This $185,078 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems supports a collaborative research project focused on addressing the dual roles of computing - as an enabler of solutions to climate change challenges, and as a contributor to climate change itself. The grant funds a two-phase approach. The first phase is an online information gathering effort to identify critical, yet poorly explored sustainability problems that computing can help address. The second phase is a workshop that brings together researchers across multiple disciplines, as well as experts in building interdisciplinary teams, to develop a concrete agenda for addressing these challenges and sustaining the required interdisciplinary scientific community. This award supports the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, which advances the development and use of research cyberinfrastructure to enable and accelerate discovery and innovation. The grant is awarded to The Washington University, a private university in St. Louis, Missouri, with no planned sub-awards.
