Prediction of and Resilience against Extreme Events (PREEVENTS)
National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences
Deadline: September 18, 2018
The Prediction of and Resilience against Extreme Events (PREEVENTS) program is accepting proposals for Track 2 projects.

Track 2 proposals should address both of these goals, but not extend beyond what would be typically supported by core programs of the NSF Directorate of Geosciences.
