The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Under this award, the University of Kentucky...
- The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $160,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. The grant will fund collaborative research on toric geometry, tropical geometry, and combinatorial buildings from September 2021 through August 2024. The research...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences Project Grant award for $148,792 supports the project "RATIONAL AND EQUIVARIANT PHENOMENA IN CHROMATIC HOMOTOPY THEORY" at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation (the Research Foundation) from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The key objectives of the research project are to solve open problems in chromatic homotopy theory, including understanding how spheres of different dimensions can wrap around each...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $234,925 Project Grant to the University of Florida. The funding supports research conducted by Professor Kate Carroll to investigate post-translational protein cysteine modifications and the chemical reactivity of sulfur. The research explores how different cysteine thiol group modifications impact the properties of the sulfur atom, which is essential for understanding the role...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $645,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year award will support research into catenated, singlet fission, and semi-conducting cyclic polymers from September 2021 through August 2024. The grant funds will enable the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research to advance scientific understanding of major problems in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under CFDA Program 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $467,272 to support a collaborative research project between Kansas State University and Indiana University, Bloomington. The goal is to develop novel fluorescent molecules and measurement techniques for highly sensitive detection of oxidation-reduction processes, with potential applications in medical diagnostics and fundamental...
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation received a $458,896 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry on January 1, 2022 to support research differentiating the two complementary flavins in a bifurcating electron transfer flavoprotein. The two-year project will be completed by December 31, 2024. The award is being made under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) of the National Science Foundation, which aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The University of Kentucky research aims to advance these goals through differentiated study of the flavin cofactors in a specific electron transfer protein, helping increase fundamental scientific knowledge in the field of chemistry.
