The award will: 1) Coordinate and integrate interdisciplinary knowledge on heat adaptation across disciplines, sectors, and communities; 2) Create the first Global School on Heat Adaptation, providing experiential learning and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) located in Socorro, New Mexico. The goal of this 3-year project is to develop advanced AI-driven tools to help communities and policymakers across the U.S. better understand local risks and plan for resilience to extreme weather events such as droughts, wildfires, flash floods, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,964 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Arizona State University (ASU) to address heat-related concerns and enhance school heat resilience in the Southwest U.S. The project, titled "CULTIVATING SCHOOL HEAT READINESS IN THE SOUTHWEST", aims to develop school-level solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of extreme heat on schoolchildren, staff, and faculty in the region. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $250,000.00 to the University of Illinois to develop a technological solution called "Ember Intelligence" that utilizes drone-mounted infrared sensors, edge computing, and artificial intelligence to detect, track, and forecast the movement of burning embers during wildfires. The goal is to integrate fire science, unmanned aircraft systems, and machine learning to improve real-time...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The award will support development of a closed-loop sensing, modeling, and communications system to aid in wildfire detection, mapping, and prediction from July 2022 through June 2025. The system aims to leverage detailed 3D environmental models incorporating fuel, terrain, weather and other...
- This $1.5 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering, under the CFDA 47.079 Office of International Science and Engineering program, funds research and education activities focused on building decarbonization through artificial intelligence-empowered district heat pump systems. Specifically, the awardee Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and sub-awardees Temple University, Arizona State University, and Drexel University...
This $1,250,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will fund the development of HEATMIND, an AI-powered sensor-based platform to monitor and mitigate the health impacts of extreme heat exposure on firefighters in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The project, led by Arizona State University, brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in AI, pervasive computing, social/behavioral science, user-centered design, community engagement, heat resilience, and hydration science. The goal is to provide firefighters and community organizations with tools to objectively assess heat-related health risks and implement intervention strategies to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of firefighters, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance job performance and satisfaction. The developed technologies could also be adapted for use in other heat-exposed occupations, such as construction, mining, and agriculture. The award commenced on October 1, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2029.
