- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of Missouri System received a $519,422 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028. This award supports a multiproxy exploration of the Terminal Ediacaran Stage at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), a region that has remained closed to paleontological study for over 70 years. The research will systematically investigate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $444,296 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct collaborative research on improving the understanding of how two types of copper ore deposits form and developing methods to find undiscovered deposits. The grant, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a graduate student and several undergraduates in mapping, logging, sampling, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $189,117 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "Nature of a Low Velocity Anomaly in the Mantle Transition Zone Beneath the Western Great Plains." The grant period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. Under this award, the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science and Technology campus in Rolla, Missouri will conduct basic...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $512,542 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to develop an integrated imaging system to concurrently measure characteristics of submarine hydrocarbon seep bubbles and drops and the surrounding ocean water structure under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of Missouri System will receive funding to support research delivering an innovative imaging system that can near-simultaneously measure...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $342,692 will support an academic-industry collaborative research project to develop new methods for exploring and discovering copper-nickel-sulfide mineral deposits in the United States. The project team from the University of Michigan and Juniata College, in partnership with mining industry professionals, will test the hypothesis that the ratio of copper isotopes in ground and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $270,013 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to investigate the processes that concentrate critical metals in porphyry copper deposits. The principal objectives are to assess the spatial and temporal variation in ore-forming processes, with a focus on using pyrite as a recorder of changes in metal sources and fluid compositions. The research team, which includes graduate and...
- The University of Missouri System was awarded a $604,342 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund the collaborative research project "SNAPSHOTS OF MIOCENE TO RECENT PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND PALEOECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN THE NORTHERN NEOTROPICS" being conducted between August 15, 2021 and July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program supports basic research projects to expand...
- This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will enable researchers at The Washington University to investigate the biogeochemical processes affecting critical mineral resources in mine tailings and weathered ore zones in the United States. The primary research focus is characterizing rare earth elements in iron oxide-apatite and carbonatite ore waste materials, as well as platinum group elements in weathered ore zones, using...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $321,017 to the University of Missouri System from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The grant supports research to experimentally determine the partitioning of zinc, lead, and copper between brine and dolomite at temperatures and pressures simulating sediment-hosted base metal ore deposit formation. This work aligns with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The University of Missouri System will leverage this funding to generate new scientific insights into the geochemical conditions favoring economic concentrations of base metals within sedimentary basins.
