Award Overview
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded $616,762 to the University of California, Berkeley, on September 1, 2026, for a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program project titled "A Computational Framework for Rare-Event Resilience Planning and Education in Infrastructure Systems." The award is scheduled for completion on August 31, 2031. Deliverables and Services
Under this project grant, UC Berkeley will develop computational methods and tools to strengthen the resilience of interdependent infrastructure systems against rare but high-consequence disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, and hurricanes. The primary research deliverables include: (1) adaptive methods to identify high-impact failure scenarios and quantify their consequences across interconnected infrastructure; (2) efficient surrogate models that accelerate risk analysis while preserving decision-relevant uncertainty; and (3) optimization frameworks that prioritize resilience investments across connected infrastructure systems. The project integrates uncertainty quantification, stochastic optimization, and computational surrogate modeling techniques. Educational and public engagement products include citizen-science tools for reporting infrastructure disruptions, immersive learning modules on cascading failures, and open computational resources designed to train the next generation of engineers in resilience planning.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
