This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $200,000 to the University of California, Berkeley to study explanations for ambitious climate policy. The research will compare updated national climate targets and COVID-19 economic recovery packages across several countries to analyze the political and economic drivers of differences in climate...

This Project Grant award of $297,513 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at George Mason University (GMU) to explore how people's beliefs about climate, politics, and other issues shape their decisions regarding environmental adaptation measures. The project aims to develop new conceptual frameworks, methodological tools, and survey-based approaches for analyzing "belief networks" and...

The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded Purdue University a $1.5 million Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to support the Integrated Midwest Partnerships for Actionable Climate Tools and Training (IMPACT2) project. Over a three-year period ending March 2026, IMPACT2 will help agricultural producers and landowners in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa adapt to climate change through the development of online...

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $649,894 to The Ohio State University to develop a novel dynamic optimization model of the global forest and agricultural sectors. The project aims to better understand how climate change impacts the future provision of large-scale land-based carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. The...

The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $649,755 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to the Trustees of Boston University. The grant will fund research from 2022 to 2025 to enhance understanding of the potential consequences of climate change for the economic health of U.S. farmers. Researchers will investigate how climate change impacts domestic crop yields through direct changes in meteorology as well as...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $113,613 to Purdue University to study mechanisms behind participation in conservation programs. The research will examine how financial incentives, social and cultural factors, and individual personalities and values interact to shape willingness to accept payments for environmental conservation. Researchers will combine in-depth interviews with a large-scale...

This $1,000,000 project grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) aims to enhance the climate resilience of rural, agricultural communities in Wyoming.
