The University of Colorado will conduct a follow up...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $445,636 to Scripps College to support an international research experience for undergraduate students studying the water quality and biodiversity of Bangkok's urban canals. Over a 3-year period from August 2025 to July 2028, the project will enable 8-10 undergraduate researchers per summer to conduct scientific experiments and engage with local communities in...
- This National Science Foundation IRES: Global Problem Solvers in Tropical Sustainable Living (CFDA 47.079) project grant, awarded to the University of Cincinnati in the amount of $438,918 on January 1, 2025, aims to facilitate the development of a diverse U.S. STEM workforce capable of addressing complex engineering challenges related to sustainable living in tropical regions. The project will engage 24 U.S. students in a transformative experience involving semester-long virtual research...
- This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund an Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at East Carolina University's Coastal Studies Institute. Over three years, the project will engage undergraduate researchers from diverse backgrounds in team-based research investigating coastal resilience challenges across communities in the face of climate change impacts like sea level rise and extreme...
- This $398,374 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project examining factors that drive the regeneration of forests in developing regions that have been deforested. The research combines satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the priorities of urban landowners contribute to tree cover gain. The project will expand geographic...
- This $778,590 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports an international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site project led by Texas A&M Agrilife Research. The REU site will provide research experiences for eight undergraduate students per year through a 10-week program split between the Texas A&M University campus and the TAMU Soltis Center in Costa Rica. Students will work with faculty from four TAMU colleges and...
- This $146,700 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to synthesize existing tree-ring proxy data in Southeast Asia and compare it to paleo-streamflow estimates generated by a hydrological model. The goal is to create a seasonal-resolution paleo-streamflow reconstruction for the region and illuminate the mechanisms driving observed streamflow dynamics. The project includes support for two early...
- This $250,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the development of a Global Center on Climate Change and Clean Energy with Southeast Asia as a living lab. The project, led by the University of Illinois, assembles a team of U.S. and Southeast Asian researchers to assess climate risks, evaluate impacts, and design adaptation and mitigation strategies to build resilience for vulnerable coastal...
- This $598,518 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering will fund research exploring links between surface water contamination, sanitation, and disease risk in Costa Rica. Led by the University of Lynchburg, the three-year award running from June 2022 to May 2025 will support coordinated student research projects examining interactions between personal septic systems, municipal wastewater treatment, and pollution of surface and...
This $596,584 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) will fund a research collaboration between the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and universities in Thailand to study the lasting consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on landscape change in tropical crop cultivation. Over three years, the grant will support research by three cohorts of U.S. undergraduate and graduate students, with an emphasis on underrepresented groups. Each cohort of six students will spend a summer in Thailand developing geospatial models, conducting surveys and interviews with farmers, and integrating qualitative and quantitative data to simulate future land use change trajectories. In addition to addressing how the pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact tropical agricultural practices and land use, the project aims to provide students international research experience while training them in skills such as land use science, mixed methods research, and communicating STEM findings to stakeholders.
