- This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will work with California coastal communities to produce research and adaptation strategies that address resiliency in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The University of California, Berkeley will lead the project, which aims to: 1) develop scenarios for future shorelines, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) evaluate technical assistance tools and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $200,000 to New York University (NYU) to develop collaborative partnerships and co-identify research questions aimed at using flood sensor data to better understand and predict urban flooding, as well as implement community-level actions toward adaptation and mitigation. The key objectives are to: (1) develop and optimize data processing tools to prepare the flood dataset for actionable...
- This $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Northeastern University received a $998,696 Project Grant awarded July 15, 2025, by the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project, "RAISE: Working with Communities to Reduce Flood Risk and Increase Resilience," will deliver research and decision-support tools addressing the approximately $500 billion in annual losses from river flooding in the United States. Through June...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the CFDA program 47.079 - Office of International Science and Engineering, aims to develop a flood resilience framework for coastal communities in the Caribbean region, particularly in Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Lucia. The $648,579 project, starting on June 1, 2024 and running through May 31, 2027, will be led by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The key project goals are to (a) create a community learning...
- This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $598,187 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) to develop social and technology infrastructure that expands critical coastal flooding data collection and leverages it to enhance resilience in rural Maine coastal communities. The key products and services to be delivered under this one-year project include: This project aims to address the unique resilience challenges faced by rural coastal communities in Maine due to limited resources, sparse tide gauge coverage, and insufficient regional planning support.
