The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $3,000,000 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will fund the "NRT: CLIMATE-CARE: CLIMATE ACTION AND RESILIENCE FOR EXTREME URBAN HEAT" program. This project aims to train 36 doctoral and 20 master's students in convergent research and education related to sustainability design and engineering, with a focus on utilizing advanced (bio)materials and eco-additive manufacturing techniques to manage the transfer of air, moisture, heat, and light between outdoor and indoor building environments. The goal is to increase climate resilience and prepare a diverse future STEM workforce to address the challenges of urban heat stress. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
