Project Grant R61NR021961
- This Project Grant award of $386,304.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the establishment of a Research Coordination Network (RCN) to advance scientific knowledge and public welfare through an interdisciplinary collaboration focused on enhancing flood resilience and reducing health disparities in rural Appalachian communities. The RCN will operate through five working groups addressing critical themes, including: (1) geophysical and...
- This $793,443 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) aims to characterize the immediate and cumulative health impacts of extreme weather events in communities within the Gulf and Southeastern Atlantic U.S. coastal regions. The study, conducted by Trustees of Tufts College, will (1) assess community vulnerability to these events based on infrastructure, environmental, and socioeconomic factors, (2) evaluate the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Suny ESF, to conduct research on increasing community resilience to inland flooding. The project will collect hyper-local, individual experience data on the response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina to synthesize lessons learned and...
- 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 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $148,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES: WHERE, WHY, AND HOW POLICIES HAVE SHAPED FLOOD EXPOSURE OUTCOMES." The three-year grant is funded under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's CFDA #47.041 Engineering program, which aims to foster innovation...
- This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards (CFDA 11.609) program provides $399,988 in funding to the University of Delaware. The purpose of the award is to understand the interplay between physical risk and social barriers in accessing acute care (dialysis centers and opioid treatment programs) during a flood, with a focus on the U.S. Mid-Atlantic States. The key activities...
- This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
- This Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $419,900 to North Carolina State University to characterize the microbial risks associated with tidal flooding caused by sea-level rise. The project aims to: Measure indicator organisms, pathogens, and microbial sources in tidal floodwaters to assess contamination sources and risks to public health. Determine the fate of contaminated floodwaters in adjoining recreational waters...
- This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $399,622 supports research into the effects of chronic flooding on coastal migration in North Carolina. Led by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the project will deploy novel sensor networks to detect floods of all sizes at high spatial resolution in identified flood-prone coastal areas. Household surveys and administrative records will provide data on migration intentions, behaviors, and socioeconomic...
- This Project Grant award of $500,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Arizona State University (ASU) aims to address the issue of flood injustice in the United States. The "CHIRRP RCN: CATALYZING FLOOD JUSTICE IN THE USA" project will bring together researchers, policymakers, and community organizations to examine the social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to unequal flood risks and recovery outcomes. The project will...
This Project Grant award for $791,037 from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), under the Nursing Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.361), supports a research project to study the health impacts of inland flooding and identify barriers to healthcare utilization in rural, medically underserved areas affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: 1) Identifying critical health-related challenges encountered during the disaster response and recovery efforts in the affected areas; 2) Facilitating knowledge exchange sessions with health systems in Kentucky and West Virginia that experienced major floods in recent years to support ongoing recovery efforts; and 3) Integrating the collected data with healthcare utilization records to estimate the flood-related changes in disease burden, barriers to care, and exposure pathways, particularly for vulnerable populations in these rural, medically underserved regions. This research aims to guide future preparedness strategies and improve resource allocation to mitigate the health impacts of inland flooding events.
