The project will collect new microbial samples from methane seeps off the coasts of Oregon and Washington and employ novel natural language processing AI approaches to predict...
- This $650,001 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by the University of Chicago on the periplasmic biomineralization of semiconductors and semiconductor alloys for living photosensitive biomaterials. The goal is to establish a robust protocol for incorporating light-harvesting semiconductor nanoclusters into the periplasmic space of bacteria, which can enhance the efficiency of chemical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The funding will support collaborative research to empower artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal phytoplankton community dynamics in coastal oceans. The project aims to address the scarcity of in-situ data for estuarine-coastal phytoplankton by constructing a large-scale database of phytoplankton observations, enabling global data sharing. It will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $899,999 Project Grant through its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) on May 1, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research to characterize a novel blue copper ferritin protein in marine phytoplankton and explore how this protein may provide an ecological advantage in iron-limited ocean environments. The research aims to advance the understanding of how iron limitation impacts marine ecosystems and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $441,467 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) to develop a new artificial intelligence (AI) framework for analyzing hyperspectral data to map ore deposits. This 3-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2025, aims to improve the effectiveness of hyperspectral mineral mapping to accelerate the identification of critical mineral resources, enhance the nation's economic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for $111,215 will support research by the Regents of the University of Michigan to study cyanobacteria, nitrogen cycling, and export production in the Laurentian Great Lakes.
