The USCRP Community
The USCRP is the first organization of its kind. The program is not mandated by Congress, but rather, is a grassroots effort created and led by the federal agencies, academic researchers, and stakeholders that it serves. The program exists thanks to strong support from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Geological Survey, the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association, and university partners. Over 450 members of the coastal community have joined as USCRP members. USCRP has funded 51 academic studies across the United States totaling $11.1 million in funding. The program’s reach is truly national. Universities across the US have been funded to tackle research questions in a variety of environments along all of the nation’s coastlines.
