Supports fundamental research in geotechnical, structural, materials, architectural, and coastal engineering focused on civil infrastructure resilience, sustainability, and climate change adaptation. Encourages experimental and computational studies addressing multi-hazard impacts on infrastructure such as buildings, water and energy systems, and transportation. Proposals leveraging NSF's Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure resources are encouraged. Research must be theory-driven and avoid topics outside civil infrastructure scope.
Open to any type of entity without restrictions, subject to additional clarifications in the full eligibility text. Proposers are encouraged to consult program officers for scope guidance, especially for multidisciplinary or federally overlapping topics.
