Project Grant 2305091
- This National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry Project Grant award of $499,699 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, operating as SUNY ESF, aims to develop a new method for fingerprinting peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) from various sources and chemical pathways. The project, which runs from September 15, 2023 to August 31, 2026, seeks to improve the understanding of PAN's budget in the atmosphere and its influence on air quality and climate. It will support...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,132 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate peroxy radicals, which are highly reactive organic molecules that play a critical role in atmospheric and combustion chemistry. The project aims to develop a new and improved method for measuring these important chemical species using advanced mass spectrometry techniques. If successful, this work will provide...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $254,618 to the Colorado School of Mines to conduct research towards understanding the atmospheric fate of per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The research team will quantify thermodynamic properties influencing PFAS phase partitioning, estimate atmospheric lifetimes against hydroxyl radical chemistry through multiple oxidation flow reactor experiments, and develop...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $492,628 supports collaborative research towards better understanding the atmospheric fate of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research will quantify thermodynamic properties influencing PFAS phase partitioning, estimate atmospheric lifetimes against hydroxyl radical chemistry, and investigate reaction mechanisms. Beginning September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025, the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $211,628 to researchers at California State University, Monterey Bay and Christopher Newport University. The purpose of the project is to use a combined spectroscopic and computational approach to examine the properties that control the distribution and identities of ions at interfaces, which is critical for accurately predicting atmospheric chemistry. The award...
- This CAREER Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $213,206 in funding to the University of California, Merced for a five-year research initiative (August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2030). The primary deliverable is fundamental scientific knowledge regarding the mechanisms and kinetics of peroxy radical (RO2) chemistry under atmospheric conditions where nitric oxide emissions...
- The University of New Hampshire will receive $194,683 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MULTI-PHASE SULFUR AND NITROGEN CHEMISTRY IN AIR AND SNOW DURING ALASKAN LAYERED POLLUTION AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS (ALPACA)." Through this funding, researchers at the University of New Hampshire will analyze air and snow samples...
- 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....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $877,929 supports the acquisition of a high-resolution ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometer at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering. This cutting-edge instrument will enhance a wide range of ongoing atmospheric chemistry and other research projects at UNC, as well as provide new training and educational opportunities for graduate,...
This $178,684 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support a collaborative research effort involving Colorado State University, Brown University, and State University of New York to characterize the isotopic composition of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), an important secondary air pollutant. The goal is to develop new methods to fingerprint PAN sources and chemistry in order to improve understanding of the PAN budget and its impact on air quality and climate. The project will support graduate and undergraduate student researchers, incorporate findings into environmental science courses, and engage K-8 education in local communities. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which runs from September 2023 through August 2026 under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program.
