Small Grants

2026-27 Seed Grant Awards

The CRESCENT Seed Grant Program has the dual goals of broadening community participation and increasing the breadth of scientific investigations related to the center’s goals. The center invited the community to participate through a proposal call to address key scientific challenges identified through CRESCENT’s three major pillars. This year we had 33 seed grant applicants of which 11 were funded.

Subduction Zone Science Week 2027

January 12-15, 2027
Subduction Zone Science Week will convene the nation’s leading subduction zone researchers, federal scientists, engineers, and community partners to integrate global and Cascadia-focused knowledge across earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides, and cascading hazards.

Subduction Zone Science Week is co-organized by the USGS and CRESCENT to focus broadly on the subduction zone natural hazards and community resilience. The goals are to:
– Foster collaboration between subduction zone and multi hazard researchers;
– Bridge gaps, and increase communication among subduction zone research groups; and
– Identify and encourage synergistic collaborative activities in U.S. and global subduction zones.
