This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $400,000 supports research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham from January 2023 through December 2025 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The award will leverage the space environment to study the molecular mechanisms by which the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae causes cardiac toxicity and infection. Researchers will use a cardiac tissue chip model on the International Space Station to identify critical factors that allow S....
This $320,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and other institutions to study crystal growth and particle self-assembly during directional solidification in microgravity conditions on the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to reveal the subtle forces involved in growing solvent crystals and forming particle assemblies, which...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program Project Grant award of $455,126 will support research by The Regents of the University of Colorado to quantify and model the transport of bacteria in porous media like soil. The 5-year project aims to improve our understanding of how bacteria interact with the complex flow landscape in soils, which could inform strategies to control bacterial transport and prevent the spread of pathogens in groundwater, promote sustainable agriculture by...
This $420,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research on the effects of microgravity conditions on crystal growth and particle self-assembly during directional solidification of solutions. The research aims to reveal the subtle forces involved in these processes when gravity is removed, and compare the structural features obtained in microgravity versus on Earth. The research will integrate experimental...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $270,000 will fund research at the University of California, Berkeley from August 2022 to July 2026 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The research aims to study particle adsorption dynamics at fluid interfaces under microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station.
