Project Grant 2512100
- This $200,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to conduct collaborative research evaluating paradigms in phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycling. The study will determine the role of the atmosphere as a supplier of P, a key soil nutrient, to ecosystems by reconstructing how P cycled over time using lake sediments. The research aims to re-evaluate established paradigms...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), focuses on understanding the carbon cycling and methane dynamics of tropical peatlands across the Pan-American region. The $826,235 award, effective from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable researchers at Stanford University to conduct systematic field measurements and data analysis to gain insights into the hydrological thresholds, peat...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Stanford University from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Changes in Hyporheic Exchange and Nitrous Oxide Generation Due to Streambed Alteration by Macro-Roughness Elements" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $296,375 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the project "Collaborative Research: The Effects of SUP05 Cells and Virocells on Nitrogen Cycling in Marine Oxygen Minimum Zones." This interdisciplinary study aims to evaluate the role of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) in regulating nitrogen cycling and loss processes...
- Stanford University was awarded a three-year, $751,285 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research to quantify nitrogen fixation rates of non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs and environmental controls on their activity from April 2021 through March 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's mission to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic...
- The Leland Stanford Junior University received a $327,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on meteor evolution modeling from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The research will develop new physics-based computational models to simulate meteor ablation, plasma dynamics, and interactions with the spatially variable upper atmosphere from sub-microseconds to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $499,036 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to investigate the role of phosphorus in stabilizing soil organic matter. The project aims to describe the mechanisms by which organic and inorganic phosphorus control the adsorption and stabilization of mineral-associated organic matter through laboratory and field experiments, spectroscopic and microscopic analysis. The research...
- This $465,365 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate whether diatom mats in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre obtain nitrogen from symbiotic nitrogen-fixing microbes. The principal investigator, Stanford University, will characterize the microbiome of Rhizosolenia diatom mats and assess their ability to fix nitrogen. This project aims to expand scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system by...
- The National Science Foundation awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University a $390,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The grant funds the Stanford SURGE - Sustainability Undergraduate Research in Geoscience and Engineering program, which will provide mentored summer research experiences for 30 undergraduate students in areas related to sustainability. Students will be matched with Stanford Doerr School of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $817,973 in funding to The Leland Stanford Junior University to participate in a multinational research consortium focused on improving decision support systems for schistosomiasis preparedness and control in the face of global changes. The collaborative research aims to enhance understanding of the complex linkages between climate, environment, and human health in order to help address...
This $500,004 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) will support a collaborative research study evaluating paradigms in phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycling. The research aims to determine the role of the atmosphere as a supplier of P, a key soil nutrient, to ecosystems. It will use lake sediments to reconstruct how P cycled over time and leverage present-day soils and water samples to answer fundamental questions about whether atmospheric P inputs can drive the development of young, eroding ecosystems on P-poor parent material. This work is expected to re-evaluate established paradigms on ecosystem P cycling and has important implications for understanding the impacts of dust deposition on ecosystem functions like organic matter decomposition, which is critical for water and ecosystem quality in many arid regions. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
