- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $319,964 to Northeastern University aims to study how human engineering decisions and landscape changes over centuries have impacted coastal regions. The project uses novel modeling approaches, including agent-based, dynamical system, and participatory modeling, to understand how local-scale engineering interventions can lead to less geomorphologically stable delta landscapes compared to larger...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $372,431 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSF R2I2: RESILIENCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR SALT-INTRUDED GEOGRAPHIES (RISING) MID-ATLANTIC", will fund a collaborative effort to develop and implement science-based solutions focused on two key coastal economic sectors: farming and forestry. The project aims to improve regional...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $407,527 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Molloy University. The grant, titled "GP-UP: PROJECT RESTORES (RETENTION OF EARTH SCIENCE TRAINEES THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES IN RESTORATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES)", aims to increase the number of students in geosciences, retain historically underrepresented students in STEM fields, build faculty and institutional capacity, and produce highly qualified geoscience...
- This $131,606 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to strengthen networks of Black, Indigenous and other People of Color working in sustainable regional systems. Over the one-year period from March 2022 to February 2023, the awardee will collaborate with stakeholders including the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust and Black Farmer Fund to co-design a collective impact model and...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,898 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) on September 1, 2025. The grant, titled "Collaborative Research: NSF R2I2: Identifying Community Need Based Adaptation and Resilience Priorities in the US Northeast," aims to establish a regional network of scientists, engineers, policy experts, and community leaders to develop and implement adaptation solutions that address the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for the project "Assessing and Accelerating Living Shoreline in the US Gulf Coast for Resilience and Habitat Restoration." This interdisciplinary project aims to develop and evaluate a novel, nature-inspired "Living Engineered Reef System" designed to simultaneously protect coastal areas, store carbon dioxide, and restore marine...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Eastie Farm Inc., a non-profit organization in East Boston, MA. The funding supports engaging 40 local youth in a program focused on building a green economy through urban farming, coastal wetland restoration, climate resilience surveys, and green workforce development. Key activities include training youth in plant identification, propagation, and installation to mitigate coastal flooding and industrial pollution, as well as collecting and analyzing data on barriers to climate resilience approaches. The project aims to empower youth, connect them to green jobs, and develop a replicable model for building resilience in low-income, environmentally impacted urban communities. Eastie Farm plans to work closely with university researchers, community members, and its own non-profit community entity to deliver these services over the one-year award period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
