Science - Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center Understanding earthquakes and their hazards Subduction zones host the largest earthquakes on the planet. Their cascading consequences — strong shaking, tsunamis, landslides, liquefaction, fire — make them some of the most devastating natural hazards.
As scientists, we strive to understand the important physical processes that drive convergent plate boundaries, like the Cascadia Subduction Zone. While these lines of inquiry have yielded some of the most important advances in solid Earth geosciences to date, subduction zones are complicated physical systems and understanding their dynamics, past, and future behavior is challenging.
CRESCENT’s science program focuses broadly on developing a better understanding of the Cascadia Subduction Zone through focused collaborations between teams of scientists. CRESCENT’s working groups are teams of scientists, engineers, and educators tasked with developing products that are required to close the gap between science and hazard.
Some working groups will focus on synthesis and integration of existing data into community models that can be used in both basic and applied science applications. Other working groups will develop tools needed to advance our understanding of subduction zone processes in Cascadia. Each group meets regularly to ensure timely development of their tools and organizes training, and topical workshops.
Working groups also collaborate to ensure consistency between their products. Dynamic Rupture, Earthquake Cycle, and Tsunamis Coupling, Seismicity, and Slow Slip CRESCENTs special interest groups will focus on critical and frontier science that will help steer center activities towards its future geohazards goals.
Special interest groups represent areas of interest for CRESCENT that could, with additional support and/or development, become designated working groups. Cascadia Subduction Fluids Tsunami Sources for Hazard Assessment These meetings are devoted to disseminating and sharing CRESCENT-related science with a combination of keynote talks, short-format talks, poster sessions, and career-building events for early-career attendees.

ToWs represent a key forum for the working groups to interact with the community on topics such as data sources, new findings and observations, synthesis methodologies, product dissemination best practices, and other activities.
Topical workshops will be organized around talks, free-form discussion, and breakouts and seek the broadest possible representation of academic participants, federal and state agency scientists, and stakeholders. The inclusion of students, postdocs, and early career scientists aligns with CRESCENT’s workforce development goals. Moreover, topical workshops offer a mechanism for identifying priorities for the seed grant program.

While the activities of the working groups ensure that CRESCENT delivers substantial new understanding of earthquake processes generally and subduction zone behavior more specifically, the center’s scientific program is ambitious and cannot be realized by CRESCENT researchers alone.
CRESCENT’s seed grant program has the dual goal of broadening community participation and increasing the breadth of scientific investigations related to the center’s scientific goals. The center will invite the community to participate in CRESCENT through a proposal call each Fall, to address key scientific challenges identified by the Science Planning committee.

On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleNIH published its 'what we heard' summary on the proposed cap on simultaneous Research Project Grants in August 2026. A four-RPG cap would free $1.3 billion for about 1,900 additional investigators; a two-RPG cap would free roughly $3.5 billion for about 5,200. Respondents overwhelmingly proposed alternatives. Here is what the comment record actually says, what NIH signaled about next steps, and how PIs and research offices should position before a policy notice lands.
Read articleThe White House committed more than $5 billion across 15+ federal agencies to the Genesis Mission, and DOE selected 278 first-cohort projects out of roughly 5,000 applications — the largest response to any DOE funding call ever. Phase I grants run $500,000 to $750,000 over 9 months; Phase II awards reach $6 million to $15 million over 3 years, with one $60 million flagship. Here is the full architecture, the eligibility math, and how to position for the next window.
