The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program to support planning activities for a proposed research project. The award recipient, the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of the State University of New York at Buffalo, will convene workshops and meetings from April 15, 2022 to March 31, 2023 to develop an interdisciplinary team investigating the use of genetically engineered diatoms to produce hybrid biomaterials for sustainable architecture. Specifically, the grantee will facilitate workshops and subgroup meetings to strengthen communication across disciplinary boundaries and build an inclusive research team engaging diverse stakeholders. The planning activities aim to prepare graduate students in technical and soft skills needed for leading interdisciplinary innovation in sustainable living materials technology applicable to shoreline remediation and construction.
