Arizona State University, through its Division known as Orspa, was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) on January 1, 2025. This 4.5-year grant, titled "CHIRRP RCN: Catalyzing Flood Justice in the USA," aims to address the issue of unequal flood risks and recovery outcomes across communities in the United States. The project brings together researchers, policymakers, and community organizations to identify and address flood injustice through collaborative research and action. Key activities include hosting workshops, fostering collaboration, and providing graduate student engagement opportunities. The project focuses on two main research themes: (1) mechanisms of urban development and climate change that shape flood risk futures, and (2) broadening participation and co-production of place-based research to address flood justice. The grant seeks to inform public policy and create more equitable flood management strategies to benefit flood-prone communities nationwide.
