This $2,951,090 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports an interdisciplinary research project focused on addressing the disproportionate impacts of climate change and flood risks in vulnerable communities across the U.S. Gulf region. The project is being led by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, in collaboration with five other institutions including Tuskegee University, the University of Alabama, and...

This $250,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project to transform industrial and biomass wastes into sustainable, low-carbon construction materials using negative emission technology. The project aims to address the disproportionate impacts of hazardous waste and climate change on low-income and minority communities. The project is a consortium led by Alabama A&M University,...

This $250,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the development of a Global Center on Climate Change and Clean Energy with Southeast Asia as a living lab. The project, led by the University of Illinois, assembles a team of U.S. and Southeast Asian researchers to assess climate risks, evaluate impacts, and design adaptation and mitigation strategies to build resilience for vulnerable coastal...

This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (CFDA 19.600), supports the "Advancing American-Style Education in Iraq Through the Center for the Advancement of Higher Education in Iraq and the Innovation Lab for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Engineering Project" undertaken by the American University of Iraq Baghdad (AUIB). The $2,100,000 award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, funds...

This $535,830 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop sustainable technology for efficient atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems. The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) will research novel materials and system designs to extract drinking water from the air, addressing the critical issue of global water scarcity. Specifically, the project will investigate the synergistic effects of water vapor sorbents,...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $100,000 to support the planning and development of a new shared-use, community-scale testbed for research on climate adaptation and disaster resilience. The testbed will serve as a cyber-physical environment representative of real-world community systems, enabling policy design, model integration, and theory development related to climate change impacts and natural hazards. The planning...

This $650,920 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079), aims to investigate the vulnerabilities of community-managed water systems to climate change impacts and identify opportunities to strengthen their resilience. The project will focus on five climate-vulnerable locations globally, including indigenous communities in Kenya, South Sudan, Norway, Canada, and Alaska. Through a combination of climate scenario...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $752,656 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to San Diego State University (SDSU) Foundation. This 4-year award from September 2023 to August 2027 will expand the AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate and Coastal Oceanography (AI2ES) partnership between SDSU, University of California Irvine, and two Hispanic-Serving Institutions. The project will scale up existing AI research and education programs at...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $376,120 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GCR: SCALING-UP TRANSFORMATIVE ADAPTATION THROUGH SOCIO-AGROCLIMATOLOGY" to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The grant, funded through the NSF Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program, supports research to develop a new "socio-agroclimatology" approach linking social processes that influence farmer management choices with land-atmosphere interactions and...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports the CLIMA: Collaborative Research: Multistable Organic Structural Systems (MOSS) project at Iowa State University. The $352,512 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, aims to integrate low-energy mechanisms into structural component designs, enabling them to adapt shapes and configurations with minimal energy input. The research will establish analytical...
