The grant funds four sub-awards to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating a combined treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, and nightmares among 50 firefighters. NDRI-USA Inc. will provide data...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $258,054 will fund research on the stigma of mental health conditions and help-seeking attitudes among engineering undergraduates and early professionals. Awarded under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's 47.041 Engineering program, the three-year grant beginning May 1, 2022 supports a longitudinal mixed-methods study led by researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The study will use annual surveys and qualitative...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $399,630.00, is provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support U.S. researchers participating in a multinational research project on the impacts of wildfires on cultural heritage. The award will fund a collaborative research effort, titled "BELMONT FORUM COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WILDFIRE RESILIENT CULTURAL HERITAGE (FIRECULT)", that seeks to explore the role of fire in the development of...

This award supports an interdisciplinary research initiative investigating long-term human fire management and environmental change within Pacific Northwest high-elevation social-ecological systems. The project...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded Southern Methodist University a $396,527 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund an analysis of fire suppression and increasing environmental variability on wildfire intensity from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program aims to support basic research and education in these fields as well...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), provides $168,875 to Oklahoma State University to examine the impact of fire service culture on the mental health and coping strategies of firefighters. The project aims to develop a multilevel model to understand how the organizational culture, specifically the "masculinity contest culture" within fire departments, interacts with individual coping mechanisms to affect firefighters' emotional states, mental health, and job outcomes. The research team will collect data through a stratified random sampling of fire department employees across the United States to assess the role of fire service culture and its influence on stress, coping, and mental health issues such as PTSD and suicidal ideation. The findings are expected to provide insights that can guide organizational interventions to promote healthy coping and mitigate the effects of job-related stressors on firefighters. The project will disseminate the results through academic and practitioner-focused outlets to reach both researchers and leaders in first responder organizations.
