The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,590 Project Grant to Louisiana State University (LSU) through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HNDS-I: CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR HUMAN DYNAMICS AND RESILIENCE RESEARCH," will fund the development of a national cyberinfrastructure to support and advance human dynamics and disaster resilience research. Key products and services to be delivered include:
- Construction of four new integrated data sets containing social media, cell-phone mobility, and other data to study disaster resilience.
- Development of visualization and analytical tools, such as maps, statistics, and dynamic simulations, to facilitate exploratory and in-depth research.
- Implementation of training and feedback modules to engage researchers, practitioners, and the public in using the cyberinfrastructure.
- Three case studies demonstrating how the cyberinfrastructure can generate new knowledge about the relationship between human mobility and resilience.
This award reflects NSF's mission to promote basic research and education in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. The project is a collaboration among researchers from four universities and runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
