Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station
The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES), the nation’s first research station of its kind, was founded in 1875 to leverage scientific knowledge related to environmental quality, plants, agricultural production, and human health for the good of society. The small separate state agency has a history of economically and scientifically important discoveries and currently conducts research at four facilities, which include laboratories and farms. CAES supports Connecticut's agricultural producers through education and research on climate impacts.

Consortium on Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (CCRUN) - RISA
CCRUN is a member of NOAA's Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program, which supports climate research for decision-makers and policy planners at a regional level. The consortium, encompassing the Boston-to-Philadelphia corridor; serving stakeholder needs in assessing and managing risks from climate variability and change. The RISA is structured as a nodal network covering the relevant parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in order to serve local needs for targeted climate-risk information in a coordinated way, with partners from Columbia University, City College of the City University of New York, Stevens Institute of Technology, the University of Massachusetts, and Drexel University.
