This $499,988 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand population mobility patterns and experiences due to low-attention flooding events. The 3-year study, starting September 1, 2024, aims to fill the knowledge gap around how repeated, low-attention flood disasters that receive limited media coverage contribute to people's decisions to evacuate, return, or permanently relocate. The research team will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $323,520 to the University of South Florida to conduct a longitudinal study on post-disaster population movement and social integration. The principal investigator will interview 54 individuals who relocated after hurricanes in 2017 to understand how demographic factors, place-making, and rebuilding processes shape long-term settlement decisions and community...
This $170,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports the development of a national cyberinfrastructure called the Human Dynamics and Resilience Infrastructure (HNDS-I) to advance disaster resilience research. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year grant include: Creating four new integrated databases containing nationwide data from...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $255,000 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop geospatial modeling and risk mitigation tools for hurricane evacuation and disaster response. The 3-year project leverages human mobility data from mobile devices and vehicle traffic monitoring to build statistical and optimization models that can improve the efficacy of disaster...
This $257,914 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will develop a national cyberinfrastructure called the Human Dynamics and Resilience Infrastructure (HNDS-I) to advance disaster resilience research. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing four new integrated databases from sources like social media and cell-phone mobility data...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $170,999 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports the development of a national cyberinfrastructure called the Human Dynamics and Resilience Infrastructure (HNDS-I) to advance disaster resilience research. The infrastructure will include four new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of North Texas Research and Innovation Division. The grant funding aims to develop a comprehensive framework to streamline diverse processes and integrate advanced technological solutions into disaster relief operations, enhancing the overall effectiveness and speed of emergency response efforts. The key objectives are to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $190,402 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. This collaborative research project develops a novel adaptive data collection framework to enable reliable data collection under severe time and resource constraints for automated post-disaster rapid damage assessment. The system leverages a Bayesian probabilistic modeling approach to dynamically...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $284,044 to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to assess the adaptability of resilience models across multiple scales for hazards such as hurricanes and wildfires. The project tests how communities can craft localized resilience plans and identifies factors that facilitate or hinder implementation. Key activities include public conferences, hazard mapping,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (47.041) Project Grant of $396,200 was awarded to The University of Texas at Arlington on November 1, 2021 to support research through October 31, 2023. The grant aims to leverage crowdsourced data to assess spatiotemporal patterns of resilience in diverse Gulf Coast communities impacted by natural hazards. Products and services will include analysis of how crowdsourced data can measure community resilience following disasters. A sub-award of...
