- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,898 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) on September 1, 2025. The grant, titled "Collaborative Research: NSF R2I2: Identifying Community Need Based Adaptation and Resilience Priorities in the US Northeast," aims to establish a regional network of scientists, engineers, policy experts, and community leaders to develop and implement adaptation solutions that address the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $319,964 to Northeastern University aims to study how human engineering decisions and landscape changes over centuries have impacted coastal regions. The project uses novel modeling approaches, including agent-based, dynamical system, and participatory modeling, to understand how local-scale engineering interventions can lead to less geomorphologically stable delta landscapes compared to larger...
- 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 $1,745,708 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project team, led by the University of Delaware, will work with researchers and community stakeholders across three EPSCoR jurisdictions (Delaware, Rhode Island,...
- This $756,237 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project is led by the College of Charleston in partnership with the University of Delaware, University of Rhode Island, University of South Carolina, and other...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded Northeastern University a $998,696 Project Grant to evaluate how communities have responded to recent floods and develop new tools to help those communities build resilience to flooding hazards. The project will collaborate with community partners to understand what drives flooding at the local scale, how flood hazards evolve under different scenarios, and how communities have responded to past flood events. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will develop a new decision-support toolkit to help coastal communities in Greater Miami, Florida visualize, test, and prioritize localized climate adaptation and mitigation strategies to improve resilience to sea-level rise. The $196,402 award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, will establish researcher-community partnerships to co-produce modeling tools that examine the...
- This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will work with California coastal communities to produce research and adaptation strategies that address resiliency in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The University of California, Berkeley will lead the project, which aims to: 1) develop scenarios for future shorelines, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) evaluate technical assistance tools and...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research on climate adaptation of housing infrastructure in coastal communities. The $171,674 award to The Johns Hopkins University will develop a novel mathematical framework to analyze interactions between human behavior, built environments, and natural hazards in order to identify pathways for communities to become more resilient to climate change. The project aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will establish a collaborative network of scientists, engineers, policy experts, and community leaders to develop and implement adaptation solutions for coastal communities in the Northeastern United States. The $119,776 award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, aims to reduce flood risks, protect vulnerable populations from extreme heat, and preserve critical coastal infrastructure. The project will engage stakeholders from academia, the private sector, and government agencies to identify and prioritize environmental challenges such as coastal erosion, flood prediction, and localized heat risk assessment. This collaborative, community-driven approach is intended to provide a replicable model for environmental adaptation efforts nationwide.
