This National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Track-2 FEC (Federal-State Cooperative) Cooperative Agreement, valued at $1,010,735 and awarded on September 1, 2023, brings together a multidisciplinary team from Iowa State University and Wichita State University to explore and develop green urea fertilizers that can reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Midwest farming and ranching. The key focus areas of the...
This $649,827 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture will fund research on indirect nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural drainage water, streams, and wetlands in Iowa watersheds. The awardee, Iowa State University, will rigorously measure nitrous oxide from corn and soybean agricultural systems in the Midwestern US Corn Belt. Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas and largest climate change contributor from Corn Belt...
This $462,455 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The award will fund a 5-year research project focused on developing catalysts to convert nitrate pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial wastewater into inert nitrogen gas or ammonia for reuse. The project will apply computational modeling and data science techniques to understand how the atomic-scale details...
This $2,907,825 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) aims to develop and assess agricultural management practices that can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil health and water quality, and enhance the resilience of crop production to droughts caused by climate change. The project is a collaboration among Auburn University, New Mexico State University, and the University of Delaware, with the goal of...
This $250,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Industrial Innovation will support the development of a fiber-optic gas sensing system for agricultural and industrial emissions monitoring by Iowa State University from March 2022 through February 2024. The university will advance a novel, field-deployable, wireless, and multiplexed optical sensor capable of detecting potent greenhouse gases and agricultural health hazards at part-per-million detection limits. This...
The Iowa State University received a $1.2 million Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant will fund the SITS: New Sensors and Experimental Engineering Approaches to Advance Measurements and Models of Nitrous Oxide Emissions project from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. The project aims to establish new sensors and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $282,000 Project Grant to Iowa State University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program (CFDA 47.084) to develop soil nutrient and moisture monitoring probe sensors. The university will advance sensors for agricultural monitoring by designing probes integrated with sensors to continuously monitor soil nitrogen, salinity, and moisture levels throughout corn crop cycles up to four months. The probes aim to optimize...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota were awarded a $400,031 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Isotopic Fingerprinting of Nitrous Oxide Emissions from the United States Corn Belt."
