Quick Response Reports

Program Guidelines

The Quick Response Program provides funds for researchers to quickly travel to disaster-affected areas to capture perishable data. In addition to contributing to academic knowledge, this research results in reports that make rapid analyses of recent events available to the Hazards Center's multidisciplinary network of researchers, practitioners, and educators. The program promotes innovation in disaster research by favoring students, new researchers, and novel areas of study.

The Natural Hazards Center will accept proposals for the 2009 Quick Response Grant Program until November 16, 2008. Please review the program guidelines for information on how to submit a proposal. Questions can be directed to Program Associate Jolie Breeden.

Quick Response reports published after 1995 are available online. Earlier reports can be purchased on our publications purchasing page.
