colorado. edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cerrato-Photo. jpeg Quick Response Research Award Program The Natural Hazards Center’s Quick Response Award Program provides training and funds for researchers to quickly collect perishable data following disasters and other extreme events.
As an effort to expand academic knowledge, funded researchers will submit abstracts and brief reports to be published on the Natural Hazards website to share with a multidisciplinary network of researchers, practitioners, and educators. The program promotes social science innovation in hazards and disaster research. This Natural Hazards Center’s Quick Response Award Program is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Therefore, we use similar qualifying criteria to judge proposals and expect a high level of scientific rigor. Each proposal must speak to both intellectual merit —describing the potential of the proposed activity to advance knowledge—and broader impacts —detailing the potential of the proposed activity to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes.
The Quick Response Award Program promotes new knowledge and perspectives by prioritizing research that fills gaps in the literature and is unlikely to be funded rapidly by other means. Although a variety of rigorous empirical research designs are acceptable, proposals that are theory-driven and use widely recognized scientific methods to examine social, behavioral, and organizational phenomena are preferred.
In addition, the program seeks to fund research that is likely to be extended or more broadly disseminated. The program also has a long history of training and supporting students and emerging researchers, and members of these groups are encouraged to apply.
As award recipients, researchers are encouraged to complete CONVERGE Training Modules , utilize the CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series , conduct field work, and write an abstract and brief report for distribution to the hazards and disasters community through Center publications and news outlets, to make research findings quickly and broadly available.
Most Quick Response-funded researchers go on to publish final results in academic journals or reports with acknowledgement of Center support. When this occurs, the researcher provides a reprint of the final publication to the Center library, expanding its disciplinary reach. Award Details At-A-Glance Available funds will support awards up to $5,000 each.
The lead researcher must be from an academic institution based in a U.S. state, territory, or tribal nation . Other research co-leads, research assistants, or local collaborators do not have to be affiliated with a university or located in a U.S. state, territory, or tribal nation—they cannot, however, serve as the project research lead and primary award recipient.
The geographic focus of the research can be outside of the United States. However, authors must be able to demonstrate that the findings are applicable to a U.S. disaster context. The five-page, single-spaced proposals should follow the Quick Response Proposal Submission Guidelines .
A 20-page, double-spaced report summarizing project activities, findings, and actionable recommendations for policy or practice is due within six months of award activation . Proposals for the quick response research award program will be accepted on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted.
Preference will be given to researchers and research teams who: Demonstrate how the proposed work will build on existing knowledge and fill a gap in the literature, implement a novel and replicable research design, or focus on an understudied group or topic with promise for practical application. Clarify how they will responsibly access people or areas affected by disaster to collect perishable data .
Events should have occurred within 6 months or less of proposal submission. Articulate how the results will be applied. All proposals should follow the Natural Hazards Center’s Quick Response Proposal Submission guidelines .
Proposals and supporting materials should be uploaded using our online proposal submission form . Please contact the Natural Hazards Center at haz. research.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
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 articleWith Forms J in FY2027, NIH will no longer accept letters of support — the boilerplate endorsements applicants have padded proposals with for decades. Notice NOT-OD-26-094 replaces them with letters of collaboration, aligning NIH with NSF. Here is exactly what changes, what a compliant letter must now contain, who can no longer write one, and how this fits the broader re-engineering of the NIH application package.
