The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $797,203 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine). The goal of this 3-year project, with an end date of January 2027, is to better understand how photochemical reactions in the solid or liquid phase of organic compounds affect the key properties of organic aerosol in the atmosphere. The research will focus on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and/or biomass burning organic aerosol...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $816,275 will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 through June 2025 to improve understanding of how photo-oxidants form and influence the chemistry of atmospheric particles under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the award will support measuring photo-oxidant concentrations and reaction kinetics in aerosol liquid water extracts from particles collected in Davis, California. It will also...
This $350,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a collaborative research project between Bowling Green State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The project aims to transform simple one-dimensional molecules into complex three-dimensional structures that can function as chemical sensors. The researchers will synthesize extended viologen-like host oligomers and decorate them...
This $272,363 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Aerodyne Research Inc. supports collaborative research to better understand the oxidation of non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. The project aims to: (1) improve understanding of the formation mechanisms and yields of key secondary atmospheric species such as ozone, formaldehyde, and secondary organic aerosol, which impact air quality; and (2)...
