- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded $437,916 to the University of New Hampshire (University System of New Hampshire) on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to map and characterize beaver-engineered freshwater ecosystems and quantify their impacts on watershed carbon transport and storage in the Northeastern United States. The project integrates satellite remote sensing, artificial intelligence, field measurements, and...
- The University of New Hampshire will receive $730,638 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE SIMPSON NEUTRON MONITOR NETWORK project from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under this award, the University of New Hampshire will coordinate and operate the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) under CFDA Number 47.079, has awarded a $294,103 Project Grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for the "Climate Collaboratorium: Co-Creation of Decision Labs for Exploring Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation." This 3-year project, which commenced on June 1, 2024, addresses risks to water security in vulnerable communities across the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the U.K....
- The University of New Hampshire will receive $194,683 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MULTI-PHASE SULFUR AND NITROGEN CHEMISTRY IN AIR AND SNOW DURING ALASKAN LAYERED POLLUTION AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS (ALPACA)." Through this funding, researchers at the University of New Hampshire will analyze air and snow samples...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Maine System received a $119,776 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027. This collaborative research initiative, titled "NSF R2I2: Identifying Community Need Based Adaptation and Resilience Priorities in the US Northeast," will develop and deliver a regionally coordinated adaptation...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University System of New Hampshire $2,662,875 on August 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to establish a regional snow and weather monitoring network across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The University of New Hampshire, the awardee division, will lead the project with the University of Vermont, University of Maine, Vermont State University Lyndon, University of Maine at Farmington, and the Mount Washington Observatory as partners. The project will install snow and weather measurement equipment at key locations to close observational data gaps in Northern New England, advancing understanding of snow accumulation and melt processes, orographic precipitation enhancement, near-surface lapse rates, rain-snow partitioning, and weather-economy linkages in winter-dependent industries. Project work integrates automated sensors, manual snow observations, crowdsourced measurements, data assimilation techniques, physically based snow models, economic analysis, and qualitative social science methods. The effort will develop online dashboards to support local providers and forecasters in planning and responding to variable winter conditions and natural hazards, and will expand the STEM workforce through training of students, volunteers, and professionals across the region. The period of performance runs through July 31, 2030, with place of performance in Lee, New Hampshire.
