Creative Crisis Leadership (CCL) is looking for experts in climate-change-related earth systems science to round out our team for a grant proposal.

The proposal is to the NSF Regional Resilience Innovation Incubator (R2I2) program, which aims to:
  • support community-engaged team science to co-design high-impact solutions to climate-related societal challenges that leverage recent advances in fundamental climate change and Earth system science research.
    • Each R2I2 project will address specific regional climate challenges and will develop and demonstrate solutions to those challenges that can be effectively applied in real-world settings.
    • Investment in R2I2 will leverage past federal investments in addressing climate change and will provide a bridge connecting advancements in basic science with local knowledge, informed decision making, and technological innovations for societal applications.

The aspect of this grant that we propose to address is community engagement and education. Our basic argument is that, without community education, involvement, and engagement, even the best climate solutions will go nowhere. Our solution to this problem is to foster community participation through experiential learning and gamification.

However, we need someone with an earth systems background to add to the team (either as a project partner or as a scientific advisor) who can provide us with a juicy bit of "knowledge gained from research in Earth system science" to inform and guide our pilot project.

Current partners are Creative Crisis Leadership (expertise in experiential learning and gamification for community engagement) and UCSC (expertise in serious gaming and assessment). Both partners are currently working in wildfire preparedness and community resilience, so we're looking to tie into wildfire.

Here is the program description and CfP:

Here is my cheatsheet drawn from the CfP:

The Letter of Intent is due on Dec 16, the full proposal on Jan 16.

If you, or someone you know, might be able to connect us with the right expert, please get in touch with Susanne Jul at SJ...@CreativeCrisisLeadership.org. Or forward this email.

Thank you for your help!
