The work will include...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $503,918 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Princeton University for the period of April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2023. The grant supports collaborative research among Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Texas A&M University to study responses to complex disruptive events from a cognitive and socio-political context. Under the award, the researchers will conduct household surveys,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $804,950 to investigate the effects of climate change on rural livelihoods, including food insecurity, health, migration, and changes to traditional practices. The award to the University of Colorado, Boulder will examine how environmental stressors impact vulnerable rural populations and whether they lead to increased social conflict or...
This $135,798 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds collaborative research to develop flexible regression methods that can more accurately measure the economic impacts of climate change. The research aims to address limitations in existing approaches that do not adequately capture the effects of extreme temperatures on economic outcomes. The award supports the development of new statistical software and...
This $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will support research examining discursive strategies of climate justice organizing. The two-year award beginning in September 2021 will fund a study of how grassroots climate organizations communicate with the public about climate change and environmental justice. As part of its mission to strengthen the nation through basic research in social sciences, the NSF...
This $400,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a 3-year research project that examines the impacts of natural disasters on community resilience and spatial disparities. The project has three key components: 1) analyzing disruptions to resident mobility patterns using mobile phone data, 2) investigating spatial variation in requests for government assistance, and 3)...
This $397,337 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the drivers and impacts of warm-season climate extremes in North America under a changing climate. The awardee, Northern Illinois University, will use high-resolution global climate modeling to examine how factors across various spatial scales influence extreme events like floods, heat waves and droughts. Researchers will simulate past and potential future warm seasons to...
This $148,477 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project exploring how people's beliefs about climate, migration, and social fairness influence their decisions related to climate adaptation. The project aims to develop a new conceptual framework, methodological tools, and survey-based measurement approach for analyzing "belief networks" - how an...
