- Federal Grant Award Summary Syracuse University received a $334,990 postdoctoral fellowship award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. This Project Grant funds research investigating the hydrological, vegetation, and oceanic environmental responses during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC)—a geological event 5.3 million years ago when the Mediterranean Sea rapidly reflooded...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) $713,630 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to build an open science community and establish shared standards and tools for biomarker research in the geosciences. The project will develop community-driven standards for biomarker data—chemicals produced by organisms that provide evidence of Earth's distant past—and create a...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Syracuse University $299,387 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop EROCK, an open-platform cyberinfrastructure for digital outcrop data. The project will create a standards-based repository combining persistent identifiers, structured metadata, and map-based discovery to make digital rock outcrop models more accessible for geoscience education and research. The platform will support FAIR data practices (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), enable reproducible research and teaching, and sustain long-term value of digital outcrop data. Student-led data acquisition and curation, community workshops, and formal user evaluation will ensure the platform responds to diverse user needs. By broadening access to digital field experiences, EROCK addresses barriers that limit student participation in traditional field courses while equipping geoscientists with modern digital skills. Performance runs through September 30, 2029, with work performed in Syracuse, New York. No sub-awards are planned for this award.
