This is well suited to US research institutions leading global collaborations.
ResearchersSchools & universitiesBroad eligibilityEngineering for Civil Infrastructure
No deadline listedU.S. National Science Foundation · Amount varies
This NSF program funds fundamental research on civil infrastructure resilience — buildings, water/wastewater systems, energy infrastructure, and transportation — including how these systems withstand climate change and extreme hazards like earthquakes and floods.
