The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Strengthening American Infrastructure program now offers support for multi-year collaborative research projects. The program supports research that incorporates scientific insights about human behavior and social dynamics to better design, develop, rehabilitate and maintain strong and effective American infrastructure.
Launched in 2021, Strengthening American Infrastructure is a human-centered, cross-disciplinary research program led by social and behavioral scientists in collaboration with researchers from a wide range of fields including engineering, computer science, education, biology, mathematics, physical sciences and geosciences. Strong, effective infrastructure stimulates innovation and job growth, provides safety and security, improves our quality of life and facilitates community well-being for many years into the future.
