Budget Figures
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USASpending awards are reported on a rolling basis and the fiscal year does not close until September 30. why partial FY2026 data? →

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $4.72M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $3.10M as actual total obligation authority — $1.62M below the request. 3.1 − 4.7 = -1.6 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Social Sciences for Environmental Security
This program supports the Department's initiative to Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. This program funds Department of Defense (DoD) physical climate and social science applied research. Climate and environmental change will impact the full range of U.S. military operating environments. DoD capabilities, until recently, have been aligned toward the historical environmental and geopolitical record; failure to anticipate and plan for the security effects of climate and environmental change holds significant potential to not only degrade DoD readiness and effectiveness but also compound the frequency and scope of novel geostrategic risks and surprises. Efforts under this program will focus on interdisciplinary science and technology that spans physical climate modeling and forecasting and social sciences capable of yielding tangible decision support tools that empower operational planners to prepare for and adapt to the complicated, interconnected security and stability challenges of climate and environmental change. Insights derived from this program will enable Combatant Commands to better engage key partners and allies in efforts to plan for and mitigate risks and promote global peace and stability. The program includes studies, investigations, and non-system specific technology efforts directed toward general military needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and determining their parameters.
Mission — Providing Research and End-user Products to Accelerate Readiness and Environmental Security (PREPARES)
This program will leverage and integrate expertise from operational end users, physical climate scientists and models, tools, and datasets, and social scientists with deep understanding of designated regional and local communities to anticipate and respond more quickly and precisely to climate and environmental change risks and opportunities. The program aims to explore how specific environmental and social indicators might inform strategic reviews to adapt warfighter training and planning in anticipation of climate global trends. The research program will build upon the products of the 6.1 Minerva Research Initiative (program element 0601110D8Z) with a focus on end-user defined mission, geographic, and timescale priorities to forecast local and regional climate and environmental change effects, assess and predict likely societal impacts and responses, and ultimately provide operations planners technically-relevant and operationally precise scenarios to incorporate into Contingency Plans (CONPLANs) and Operational Plans (OPLANs) and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) requirements related to climate change.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
Providing Research and End-user Products to Accelerate Readiness and Environmental Security (PREPARES)
PREPARES will leverage and build upon Minerva products by incorporating their findings into operationally-relevant planning scenarios that accelerate the Department’s understanding of the social, cultural, behavioral, and political dynamics most likely to be affected by climate and environmental change in strategically important areas of the world. By aligning research objectives with the priorities of operational end users who can apply the tools and knowledge products to their areas of responsibility, the proposed enhancement would translate and integrate results from 6.1 strategic and global-centric analyses to provide operational and tactical assessments to inform CONPLAN and OPLAN, focusing on specific regions and detailed scenarios for the warfighter. PREPARES uniquely applies research to integrate physical climate and social sciences and accelerate “research to operations”, directly impacting military operational planning and preparations to mitigate the security risks from climate and environmental change. This effort also will rapidly produce the tools and products the end-users need to sustain data-informed planning and analysis for operations and engagements with partners and allies.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Social Sciences for Environmental Security — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
