This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund the development of equity-oriented data practices for small-scale fisheries from September 15, 2021 through March 31, 2023. With $125,499 in funding under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the recipient will contribute to the scientific strength and welfare of the Nation through promoting basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences as it pertains to monitoring and...
This $703,012 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the construction of the Aquatic Resource Trade in Species (ARTIS) database. This database tracks the global flows of seafood products, including the types of seafood traded across countries, the trading partners, and how the trade network changes over time. The data will enable research on the environmental and human health impacts of seafood...
The National Science Foundation awarded Loyola Marymount University a $749,599 project grant under the Integrative Activities program to develop an Innovative Seafood Traceability Network. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The Network aims to create a blockchain-based traceability system for seafood supply chains. This will allow producers, distributors, and consumers to track seafood from harvest to market. The technology is intended to support sustainable...
The University of Delaware will receive $417,504 from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding will support research to develop methodologies and frameworks for modernizing enterprise structures to account for uncertainty in supply chain decision-making. Specifically, the university will integrate process models, scheduling methods, planning problems, and supply chain...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $452,961 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, which runs from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026, funds the development of a new system-theoretical framework for optimally managing the supply chains of perishable products like food and medical supplies. The research aims to reduce food waste and energy consumption through computational tools that...
