Madison Graham, KU doctoral student in behavioral studies, was awarded a $15,000 research project from the Natural Hazards Center for Tornado Ready Research.

Graham submitted as Principal Investigator to the solicitation with two co-investigators on the project: Brett Gelino, former KU PhD student and current post-doc at Johns Hopkins University, and Elaina Sutley, associate professor of civil, environmental, and architectural engineering at KU.

The project is titled “Safe Room Sheltering in Kansas Manufactured Housing Communities: A Behavioral Economic Analysis.”

Sutley says that Graham’s new grant will complement her research on the ARISE project.
