- This $1.49 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the acquisition of an Xradia Versa 620 x-ray microscope to enable multiscale 3D/4D materials research. The microscope will be used to examine the microstructure and properties of a variety of natural and engineered materials, with a focus on lightweight aerospace materials, geological materials, and biological materials. Experiments will study early-stage cracking in aerospace...
The Project Grant award for "FRAMEWORKS-IMAGING-PHD: EMPOWERING DATA REUSE AND REPRODUCIBILITY THROUGH MICROSCOPY-COMMUNITY-DEFINED PERSISTENT HARDWARE DESCRIPTORS" was provided by the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070). The $3,999,550 award, commencing on August 15, 2025, aims to develop a scalable cyberinfrastructure framework that enables the capture, storage, and dissemination of persistent, machine-actionable metadata describing microscopy hardware configurations at the time of scientific data acquisition. This work addresses a key barrier to scientific rigor, reproducibility, and data reuse by ensuring complex, evolving instrument setups are permanently and accurately recorded. The primary performing organization is the University of Massachusetts Medical School, a prominent academic medical center and research institution.
