Through this funding,...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The Science Museum of Minnesota received a $459,803 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028. This collaborative research initiative will develop comprehensive frameworks for understanding global riverine solute regimes and watershed-scale controls on river biogeochemical signals. The project will harmonize...
- This $396,079 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate how bacteria and biofilm growth in river sediments regulate the formation of low-oxygen microzones that produce the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) will perform sediment column experiments, microfluidic studies, and numerical simulations to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of these anoxic microzones and...
- Project Grant Summary The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. received a $399,093 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 – Biological Sciences program) awarded September 1, 2026, with completion targeted for August 31, 2028. This STAR (Science, Technology, and Research) initiative develops a knowledge-guided machine learning (KGML) framework to quantify riverine nitrous oxide emissions at global scale. The project integrates a...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Oregon State University received a $292,970 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 – Biological Sciences program) effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028.

- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of California at Riverside received a $609,183 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (Biological Sciences, CFDA 47.074) effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028. This collaborative research initiative investigates phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycling paradigms in ecosystems developing on phosphorus-poor parent materials, with particular emphasis on atmospheric phosphorus as a nutrient...
The University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division received a $367,829 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031. This research grant supports the development of a novel modeling framework that integrates remote sensing satellite data with deep learning and artificial intelligence techniques to generate detailed, daily estimates of total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations across American river networks spanning the past five decades. The deliverables will include a comprehensive spatial and temporal map of nutrient dynamics in U.S. rivers that identifies major drivers and controlling mechanisms affecting nutrient variability across different geographic and temporal scales. The research outcomes will quantify relationships between riverine nutrient concentrations and harmful algal bloom occurrence across various environmental settings, revealing spatial patterns of nutrient sensitivity and eutrophication risk to support water resource management, ecosystem protection, and public health initiatives. The project integrates an educational component targeting high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, with no planned subawards. The award aligns with NSF's mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through fundamental research in earth systems science.
