This Project Grant award of $421,500.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation supports collaborative research to understand the role of stress in human crowd dynamics during emergency evacuation situations. The research aims to examine how an individual's stress state can spread contagiously to others in a group, potentially exacerbating group stress levels and impacting efficient group movement during an evacuation. The three-year...
Oregon State University was awarded a $250,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to improve community wildfire resilience by integrating behavioral science with evacuation modeling. Specifically, the university will study household responses to wildfire risk across four wildland-urban interface...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of North Texas Research and Innovation Division. The grant funding aims to develop a comprehensive framework to streamline diverse processes and integrate advanced technological solutions into disaster relief operations, enhancing the overall effectiveness and speed of emergency response efforts. The key objectives are to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $255,000 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop geospatial modeling and risk mitigation tools for hurricane evacuation and disaster response. The 3-year project leverages human mobility data from mobile devices and vehicle traffic monitoring to build statistical and optimization models that can improve the efficacy of disaster...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop context-specific scientific simulation models and an advanced visualization platform to mitigate wildfire risks. The award period is from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Specifically, the University will create an integrated simulation framework capturing the dynamics of wildfire evacuation, including...
This $549,953 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand and predict decision-making among vulnerable populations, such as older adults, during disasters. The research team will conduct experiments using virtual reality (VR) to examine how factors like hazard type and risk perception influence disaster preparedness decisions across different age groups. Key objectives include investigating the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $284,044 to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to assess the adaptability of resilience models across multiple scales for hazards such as hurricanes and wildfires. The project tests how communities can craft localized resilience plans and identifies factors that facilitate or hinder implementation. Key activities include public conferences, hazard mapping,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to incorporate group-level behavioral responses into epidemic models. The award of $700,000 will support research to develop mathematical models and computational algorithms that capture how group behaviors, such as the formation of social bubbles and changes in risk-mitigating norms, can impact pandemic trajectories. The project, led by Northeastern University,...
