The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) External Grants Office strives to advance the science that underlies EHP products by funding research that poses and tests new hypotheses, develops novel data acquisition tools, analysis methods, and products, as well as improves information dissemination and makes research results more effective in mitigating losses from earthquakes. External grants funded by the USGS EHP further our understanding of the genesis, propagation, characterization, and effects of earthquakes and advance our ability to assess and communicate earthquake hazards and risks.

FWF will make investments in planning, design, and implementation of nature-based solutions to enhance protection for coastal communities from the impacts of storms, floods, and other natural hazards while improving habitats for fish and wildlife.
NCRF is a national program focused on reducing risks to coastal communities. Projects must be located within the coastal areas of U.S. coastal states, including the Great Lakes states, and U.S. territories and Tribal lands. Habitats such as coastal marshes and forests, floodplains, rivers and lakes, dune and beach systems, and oyster and coral reefs can provide communities with enhanced protection and buffering from the growing impacts of natural coastal hazards, including rising sea- and lake- levels, changing flood patterns, increased frequency and intensity of storms, and other environmental stressors.

Simons Foundation Pivot Fellowship <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.simonsfoundation.org%2Fgrant%2Fpivot-fellowship%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ccce-faculty-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C075471de906d494decdc08dd761d1564%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638796589485441314%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=l%2BWUCVgmJEOuqOMradw1WAvUIk%2BknjDcaB22q%2Bt2umo%3D&reserved=0>

Simons invites applications for the Pivot Fellowship program that will support researchers with a strong track record of success and achievement in their current field, and a deep interest, curiosity and drive to make contributions to a new discipline. The fellowship will enable today’s brightest minds to apply their talents and expertise to a new field, and will consist of one training year where the fellow will be embedded in a lab of a mentor to learn the new discipline and its culture. Fellows and mentors must hold a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree in the natural sciences (astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth sciences, neuroscience and physics), engineering, mathematics, data science or computer science — and all subdisciplines therein — and be faculty at an academic institution or hold an equivalent position. Fellows must demonstrate that the fellowship will take place in a new discipline, distinct from their current field of study, within astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth sciences, neuroscience, physics or mathematics — and all subdisciplines therein. In order to receive the fellowship, fellows must be approved by their institution for a full year of leave.

Application:
May 15, 2025

12:00 PM ET

A Pivot Fellowship provides one year of salary support of the fellow’s academic-year salary, whether normally paid over nine or 12 months, and a $10,000 research, travel and professional development allowance during the fellowship training year. Mentors will receive a $50,000 research fund during the fellowship year.

1 yr.

The fellowship will enable today’s brightest minds to apply their talents and expertise to a new field, and will consist of one training year where the fellow will be embedded in a lab of a mentor to learn the new discipline and its culture.

Balancing Human and Natural Assets into a Holistic Water Resource Management Framework<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.waterrf.org%2Fopen-rfps&data=05%7C02%7Ccce-faculty-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C075471de906d494decdc08dd761d1564%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638796589485453061%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Sh7OUPi53DK7B62eW0HYtxZg6gGlsRi9Hviwm%2FFoMk0%3D&reserved=0>

Balancing human and natural needs, uses, and benefits is an enormous challenge in the face of
major change drivers, especially the loss of watershed structural and functional integrity and
pervasive climate change. Managing the challenges of shifting ecological baselines caused by
these change drivers requires new and strategic, ecosystem-based management and decision
support. To address and more effectively manage these complex systems and their interactions
in an appropriate Social-Ecological System (SES) context, a better understanding of the
interdependencies of human systems, geophysical settings, ecosystem structures, and
interrelated vulnerabilities is needed. Holistic, watershed scale Ecosystem-Based Management
(EBM) approaches that link watershed health to aquatic ecosystem health and social benefits
are flourishing.

Application:
May 7, 2025
3:00 PM Mountain

up to $200K

24 mons.

Review and develop watershed condition metrics and assessment protocols for both human and natural asset structures and functions that best describe holistic approach watershed health and benefits in a social-ecological system context.
Evaluate landscape conservation, recovery, and mitigation management strategies to assess their effectiveness in maintaining and improving watershed conditions and achieving aquatic ecosystem health targets along a disturbance gradient.
Build an Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) and Natural and Nature-Based (NNB) decision-support framework to set watershed and ecosystem health goals that support desired social-ecological outcomes. Ensure the framework is adaptable and can be applied to multiple ecosystems and landscapes beyond the initial watershed.
