Project Grant 2138346
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $797,203 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine). The goal of this 3-year project, with an end date of January 2027, is to better understand how photochemical reactions in the solid or liquid phase of organic compounds affect the key properties of organic aerosol in the atmosphere. The research will focus on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and/or biomass burning organic aerosol...
- This $1,882,550 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the evolution of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation processes in urban atmospheres. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the three-year award to the University of Colorado will investigate the key gas-phase precursors and sources contributing to SOA, and evolution of associated chemistry over the past decade. A six-week field campaign in the Los Angeles area in summer 2022 aims to compare...
- This $201,579 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities will fund atmospheric chemistry research and training at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

The researchers will undertake state-of-the-art measurements to study how sunlight interacts with...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $816,275 will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 through June 2025 to improve understanding of how photo-oxidants form and influence the chemistry of atmospheric particles under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the award will support measuring photo-oxidant concentrations and reaction kinetics in aerosol liquid water extracts from particles collected in Davis, California. It will also...
- This three-year $570,934 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Irvine to study the effects of phase state on secondary organic aerosol partitioning and its impacts on atmospheric processes at regional and global scales. Specifically, the university will implement methods in the GEOS-Chem model to predict glass transition temperatures and viscosity of secondary organic aerosol. Researchers will derive equilibration timescales of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $596,226 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) to conduct research on the reactions of monoterpenes with hydroxyl radicals (OH) and the resulting gas and aerosol products. The objectives of this 3-year project are to: (1) achieve an improved understanding and quantitative description of how molecular structure and oxidation regime affect the gas- and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to quantitatively assess the influence of salt on the aqueous partitioning of water-soluble organic gases in the atmosphere. The $709,720 project, which runs from December 2024 to November 2027, will involve field and laboratory measurements, reanalysis of prior atmospheric chemistry data, and the development of parameterizations for implementation in chemical transport models....
- This three-year, $619,592 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of a multiscale model to predict the evolution of atmospheric soot particles through restructuring processes. Awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the grant supports basic research to advance modeling of how soot particle properties change after emission via contact with trace gases and water vapor in the atmosphere. The grantee, New Jersey Institute of Technology, will develop a...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Aerodyne Research Inc. received a $272,363 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (CFDA 47.050) awarded on August 15, 2025, with completion targeted for July 31, 2028. This collaborative research initiative focuses on conducting chamber studies to advance understanding of volatile organic compound (VOC) oxidation under varying organic peroxy radical (RO2) conditions. The project delivers...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry awarded $549,999 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to SUNY ESF for a three-year project (September 1, 2025 – August 31, 2028) led by Professors Leanne Powers, Nicholas Pflug, and Theodore Dibble. This research project delivers fundamental scientific knowledge addressing knowledge gaps in dissolved organic matter (DOM) photoreactivity in aquatic systems. The research employs a...
This $199,957 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund research at Lafayette College to advance understanding of the impacts of photochemistry on carbonyl- and ammonium-derived aqueous secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Specifically, the grantee will measure the surface tension, light absorbance, and compositions of carbonyl-containing volatile organic compound-derived aqueous SOA solutions under varying sunlight conditions. The research aims to address knowledge gaps regarding how photochemistry affects the size, composition and physical properties of SOA. In addition to advancing fundamental scientific knowledge with implications for air quality and climate change, the grant will support student education through mentoring of two undergraduate researchers. This award falls under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA #47.041), which supports innovation and excellence in engineering research and education.
