The project aims to develop a transformative AI-based framework to generate high-fidelity, physically consistent, and uncertainty-calibrated geoscience data that can enable better decision-making for disaster preparedness, emergency response,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program awarded a $198,769 Project Grant to Colorado State University to plan the expansion of NOAA's Hurricane and Ocean Testbed (HOT) to be AI-ready. The goal is to bridge the gap between the AI community developing promising models and the operational hurricane forecasting community that could benefit from them. The research team, which includes experts in hurricanes, AI, risk...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) aims to advance disaster decision-making, risk assessment, and management science. The $191,614 award to Mississippi State University (MSU) from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 will develop a comprehensive, risk-based national shelter accessibility model. This model will account for both the availability and accessibility of shelters during natural...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a five-year, $589,274 CAREER project grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to The Johns Hopkins University. The project aims to develop next-generation scalable, efficient, and interpretable probabilistic AI infrastructure to enable joint modeling and assessment of cascading disaster impacts from no-notice and short-notice natural hazards, such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research on developing an open-source, AI-enabled synthetic population inventory to facilitate disaster impact studies. The total funding amount is $199,976.00, with a project period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026. The objective of this Early-Concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project is to create a comprehensive and accurate synthetic...
- This Project Grant award of $650,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance fundamental understanding of the long-range predictability and environmental dependency of high-impact cyclones using new observational datasets and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The key products and services to be delivered include: Delineating the predictability limits of high-impact cyclones such as hurricanes and nor'easters using newly developed AI weather...
This $1,250,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to George Mason University (GMU) on October 1, 2025. The grant will fund the development and testing of an AI-assisted decision support system called PCEXPLORER to aid emergency management agencies in shelter planning and evacuations for severe weather events such as flooding and hurricanes. The project aims to create a dynamic knowledge graph using probabilistic graphical models to integrate heterogeneous, real-time data on infrastructure risks, shelter demand, and public behavior. This will enable continual risk analysis to support optimal decision-making for shelter operations and resource allocation under rapidly evolving emergency conditions. The research is being conducted in collaboration with the Virginia Beach Office of Emergency Management and is expected to be completed by September 30, 2028. This work is expected to help communities increase resilience and reduce risk to citizens during severe weather emergencies.
