This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) totaling $284,044 provides funding for a research project to assess the adaptability of resilience models to address hazards such as hurricanes and wildfires in frontline and coastal communities. The project, awarded to Northern Illinois University (NIU), tests how resilience models can be adapted across multiple scales to improve disaster preparedness and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering CFDA 47.041 Project Grant award to Oklahoma State University is for $367,706 to investigate the use of place-based, human-centered networks leveraging micromobility, community social ties, and resilience hubs to enhance community resilience and equity in disaster response and recovery efforts. The research project, which includes a subaward to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, aims to: 1) understand the functions, usage, and...
This $257,914 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will develop a national cyberinfrastructure called the Human Dynamics and Resilience Infrastructure (HNDS-I) to advance disaster resilience research. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing four new integrated databases from sources like social media and cell-phone mobility data...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award in the amount of $454,236 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell will advance the field of resilience analytics and enhance the ability of civil infrastructure systems to withstand natural disasters. The key research objectives include: (i) Adapting statistical physics and discrete modeling techniques to predict the type, extent, and functional integrity of damage to structural and non-structural building...
This $400,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a 3-year research project that examines the impacts of natural disasters on community resilience and spatial disparities. The project has three key components: 1) analyzing disruptions to resident mobility patterns using mobile phone data, 2) investigating spatial variation in requests for government assistance, and 3)...
This $323,520 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a longitudinal study on how people who relocated after natural disasters adapt and integrate into new communities over time. The principal investigator will conduct in-depth interviews with 54 participants, including those who returned to the disaster-affected area, to understand the factors shaping long-term settlement decisions and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (47.041) Project Grant of $396,200 was awarded to The University of Texas at Arlington on November 1, 2021 to support research through October 31, 2023. The grant aims to leverage crowdsourced data to assess spatiotemporal patterns of resilience in diverse Gulf Coast communities impacted by natural hazards. Products and services will include analysis of how crowdsourced data can measure community resilience following disasters. A sub-award of...
This $161,611 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research on how rural communities in the United States respond to overlapping disasters of inland riverine flooding and other ecological stressors. The project, conducted by Trustees of Dartmouth College, examines the role of localized mutual aid networks in enabling communication, recovery, and mitigation efforts for these communities. Key deliverables include...
This $170,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports the development of a national cyberinfrastructure called the Human Dynamics and Resilience Infrastructure (HNDS-I) to advance disaster resilience research. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year grant include: Creating four new integrated databases containing nationwide data from...
This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will fund research services at the University of Oklahoma to develop a risk sharing network for underserved tribal communities in Oklahoma. The University will build understanding of interactive risk and information sharing processes among key stakeholders through stakeholder engagement and advance theoretical and computational insights from scientific literature. The...
