The manikin will measure heat load received by an average body and mimic...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Arizona State University a $413,875 project grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to acquire a high heat compatible magnetic resonance imaging system. The system will be used for interdisciplinary research and education on human thermal exposure and safety in hot climates from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The Engineering program seeks to foster innovation and excellence in engineering research and education to improve...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Arizona State University two hundred thousand dollars on October 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop unified modeling, analysis, and control frameworks for understanding interactions between data center power-electronic systems and the electric grid. The research establishes reduced-order models characterizing how internal power converters, control loops, and...
- This $749,628 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research to advance community-centered, sociotechnical innovation to strengthen urban infrastructure in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan region. The project will engage communities, municipalities, and energy utilities to co-design carbon-neutral energy infrastructure solutions that leverage distributed solar energy and battery storage...
- Federal Project Grant Summary: HEATMIND Platform Arizona State University (ASU) received a $1.25 million Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2029. The award funds development of HEATMIND, an artificial intelligence-powered sensor-based platform designed to objectively monitor and mitigate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University to develop a geostatistical framework for modeling spatiotemporal extremes, such as heat waves, drought, and intense precipitation. The research aims to better understand the distributions of extreme weather events and develop statistical tools to model the associated spatial and temporal trends and uncertainties. The project will...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Arizona State University $899,999 on September 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to understand and interrupt cascading heat failures along the Interstate 10 corridor. The project will map how heat-related failures move across interconnected systems—power, healthcare, labor, insurance, and local services—and test interventions to prevent one disruption from triggering others. The work brings together researchers, practitioners, and community leaders across the I-10 corridor, including rural and urban communities, to develop models and tools that reflect differences in infrastructure, work patterns, health and emergency services access, and local governance. Arizona State University's Decision Theater will integrate atmospheric and geophysical sciences, heat-health science, infrastructure systems, labor economics, insurance analysis, and demography. Studies will characterize heat regimes along the corridor, connect heat exposure and infrastructure failures to health outcomes, and use AI-assisted classification combined with national occupational data and expert judgment to identify patterns. The resulting analysis and tools will help state and local governments identify early warning signs, prioritize resilience investments, protect public health and economic security, and maintain essential infrastructure and services. Performance will occur in Scottsdale, Arizona from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
