Northern Illinois University received a $372,594 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026.

The university will operate a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site focused on water resources and quality issues in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico. Five interconnected research projects will examine groundwater flow, anthropogenic pollution, geochemistry, and microbiology. Undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented populations, will work with faculty mentors from four institutions to conduct field research and gain a holistic understanding of water management challenges in the region. Data collected will contribute to knowledge of the regional groundwater system and human impacts. The program aims to train the next generation of water professionals and recruit more diverse participants to STEM fields. Findings will be shared with local Mexican officials and published openly to benefit scientists across North and Latin America. The research is intended to advance water resource stewardship while enhancing undergraduate research training.
