About this award
The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), operating as Rfcuny - City College, was awarded a $148,770 research grant on January 26, 2024, to develop an alkalinity and inorganic blue carbon monitoring system that credits wetland-to-ocean lateral fluxes in carbon markets and inventories. This grant-funded research initiative will be conducted at City College in New York, New York, with an ultimate completion date of January 25, 2027. The project addresses the growing need for accurate carbon accounting methodologies that incorporate the role of coastal wetlands in blue carbon sequestration—a critical component of climate change mitigation strategies and carbon market mechanisms. This award was made without a set-aside designation, indicating competitive selection based on technical merit.
The Research Foundation of the City University of New York was selected based on its demonstrated expertise in environmental research and monitoring, leveraging the scientific capabilities of City College and the broader CUNY system. As a established fiscal administrator for sponsored research across CUNY, RFCUNY has a track record of delivering federal research awards across multiple scientific disciplines, including climate science and environmental studies. The funding agency for this award is identified as a Civilian Shared Services Center, and the research supports national priorities in understanding and quantifying carbon sequestration through coastal ecosystem processes, which is essential for developing credible and transparent carbon markets and greenhouse gas inventories.
