This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program, provides $184,839 to Christopher Newport University (CNU) and California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) to conduct collaborative research on the interactions of ions at interfaces. The research aims to elucidate the properties that govern the distribution and identities of ions in atmospheric aerosols, which is crucial...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, totaling $413,144, supports collaborative research between Columbia University and Utah State University on surface-specific aerosol chemistry. The researchers will apply unique laboratory methods—surface-specific sum frequency generation and highly-sensitive hyperRaman scattering—together with gas-particle chemical kinetics studies, to characterize processes unique to aerosol surfaces. They will...
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 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 federal Project Grant award of $943,915.00, granted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), supports fundamental research to study aerosol acidity dynamics and their impact on aerosol-cloud processes. The award will fund a multi-institutional research project led by the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) that deploys instrumentation to measure gas and particle-phase composition in the Baltimore, MD region. Key activities...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the oxidation chemistry of organic aerosols in the atmosphere. The research aims to elucidate the mechanistic details of how organic aerosol oxidation can lead to changes in aerosol composition and optical properties, which can influence climate. The project will utilize an innovative methodology...
This $750,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The research team led by Professors Jesse Kroll and William Green will carry out experimental and computational studies to investigate the chemical reactions of organic peroxy (RO2) radicals in atmospheric droplets and particles. The goal is to gain a predictive,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,648 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the chemistry of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and environmental DNA, in aqueous aerosols. The 2-year project, led by Professors Vicki Grassian and Rommie Amaro, will integrate laboratory experiments and computational simulations to study the behavior of these macromolecules at...
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....
