The National Science Foundation awarded a $139,833 project grant to develop isotopic analyses of human tooth enamel. With a completion date of April 30, 2023, this award will support research under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075).
Specifically, the grant will enable the recipient to develop isoscapes and test lead isotope ratios in human tooth enamel. Isoscapes are maps that show spatial variations in isotope ratios, while analyzing lead isotopes in teeth can provide insights about past human exposures and movements. This research aims to contribute to the scientific strength of the nation by furthering basic knowledge in the social, behavioral and economic sciences, as called for under the NSF program. The work will be conducted in Columbia, Missouri.
