- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded the University of Hawaii at Manoa a $238,015 cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) to develop machine learning modeling frameworks for Hawaiian reef fisheries and ecosystem management. The recipient will create, train, and test universal differential equations models to address three management objectives: assess potential impacts of coral loss on Hawaiian reef fish assemblages,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $290,165 to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa will support a collaborative research project to improve subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasting of extreme hydrometeorological events and their impacts in Hawaii. The project aims to deepen the understanding of intraseasonal climate variability in the central Pacific and develop an S2S forecast system for events like heavy rainfall, flooding,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded the University of Hawaii $149,996 on August 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to capture perishable structural and geotechnical data from the interior of the 121-year-old Wahiawa Dam in Hawaii before remediation work permanently seals the site. The project responds to extreme storms in March 2026 that saturated the wooden-core earthen dam, prompting state-mandated evacuations of...
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $5,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.012) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The five-year award, effective August 1, 2024, aims to enhance coastal resilience within the Pacific Islands. Key objectives include understanding community requirements, developing new and improving existing PACIOOS data tools and services to support coastal climate...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $577,875 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded August 15, 2025, with completion targeted for July 31, 2028. This award funds fundamental research into the eyewall replacement cycle (ERC) in tropical cyclones—a critical meteorological phenomenon characterized by the formation of an outer eyewall while the...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded the University of Hawaii $968,776 under the Meteorologic and Hydrologic Modernization Development program (CFDA 11.467) on July 1, 2026, as a Project Grant. The University of Hawaii will support the National Weather Service in developing the Baseline Risk Integration for Decision Guidance & Engagement (BRIDGE) framework, a scalable approach for assessing community preparedness, vulnerability, resilience, and risk at the county level. BRIDGE integrates hazard, demographic, infrastructure, social vulnerability, and preparedness data into a repeatable analytical framework to support Weather Forecast Office outreach, partner coordination, preparedness planning, and risk communication. The framework addresses a critical gap in current warning and hazard products by providing Weather Forecast Offices insight into underlying community risk drivers—such as demographics, infrastructure, transportation access, housing quality, healthcare access, communications capacity, and local emergency management capability—that drive different outcomes for communities facing similar weather hazards. The effort builds on the Pacific Disaster Center's existing operational capabilities, including DisasterAware and the All-Hazards Impact Model. Performance runs from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027, with work performed in Honolulu, Hawaii.
