This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $126,709 to Colorado State University (CSU) focuses on rapidly assessing air quality during wildfires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) of Southern California. The key products and services to be delivered under this 1-year project include: Sampling and speciation of air pollutants emitted from WUI fires, with a focus on assessing the contribution of structure fires to concentrations and impacts...
This $199,669 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program will fund a rapid assessment of indoor and outdoor air quality in 20 Maui, Hawaii residential households affected by the 2023 wildfires. The project team from Harvard University and the University of Hawaii at Manoa will measure levels of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to evaluate the impact of the fire-related air pollutants....
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports field research to collect, archive, and characterize airborne particulate matter samples during and after the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025. The key objectives are to: 1) collect and archive particulate matter samples, 2) quantify the concentrations of toxic elements, 3) disseminate findings to inform public health recommendations, and 4) share collected materials with...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to conduct research on wildfire-generated nanoparticles and their impact on human health and the environment. The research aims to: 1) determine how temperature, composition of combustible materials, and soil composition influence the metal chemistry of fine particulate matter; 2) identify the mineralogy, metal associations, and morphology of these particles; and 3) examine how...
This $649,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research exploring the impact of future land use change on global air quality and nutrient deposition. Specifically, the awardee, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will couple land use output from the Community Land Model simulations, driven by Shared Socioeconomic Pathways scenarios, to the GEOS-Chem global chemical...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $200,769 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder's Office of Contracts and Grants from May 2021 through April 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds collaborative research on the atmospheric formation and implications of secondary organic aerosol from glycols and glycol ethers. The Geosciences program supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated...
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 awarded a $439,953 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will fund research from May 2021 to April 2026 to study the physical transformations of aerosols after transport between indoor and outdoor environments. The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Boulder, will deliver research examining how aerosols change as they move...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research initiative to investigate the impact of the Palisades and Eaton wildfires on volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in the Los Angeles area. The $137,592 award, granted on March 15, 2025, will fund: (1) measurements of VOC levels during the intense fire period from January 11-30, 2025, and (2) follow-up measurements 1 year later to establish a baseline for...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $599,872 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports research to advance understanding of wildfire impacts on stratospheric chemistry through several linked components. MIT will study the chemical impacts of increased hydrogen bromide solubility in organic aerosols from wildfires and ozone production in stratospheric air from wildfire emissions. Researchers...
