The research also aims to...
This $2,228,505 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of a cloud-based, open, and collaborative cyberinfrastructure to enable data-driven exploration and modeling of urban data. The project aims to address two critical obstacles in urban computing: the lack of robust, well-engineered tools and open computing platforms, and the dispersed community of cross-disciplinary...
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 $149,174 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079) supports the development of the Resilience-Recovery Under Attack (RRUA) framework. Led by the University of Florida, this international collaborative project aims to advance resilience science by addressing the unique challenges faced by Ukraine's digital services sector, which has experienced persistent external shocks due to the ongoing...
This $999,944 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a new paradigm for equitable and smart multi-hazard resilience modeling called ENSURE at Rice University from March 2023 through February 2028. The grant aims to advance infrastructure resilience modeling to account for uncertain and evolving conditions while overcoming inequities in underlying data and algorithms. Key products include infusing intelligence from emerging smart systems and data into resilience...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award in the amount of $454,236 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell will advance the field of resilience analytics and enhance the ability of civil infrastructure systems to withstand natural disasters. The key research objectives include: (i) Adapting statistical physics and discrete modeling techniques to predict the type, extent, and functional integrity of damage to structural and non-structural building...
The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded New York University a $1,199,949 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will support the UNIFICATION FOR UNDERGROUND RESILIENCE MEASURES project from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023. The project aims to advance the development and use of research cyberinfrastructure to enable and accelerate discovery and innovation in computing,...
This Project Grant award, totaling $287,739, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The award will support research at the University of Nevada, Reno aimed at developing a next-generation data-informed probabilistic framework for assessing and quantifying the seismic risk to infrastructure. Key objectives include: Leveraging machine learning techniques to map correlations between environmental factors and infrastructure...
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...
This $1,994,481 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of a transformative graduate training program at Portland State University (PSU) to address cascading impacts of extreme events and geohazards across scales. The five-year project, running from September 2024 to August 2029, will train 22 NSF-funded graduate students and an additional 100 students in a transdisciplinary curriculum using a...
This $1,500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) will establish the "Resilient-Net" network to advance research on urban resilience. The key objectives are to: (i) build strategic links among U.S. and international research networks to synergize expertise and resources on urban resilience, and (ii) prepare U.S. students and early-career researchers to solve future urban resilience challenges. The award will connect major networks including those focused on future urban resilience, extreme events, AI, geospatial research, and supply chain resilience. It will generate an open-access platform for data sharing, focused research groups, annual workshops, and workforce development activities. This holistic, interdisciplinary initiative will address the complex interactions between technology, people, and the environment to enhance the livability and economic viability of future U.S. cities. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2029.
