The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $970,381 Cooperative Agreement to Iowa State University under the NSF Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to promote the development and adoption of N2O- and CO2-relieved nitrogen fertilizers (green urea) to mitigate the impacts of climate change on Midwest farming and ranching communities. The project brings together a multidisciplinary team from Iowa State University and Wichita State University to...
This $1,300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports an interdisciplinary research project at Iowa State University to explore sustainable electro-manufacturing processes for producing ethylene and ammonia. The key research tasks include: Bicarbonate concentration and separation via anion-specific membranes and electrodialysis Green ammonia synthesis through high-throughput alkaline...
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 $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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $500,000 in funding to Kansas State University from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.

This $462,455 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Iowa State University of Science and Technology supports research to develop catalysts for the selective conversion of nitrate pollution to nitrogen gas or ammonia. The project will use computational modeling to understand how the atomic-scale structure and composition of nanoparticle catalysts can control the selectivity of these electrocatalytic transformations. The research...
Iowa State University will receive $329,856 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for the project "Valorization of Solid Digestate through Autothermal Hydrothermal Liquefaction" from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024. The project aims to develop a calorimetric hydrothermal liquefaction reactor to intensify the process through direct autothermal operation. This approach will overcome heat transfer bottlenecks and allow for scale-up by providing...
This $1,700,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to develop a bioelectrochemical process to capture and recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value chemicals using microbes. The project aims to create a circular economy by transforming CO2 into acetic acid, which will then be used as a feedstock for engineered Escherichia coli strains to produce sustainable biomaterials. Key activities include developing...
