PERISHIP Grant Awards

National PERISHIP Awards are grants to be used towards research on "all aspects of natural and human-made hazards, risk and disasters in all disciplines". The program was established by the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Public Entity Risk Institute with support from from the National Science Foundation and Swiss Re.

As the PERISHIP website notes: "The dissertations produced by the fellows will contribute to the body of knowledge in hazards research. Ultimately, the program will foster the development of hazards scholars who will expand the research and practitioner communities."
