34 / 100 IPPRA team judgment

This is a geospatial basic-research BAA aimed at Army mapping, geospatial analytics, and related technical advances. The team’s core work is social-behavioral research on risk perception, warning communication, and policy attitudes around climate, hazards, energy, and related issues, so this is mostly outside their program and not a plausible PI-level fit.
