Project Grant 2116184

The Trustees of Princeton University received a three-year, $352,574 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will fund research into the Fluid Dynamics of Speech and the Spatial-Temporal Distribution of Aerosols from July 2021 through June 2024. The research will be conducted at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. As part of its mission to improve engineering innovation and excellence, the NSF Engineering program supports basic research to advance fundamental scientific knowledge with the potential for broader impacts on areas such as health and medicine. This award will further those goals by generating new insights into speech aerosol transmission and dynamics, with potential applications to communicable disease prevention and control.
