The following list of individuals and organizations are contributing to this project by providing funding, sharing data and human resources, or by participating in a project advisory capacity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The National Science Foundation (NSF) - The NSF provided funding to establish the FUSE project through a grant under their Biocomplexity in the Environment initiative -  (Grant No. 0410103).

NASA (www.nasa.gov) has recently (March 2005) provided supplemental funding to extend aspects of the FUSE project related to urban influences on precipitation in Houston.

City of Portland, Office of Sustainable Development (OSD) - The OSD is partnering with PSU to help identify policy options for consideration in our modeling scenarios.

City of Houston, Planning and Development Department, Information Technology Division - The City of Houston has provided our project with current as well as archived versions of their COHGIS (City of Houston Geographic Information System) data base.

The Horizons Project at Portland State University - The Horizons project provides the primary data resource for air quality and meteorological data for the Portland area.

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) - The Oregon DEQ is providing expertise with respect to their Clean Air Action Day (CAAD) program andemissions data base for the region. They will also be hosting student interns to facilitate interaction between FUSE team members and DEQ personnel.

Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and METRO - Regional transportation planning interests in Oregon have led to the development of various past and ongoing survey studies to assess the transportation and related activity patterns in Portland. We are working with representatives of ODOT to leverage our efforts accordingly.

Portland General Electric (PGE) and PacifiCorp- Local utility companies have agreed to provide access to hourly load data within the city of Portland to allow us to better understand how energy consumption responds to extremes in weather and air quality. These data will also help us assess whether policy actions/advisories such as "Clean Air Action Days" have any statistically significant impact on energy consumption.

Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC): H-GAC is providing TCEQ mobile emissions data, reports, and related expertise.

Colleagues at other research institutions: Colleagues at University of Houston, University of Utah, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and elsewhere have agreed to provide useful land-use and surface characteristic data for Houston and Portland that have been generated as a part of other projects.
