This National Science Foundation project grant of $399,876 awarded on September 1, 2022 will fund research examining environmental justice perspectives on water-energy infrastructure projects intended to mitigate climate change. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Portland State University will investigate how neighboring communities, policymakers, and developers view hydrosocial changes and environmental justice related to water-energy transitions. The university will engage directly with communities, including indigenous groups, to understand reactions to relevant projects and governance approaches. Three subawards totaling $149,876 will support related tasks through California Polytechnic State University Pomona Foundation, University of Nevada Reno, and San Jose State University Research Foundation. All awardees will collaborate on research design, data collection and analysis, webinars, workshops, and publications to advance understanding of stakeholder perspectives on infrastructure reshaping hydrological systems and landscapes.
