- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Hawaii at Manoa $502,183 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop computational tools for understanding coastal groundwater and ocean exchange using machine learning and artificial intelligence. The project will construct a next-generation computational framework combining neural operators with an open-source coupling framework to create hybrid physics-aware surrogate...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Hawaii at Manoa $253,394 on May 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to support an EPSCOR Research Fellows project constraining the role of Earth system model uncertainty in glacier model projections. The award funds a fellowship for an assistant professor and training for a graduate student to develop multidisciplinary Earth sciences research capabilities while providing...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will receive $748,827 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to illuminate the physiology, cellular characteristics, and ecogenomics of the first cultivated strain of the SAR86 lineage. This research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined under the NSF program. The University of Hawaii...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $407,527 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Molloy University. The grant, titled "GP-UP: PROJECT RESTORES (RETENTION OF EARTH SCIENCE TRAINEES THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES IN RESTORATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES)", aims to increase the number of students in geosciences, retain historically underrepresented students in STEM fields, build faculty and institutional capacity, and produce highly qualified geoscience...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $718,487 supports research into the drivers of regional climate change patterns and their implications. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2027. The principal investigator and collaborators from multiple international institutions will use a suite of climate model experiments to further understanding of the physical mechanisms influencing sea surface temperature warming patterns in key...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Hawaii at Manoa $453,074 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to catalyze advancement in geoscience workforce development through training and professional development for students addressing state and national needs. The project will train the next generation of geoscientists through embedded professional development across multiple components, including proposal writing, peer review response, peer mentoring, and technical and non-technical skills development. Participants will engage in outreach and community engagement activities designed to enhance leadership skills, academic achievement, and retention in geoscience careers. The program aims to establish new community partnerships and attract talent to geoscience pathways by stimulating student interest in the field. Performance runs through July 31, 2029, at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, Hawaii. The award is classified as a Project Grant, and no sub-awards are planned.
