- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded Clemson University $549,922 on August 15, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop statistical tools and hydrologic models that quantify shifts in the magnitude and timing of extreme hydrological events such as floods and drought, identify the direction of change, and determine underlying mechanisms driving these shifts. The project will produce open-source...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $400,000 to Clemson University will develop a next-generation flood computing system called "FLOODENGINE" to improve flood forecasting and analytics. The project will leverage smart cyber-physical systems (SCPS) capabilities to optimize data gathering and processing, develop a physics-based deep learning model, and promote knowledge transfer through innovative networks. The goal is to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $274,573 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under CFDA Program #47.041 Engineering. The award, which runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to develop a resilience assessment framework that tracks the accumulated costs of nuisance floods as an indicator of sea-level rise. The project aims to use this information to...
- This $394,768 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to strengthen the adaptability and resilience of underserved communities to climate uncertainty through interdisciplinary research and training. The key activities include: Training minority students from underserved regions on climate change adaptation and resilience, equipping them with skills to address environmental challenges and serve the future workforce....
- 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 $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
- This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund an Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at East Carolina University's Coastal Studies Institute. Over three years, the project will engage undergraduate researchers from diverse backgrounds in team-based research investigating coastal resilience challenges across communities in the face of climate change impacts like sea level rise and extreme...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to Clemson University for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The grant supports research under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) federal grant program to develop human-AI teaming approaches for flood evacuation decision making. Specifically, the university will leverage its expertise in artificial intelligence and disaster response to create tools and...
- This $322,052 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) funds collaborative research on hybrid flow-sediment-structure interaction analysis of extreme scour due to coastal flooding. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, on behalf of Stony Brook University, will analyze the interaction of water flow, sediment transport, and infrastructure to better understand scour hazards during coastal flooding events. As the NSF Engineering...
- This $673,418 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to improve understanding of monthly flood dynamics over the southeastern and south-central United States. Specifically, the university will quantify shifts in flood climatology, identify moisture delivery pathways for floods, and attribute sources of modulation for floods' spatiotemporal variability. Researchers will examine historical...
The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded South Carolina State University $199,421 on September 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to advance forecasting tools for coastal flooding and extreme rainfall in South Carolina. The project will investigate relationships between large-scale oceanic and atmospheric variability and regional extreme precipitation and sea-level variability. Historical climate observations will be analyzed to identify dominant atmospheric and oceanic patterns associated with hydroclimatic variability and to quantify climate processes influencing regional predictability. These insights will be incorporated into hybrid forecasting tools to support emergency managers, planners, public officials, and coastal communities in preparing for hazardous weather events and strengthening climate resilience. The work serves the national interest by protecting lives, property, infrastructure, and economic resources in vulnerable coastal regions while providing research, training, and educational opportunities for undergraduate students in STEM fields. Performance is based in Orangeburg, South Carolina, with work extending through August 31, 2028. The award funds research through an Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) grant, which targets early-career faculty at institutions including historically Black colleges and universities.
