- This $165,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program supports the development of a novel adaptive data collection framework for automated post-disaster rapid damage assessment. The project at Arizona State University's Orspa division will create a Bayesian-based system that analyzes recent observations to dynamically update the trajectories of data collector agents toward areas with the greatest potential for information gain. This will...
- 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) 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $200,000 from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 to Clemson University to build collaborations and capacity to address climate hazards in the Southeast U.S. The project will bring together stakeholders in South Carolina to coordinate efforts and increase resilience to Earth system hazards, such as heat stress, flooding, and pollutant exposures. It will facilitate meetings to engage...
- This $144,887 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The grant supports an interdisciplinary research project at the University of Texas at Austin to develop a dynamic sensemaking framework for understanding decision-making processes during rapid-onset disasters like catastrophic flash flooding events. Key components of the project include: Capturing ephemeral data through...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program aims to enhance disaster response and recovery through improved capabilities of machine learning and autonomous systems for rapid damage assessment. The $458,784 award to Lehigh University will develop a smart technology that leverages big data, autonomous systems, and physics-informed models to address complex problems of hazard projection and real-time...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,796 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park through the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will support the CAREER project "TRANSCENDING BARRIERS BETWEEN NATURAL HAZARD RESEARCHERS, EDUCATORS, AND PRACTITIONERS - AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO MULTI-HAZARD PROBABILISTIC ASSESSMENT" from August 2021 through July 2026. The project aims to improve multi-hazard risk assessment through an integrative...
- This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $100,000 supports research at Purdue University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to strengthen community resilience to natural hazards like earthquakes by incorporating stakeholder priorities into risk mitigation efforts. Specifically, the university will conduct social and physical experiments to better understand vulnerability of pre-1970s concrete buildings and evaluate community...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research and activities related to the National Hazards Center's role as an information clearinghouse for understanding the societal dimensions of natural hazards and disasters. The $1,838,806 award will fund four key objectives: (1) advancing multidisciplinary hazards and disaster research to enhance societal resilience; (2) translating and sharing information across institutions; (3) building connections between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers; and (4) supporting the next generation of hazards and disaster professionals. Key activities include developing the Third Assessment of Natural Hazards, which engages over 100 experts to review 25 years of research, and providing training and funding for quick response research to collect perishable disaster data. The project is led by the University of Colorado in Boulder and runs from Aug 1, 2025 to Jan 31, 2031.
