ANNOUNCEMENTS


The Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine seeks to help bridge the gap between the knowledge and practice of community resilience. We seek approaches that will advance information exchange between resilience researchers and those that seek to implement policies and practices to enhance the resilience and well-being of their communities. Specifically, we are interested in projects that:

  1. Increase understanding of how community attributes and systems (e.g., social, health, economic, and/or environmental) interact and influence a community’s capacity to adapt and thrive, and
  2. Provide actionable information and strategies that can be used to implement policies and practices that enhance community resilience.

Projects should address multiple stressors and focus on linkages among the various attributes and systems that characterize the U.S. Gulf of Mexico region. Projects should directly involve and benefit residents of the Gulf coast who are affected by stressors associated with climate change, severe weather, or chronic impacts of environmental degradation.
