Abstract
The US Coastal Research Program (USCRP) was founded in 2016 through a grassroots initiative of scientists, researchers, and practitioners to address nearshore coastal research priorities of greatest relevance to coastal communities and build a skilled US coastal workforce. The USCRP supports academic research to address challenges identified through thematic workshops and pair academic researchers with practitioners to ensure research findings and tools address relevant coastal management challenges. Through these partnerships, the USCRP addresses societally-relevant needs of coastal communities and nurtures the future U.S. coastal workforce. To date, the USCRP has conducted two thematic workshops and funded 13 academic research studies. Herein we provide an overview of the desired characteristics for USCRP’s academic research, summarize accomplishments from studies responding to challenges identified in the 2016 workshop on Dune Management, and provide an overview of ongoing research studies stemming from the 2018 workshop on Storm Processes and Impacts.
