This Project Grant award, totaling $472,478.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University for a collaborative research project titled "Collaborative Research: GOE-ing Deep into the Paleoproterozoic of Gabon to Elucidate the Causes and Effects of Earth's Great Oxidation". The primary objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) create a detailed stratigraphic framework and isolate primary magnetizations to examine facies and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $944,249 to Southern Utah University (SUU) to implement the PROSPER PUIS project. The primary goal is to increase faculty participation in sponsored research at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and enhance the national research enterprise. The project will integrate Sponsored Project Managers (SPMs) and Graduate Assistants (SPGAs) into the research infrastructure...

This Project Grant award, with a total funding of $500,000.00, is provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The primary objective is to establish an approach for Design for Product Evolution (DFPE) that considers the dynamic nature of customers' preferences and how they are affected by information received through social networks. The research will pursue three main thrusts: (1) extending a Decision-Field Theory-based model to a multi-decision...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program) provides $298,683 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to develop an open-source ecosystem called STARMAP. STARMAP aims to lower technical barriers and empower city/county agencies, researchers, educators, and citizen scientists to easily explore and exchange geospatial data such as maps, satellite imagery, and location-based statistics. The...

This $622,016 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the collaborative development of a novel self-powered, multimodal pH, pressure, and temperature MEMS sensor system for marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) monitoring. The project involves researchers from the University of North Texas, University of Michigan, and University of California San Diego working to design, fabricate, and test this innovative sensor array to provide...

This $521,274 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports two years of funding for the U.S. GEOTRACES Project Office. The Project Office will coordinate and support the activities of U.S. investigators fulfilling the GEOTRACES mission to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of key trace elements and isotopes in the ocean. This includes making global ocean observations, conducting data management and...

This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program will support the development of an intuitive design platform for sustainable multifamily residential buildings. The grant recipient, New Jersey Institute of Technology, will create a collaborative parametric design system allowing architects, engineers, developers and other users to quickly generate and modify schematic designs and dynamic 3D models through simple sketch-based...

This Project Grant award of $428,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to investigate how problem formulation influences design exploration and decision-making in engineering design and systems engineering. Through controlled experiments with engineering students and practitioners, the research seeks to inform evidence-based guidance to improve problem formulation practices, with the potential to reduce design cycle times in both educational and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $100,000 to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct laboratory experiments on hypothetical exoplanet compositions. The project, titled "GLOW: Exploring Effects of Rocky Exoplanet Composition on Habitability and Target Selection," aims to acquire fundamental data on how planetary composition influences long-term habitability and cooling. The key products include: 1) conducting...
