Addressing the complex challenges to increased extreme weather impacts on communities in the Gulf Coast region requires connected and interdisciplinary approaches, in addition to strong institutional partnerships. Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) bring essential community knowledge, research expertise, and long-standing regional engagement that can enhance the design and implementation of public health and resilience strategies in preparation for future climate emergencies.

To explore ways to strengthen partnerships and address institutional barriers in the Gulf region, the Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on February 20, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Workshop participants explored opportunities for HBCUs and MSIs to expand their leadership in community-engaged research on extreme weather events and environmental stressors on human health and resilience. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
