October 17, 2022 – The National Science Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is announcing awards for 56 teams of civic and academic partners. Each will receive $50,000 in Stage 1 planning grants to support the strengthening of their partnerships and their plans for ready-to-implement, research-based pilot projects. Teams are focused on one of two tracks: “Living in a Changing Climate” and “Resource and Service Equity”. In early 2023, teams from this stage will resubmit to Stage 2 for the opportunity to receive $1 million, 1-year awards to implement their pilot projects.
