES-RCN) led by Iowa State University from August 2022 to January 2027. The DISES-RCN will establish an interdisciplinary network of researchers and stakeholders to address interconnected social, environmental, and technological challenges facing five metropolitan areas and their surrounding rural communities within the Mississippi River Basin landscape. The network will develop new research collaborations and directions through four working groups examining land use/housing, urban-rural flows, ecosystem services, and urban heat/climate impacts. It will also create an urban-rural classification system and consider linkages between social and environmental systems across scales. Subawards of $XX,XXX each to Louisiana State University and the University of Memphis will support participation in steering committee and working group meetings to advance the network's objectives. Outcomes aim to facilitate more resilient and sustainable regional policies through a systems-of-systems interpretation of these urban-rural gradients.
