- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded Drexel University $449,633 under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) federal grant program to conduct research titled "CROWD-SOURCED JUST-IN-TIME INLET MAINTENANCE AS AN URBAN STRATEGY FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE." The research will explore using paid civic scientists to clean storm drains and green infrastructure inlets in Camden, NJ and New York City just before forecasted...
- This $500,000 NSF Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support Carnegie Mellon University's efforts to develop a comprehensive green infrastructure (GI) implementation and adoption plan for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The project aims to prioritize and monitor GI installations, engage and support municipalities, and advance GI education and outreach. Key objectives include creating a municipal GI implementation guide, developing a communications...
- This $120,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The grant will support research to analyze the resilience of combined sewer systems in response to climate change and assess the potential impacts on marginalized communities. The project aims to: 1) advance data analytics and modeling methodologies for urban wastewater systems; 2) assess system-level resilience of the test-bed...
- This $119,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support a collaborative research project to assess the climate resilience of combined sewer systems and its impact on marginalized communities. The project, led by the University of Houston System, will develop an integrated modeling framework to analyze the resilience of a combined sewer system in Des Moines, Iowa to wet weather conditions under climate change. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Temple University a $150,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to support the development of a community-led planning tool for climate readiness. The grant period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. Under this award, Temple University will work to develop an accessible community technology that allows local...
- This $2,228,505 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of a cloud-based, open, and collaborative cyberinfrastructure to enable data-driven exploration and modeling of urban data. The project aims to address two critical obstacles in urban computing: the lack of robust, well-engineered tools and open computing platforms, and the dispersed community of cross-disciplinary...
This $149,305 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will support planning activities at Villanova University to develop a roadmap for smart, sustainable, and equitable green stormwater systems in urban communities. Over the one-year period from October 2022 to September 2023, the university will form a cross-disciplinary task force including researchers, government agencies, community partners, and industry representatives. This task force will engage continuously with community stakeholders to incorporate preferences and technical considerations into the roadmap. The roadmap is intended to guide future development of computer technologies and tools to design stormwater infrastructure that improves opportunities for green infrastructure, enhances system functionality over the long term, and addresses community needs and preferences to promote social equity. The project aims to establish new frontiers for urban sustainability and contribute to improved urban environments through tightly integrated research and outreach.
