- This $363,385 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to measure ecosystem services from urban agriculture. The key objectives are to: Quantify nutrient recycling, carbon sequestration, and cooling effects of different compost inputs and irrigation practices on urban farm soils through a long-term experiment. Extend this research to measure nutrient budgets and fate of compost-derived nutrients across multiple...
- The University of Chicago received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and will support collaborative research testing the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat was a common kill mechanism for major mass extinction events. The research will be conducted between September 2021 and August 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. The goal of the NSF's Geosciences program is to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to strengthen urban stormwater infrastructure and improve water quality management in Chicago. The project leverages citizen science approaches to collect hydrological data and engage the public, while also developing a training program to prepare the next generation of engineers, scientists, and advocates to address challenges in...
- This $131,606 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to strengthen networks of Black, Indigenous and other People of Color working in sustainable regional systems.
