Current Scholarship

• Pending - NSF CIVIC Innovation Grant - Stage 2, 03/01/2023

  This is a more fully funded and expanded version of the seed grant. If funded, it will run 10/23-9/24.

• NSF CIVIC Innovation Planning Grant - ENDURE, 10/01/2022

  Team members will develop a holistic framework that will assess the resiliency of the power infrastructure, while capturing the changing climate. This framework will have a dynamic nature, as it will be able to update predictions as new information becomes available. The framework is a GIS dataset with the ability to do spatial analysis and show utilities and their customers where damage might or has occured and how many people are affected. The outcome of this research grant will directly contribute to enhancing the resilience of electric power networks. Recognizing climate change effects and their consequences, in terms of frequency and magnitude of extreme events, this grant’s ultimate goal is to assist communities in Iowa and beyond to benefit from a more reliable and resilient power system.

• AmericaView Program Development - K/12 Teacher Outreach for GIS and Remote Sensing, 09/18/2022

  AmericaView is a national consortium that advances Earth observation education through remote sensing science, applied research, workforce development, technology transfer, and community outreach. ISU has been part of the consortium since 2014.

  The 2022-23 Iowa project continues to focus on building Iowa’s K-12 earth observation education network through increased GIS and remote sensing knowledge.
