## Abstract

Communities across the United States are increasingly experiencing the severe consequences of shifting weather patterns, increased impacts from droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. These strain vital infrastructure, jeopardize public health, and disrupt economies. There is an urgent national need for response solutions that address some of the most pressing resilience challenges, and these require a central hub to coordinate efforts, bridge scientific understanding, and disseminate actionable strategies for resilience. This NSF grant will provide support for a National Office to coordinate a network of Regional Resilience Innovation Incubator (R2I2) projects addressing regional resilience challenges. The National Office will facilitate collaboration, coordinated data management, and effective knowledge sharing among regional resilience initiatives by creating a unified network of NSF supported R2I2 projects. The office will enhance scientific and technological understanding of R2I2 projects by ensuring insights and innovative practices flow efficiently between regional projects and communities nationwide, thus transforming knowledge into impactful action. 

This R2I2 National Office will create a National Research Network and Hub to support the Regional Resilience Innovation Incubator (R2I2) teams. The project will launch in two stages, beginning by forming an advisory board and creating shared understanding, analysis, and participatory
