Welcome to the national office for the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Regional Resilience Innovation Incubator (NSF R2I2) program. The national office serves as the central hub for a nationwide network of NSF-funded R2I2 project teams.
Our core purpose is to help translate and amplify cutting-edge research into practical, localized strategies that build a more resilient future across the United States. We are focused on fostering collaboration, sharing essential knowledge, and connecting teams with partners across sectors to accelerate scalable, real-world solutions
The University of Minnesota has been selected by the U.S. National Science Foundation to house the National Office for the Regional Resilience Innovation Incubator (NSF R2I2) program. Backed by a two-year, $2 million award, the office will coordinate a network of 19 funded NSF R2I2 teams nationwide. The initiative positions the University at the forefront of advancing practical solutions for community resilience.
Are you looking for ways to connect with other R2I2 teams?
We’ve created a Slack workspace to connect the network of researchers, practitioners, community partners, and coordinators working together across the R2I2 projects. Slack is a great way to connect around key topics of interest and to stay up-to-date on news and events.
