This Project Grant award of $177,996 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a multidisciplinary research project investigating the spatial and temporal interactions between urban heat islands (UHI) and urban pollution islands (UPI) at the neighborhood scale. The project aims to develop new geographical methods to transform knowledge about the patterns and drivers of these phenomena, which pose critical health and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant, under CFDA program 47.050 - Geosciences, provides $291,216 in funding to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), part of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), to develop an urban modeling system that examines the interaction between the urban heat island, outdoor water, and air pollution. The project aims to improve understanding of how cities and their excess heat, vegetation irrigation, and...
This $389,417 National Science Foundation project grant supports atmospheric particle formation research at Augsburg University from December 2022 through November 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The university will conduct laboratory experiments to enhance understanding of new particle formation processes in the atmosphere, focusing on sulfuric acid/water and ammonia systems as well as oxidation products from organic compounds. Experiments using two flow reactors will...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant totaling $150,354 to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on March 15, 2025. The grant supports a 5-year research project titled "CAREER: Advancing Understanding of Atmospheric Micro- and Nanoplastic Particles: From Chemical Characterization to Climate Impacts." The project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sources, spatial concentrations, chemical processes, and climate...
The University of Alabama in Huntsville received a $349,440 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on August 15, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2022. The grant funds the acquisition of instrumentation for real-time molecular level measurement of atmospheric gas- and particle-phase compounds under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA #47.050). This program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $450,000 over 3 years to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to investigate the growth mechanisms of atmospheric aerosol nanoparticles. Professor James Smith and his research team at UC Irvine will perform laboratory experiments to study the composition, formation, and physical/chemical properties of atmospheric nanoclusters ranging...
This $1.1 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of Texas at Austin to quantify intermediate-volatility and semi-volatile organic compounds in urban air samples throughout the Austin metropolitan area. Using a mobile lab equipped with advanced mass spectrometry, the university researchers will conduct high-resolution mobile and...
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 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...
