This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $192,927 to Florida State University to explore a model-data framework for advancing predictions of red tide events and their impact on respiratory illnesses under changing temperature conditions along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The research focuses on improving red tide forecasting and assessing/mitigating public health impacts through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates earth system modeling, oceanographic/atmospheric data, and health records. Key deliverables include a linked database of red tide and respiratory illness, scenarios identifying environmental drivers of red tides, and risk metrics for public health mitigation. This open-science framework is designed to promote scientific progress and advance national health and welfare by addressing a growing health concern in coastal communities. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has a project period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
