The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is offering a funding opportunity titled "Investigation Into Overtopping Mitigation Strategies," aimed at exploring innovative strategies to mitigate damage from overtopping of embankments and floodwalls. The primary objectives include assessing failure mechanisms of USACE structures, identifying current mitigation practices, conducting laboratory investigations, and developing improved numerical methodologies for performance predictions. This initiative is crucial for enhancing infrastructure resilience and reducing flood damages, with a total estimated funding of $400,000 available for a two-year period. Eligible applicants are non-federal partners of the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit, and interested parties must submit their Statements of Interest by August 13, 2024, with full applications due by August 27, 2024.
