This $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research on understanding how compound flood mechanisms influence decision-making about shoreline adaptation in multi-jurisdictional governance systems and how those decisions modify flood risk patterns. The $555,778 award, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will develop an integrated modeling framework to examine the emergent behavior that arises from the...
This $650,920 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079), aims to investigate the vulnerabilities of community-managed water systems to climate change impacts and identify opportunities to strengthen their resilience. The project will focus on five climate-vulnerable locations globally, including indigenous communities in Kenya, South Sudan, Norway, Canada, and Alaska. Through a combination of climate scenario...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports community-based mitigation and adaptation strategies for river flooding and erosion in Alaska Native communities. Iowa State University will lead workshops and field visits with community members, local governments, and scientists in Bethel, Alaska and surrounding villages to solicit input on climate adaptation goals focused on infrastructure,...
This $284,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to assess the adaptability of resilience models for hazards like hurricanes and wildfires in frontline and coastal communities. The key products and services to be delivered include: Hosting annual public conferences and workshops to bring together scholars, students, organizations, elected officials, and community leaders to learn about...
This $209,484 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), will support research at the University of Michigan examining decision-making under evolving and conditional flood risk associated with coastal flood barriers. The research will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic decisions modeling, and social behavioral modeling to...
This NSF-JST Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences), provides $299,271 to Lehigh University to develop a novel, human-centered, multi-scale flood risk management modeling framework. The project aims to enhance understanding of comprehensive flood risk by creating a modeling system that considers natural conditions, human perceptions, and policy factors, with a focus on the differential impacts on vulnerable groups. Key...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $149,999 supports research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to improve climate migration modeling and planning through August 2023. Funded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), key products include refining scientific models to better project domestic population movement driven by environmental disasters. Researchers will enhance data sources such as the American Community Survey and novel online data to dynamically simulate...
This $398,891 Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) explores participatory transformation of barrier islands to enhance coastal resilience. The key objectives are to: Identify "acceptable" locations for allowing sections of barrier islands to naturally erode and "return to nature" to mitigate flood risks at nearby communities. Quantify reductions in flood risk from these "extreme...

This $650,910 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) will fund a collaboration between the University of Kansas Center for Research, Texas Tech University, and Stony Brook University to develop decision-support tools and resources for communities to implement equitable managed retreat programs as a climate change adaptation strategy.

The key products to be delivered through this 3-year project include:

  • Analysis of past managed retreat initiatives to identify best practices, challenges, and complexities
  • Comparative case studies of managed retreat programs across the U.S., Canada, and Indonesia to understand community needs and constraints
  • Development of decision criteria and summary briefs on future risks and vulnerabilities
  • Co-creation of contextually-relevant decision-support tools, such as training modules, best practices guidebooks, and community engagement toolkits

The project aims to strengthen international partnerships and transform understanding of managed retreat as an adaptation strategy to reduce flood risks and advance social justice for disproportionately impacted communities.
