Project Grant 2449648
- This Project Grant award of $191,614.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to advance disaster decision-making, risk assessment, and management science. The key activities include: Developing a comprehensive, risk-based national shelter accessibility model to account for the availability and accessibility of shelters during disasters. This will enhance emergency managers' understanding of shelter resources and gaps....
- This Project Grant award for $1,250,000, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), will support the development of a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted decision support system called PCEXPLORER (Physical & Citizen Sensing Exploration Tool). The project, led by George Mason University (GMU), aims to address challenges in emergency shelter planning and evacuation strategies for severe weather events...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $323,520 to the University of South Florida (USF) will fund a study examining how disaster-displaced individuals adapt to and integrate into new communities over time. The Principal Investigator will conduct longitudinal interviews with participants who previously relocated after 2017 hurricanes, exploring how their demographic characteristics and the characteristics of their new...
- Oregon State University was awarded a $250,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to improve community wildfire resilience by integrating behavioral science with evacuation modeling. Specifically, the university will study household responses to wildfire risk across four wildland-urban interface...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program grant, awarded to George Mason University, aims to improve the resilience and equity of disadvantaged communities facing the increasing threat of wildfires. The $397,365 project will: (i) quantify disparities in shelter access between disadvantaged and advantaged communities, (ii) optimize access-related equity through short- and long-term wildfire preparedness strategies, and (iii) develop a science-based community-centered...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $297,513 to George Mason University to conduct collaborative research on how scientific messages about environmental adaptation shape people's decisions, especially when their beliefs about the environment, politics, and other issues are closely connected. The project aims to clarify how some individuals embrace adaptation measures, such as flood-proofing homes...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $522,462 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to study how people's movement patterns change during natural disaster events, particularly wildfires. The researchers will use anonymous mobile phone data and spatial analytics to model how communities respond to disasters and how their mobility is impacted. The goal is to develop open-source tools that...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $114,675 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a 3-year longitudinal study on the temporal dynamics of household flood adjustment behaviors. The research team at the University of North Texas will employ a survey design to understand the mechanisms that lead individuals to adopt flood hazard adjustment behaviors over time. The study aims to develop insights that can help emergency...
The National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $324,152 Project Grant to George Mason University for the collaborative research project "Innovating Decision Aids for Sheltering for Natural Hazard Risks." The aim of this 3-year project is to advance disaster decision-making, risk assessment, and management science by incorporating measures of shelter accessibility and evacuation capabilities into national disaster risk assessments. The research will develop a comprehensive, risk-based national shelter accessibility model and integrate these metrics into existing national disaster risk measures. This translational project is co-produced with emergency managers to provide them with the tools and knowledge needed to proactively manage and respond to natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and coastal floods. The research team will work closely with emergency directors, planners, and operators to ensure the developed tools and resources meet their needs and improve the well-being and survival of affected populations.
