Project Grant 166900

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $305,000 provides funding to Artyc PBC, a for-profit manufacturer, to develop a novel magnetocaloric cooling system for cold chain logistics. The project aims to create a reusable, refrigerant-free cooling solution that can precisely and reliably maintain refrigerated (5°C) and frozen (-20°C) conditions for temperature-sensitive goods, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and biologics,...

This $164,961 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support planning activities to develop novel research ideas and approaches to address the NSF's "Navigating the New Arctic" (NNA) program goals. The project aims to build partnerships for convergent research guided by local and Inuit knowledge, leadership, and expertise in two Arctic regions to study the impacts of underwater...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $998,527 to Insu Health Design Inc. to refine and optimize a temperature control and insulation system for storing and transporting temperature-sensitive medications, biologics, and other perishable components. The key innovation involves decoupling thermoelectric coolers from the cooled...

This $140,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities will fund research under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) at the University of Delaware from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The grant will support the development of a research agenda on sustainable redevelopment goals for post-industrial extractive sites in the Arctic. A team of scholars will study five case sites across the U.S., Canada, Finland, Greenland, and Sweden to...

This $963,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617), aims to leverage federal investment in facilities and capacity building to attract research to St. Paul Island, Alaska. The key activities to be performed include: Creating short-, medium-, and long-term jobs related to the Bering Sea Research Center (BSRC) activities; building new research and job-creating partnerships;...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,448 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to George Washington University for the "Co-Creating Research for Just Arctic Future Infrastructure Transformations, Resilience, and Adaptation (CRAFT)" project. This effort will bring together researchers and indigenous community members to collaboratively identify challenges and best practices for co-producing knowledge on Arctic infrastructure planning, management, and...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $726,093 to Boise State University for collaborative research on interactions of natural and social systems with climate change, globalization, and infrastructure development in the Arctic. Beginning January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026, Boise State will conduct ethnographic research at the University of Lapland's Arctic Centre through a $XXX,XXX...

This $299,820 federal Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The award aims to experimentally evaluate the heat transfer performance of an oscillating heat pipe (OHP)-assisted cooling system for high-capacity batteries. The research seeks to enhance battery safety, performance, and lifespan, particularly in cold climates, by investigating the transient heat transfer...

This $699,192 Project Grant awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the NOAA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program (CFDA 11.021) supports Armada Marine Robotics Inc.'s research and development of scalable, sustainable ocean monitoring solutions. The key objectives are to develop a new class of uncrewed underwater sensing platforms with enhanced mobility and persistence capabilities that reduce the carbon footprint and single-use waste associated...

This $204,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Chicago to investigate how Arctic sea ice attenuation affects ocean swell, microseisms, and the potential to use seismology as a method for observing sea ice conditions. The key activities include: Analyzing seismic data from stations along the northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to detect seasonal and annual changes in microseisms as a...
