This Project Grant award of $998,995.00 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop a framework for applying the concept of "energy justice" to the design and development of clean energy technologies. The goal is to use social science theory to inform engineering research and development, with a focus on a case study of hydrothermal liquefaction of waste streams. The approach aims to generate insights on how energy justice can...
This $549,999 National Science Foundation award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research from September 2022 through August 2025 to develop an energy justice framework and assessment tools for evaluating the impacts of electric vehicle deployment on electricity infrastructure and consumers. George Mason University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with Syracuse University on specific tasks. The project team will design metrics and...
This $100,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports planning activities for a new Center on Clean Energy and Society (CES) at Brown University over a two-year period. The key objectives are to: 1) Hold interdisciplinary meetings to identify critical research on the societal aspects of clean energy development; 2) Synthesize existing research on clean energy...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $750,000 in funding to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to investigate the impacts of economic incentives, planning paradigms, and conservation concerns on electricity infrastructure investments. The project aims to improve the effectiveness and social impact of...
This $242,520 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research examining the impacts of electricity market regulation on energy transitions and environmental justice. Over a three-year period ending in February 2025, researchers at Columbia University will develop structural economic models to evaluate how rate-of-return regulation historically influenced shifts from coal to natural gas generation and may...
This $199,964 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to address challenges and opportunities presented by the rapid proliferation of grid-edge resources (GERs) in modern power systems. The project aims to develop novel data-driven control strategies and advance the understanding of GER behavior to ensure the safe and secure operation of these distributed...
This $257,455 National Science Foundation project grant supports research examining the impacts of electricity market regulation on energy transitions and environmental justice. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the University of Arizona will model how rate-of-return regulation historically influenced shifts from coal to natural gas generation and how regulatory changes may impact ongoing transitions to renewable energy. Researchers will also...
This $749,628 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research to advance community-centered, sociotechnical innovation to strengthen urban infrastructure in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan region. The project will engage communities, municipalities, and energy utilities to co-design carbon-neutral energy infrastructure solutions that leverage distributed solar energy and battery storage...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $500,000 to assess the potential for implementing transactive energy services in rural New Hampshire communities. The project aims to study the technical and social factors that influence rural residents' willingness to participate in such energy-sharing, real-time pricing markets. It will examine the features and factors required to develop a socially...
This $650,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) to The Pennsylvania State University supports research to strengthen the resilience and equity of U.S. energy infrastructure during extreme cold weather events. The project develops an integrated framework to assess and improve the allocation of natural gas between local distribution companies and power plants. It involves modeling the impacts of winter...

This Project Grant award for $100,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project titled "CRISES: DECARBONIZATION: ENHANCING JUST ENERGY TRANSITIONS" conducted by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).

The primary objectives of this project are to: 1) map energy transitions, 2) identify best practices for managing energy transitions, and 3) engage communities in energy transition processes. The research aims to advance principles of justice, environmental justice, and equity within energy system decarbonization efforts, rather than treating them as separate components. The project centers around a planned conference that will convene leading experts from academia, nonprofits, and community organizations to design research priorities and strategies for managing the social and environmental impacts of changes to energy systems, particularly related to the transition from fossil fuels and the increased use of lithium-based battery technologies.
