The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $528,194 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to Colorado State University to develop statistical methods for precision environmental health research focused on individual risk assessment with mixture exposures. The grant aims to create models that can identify individuals with heightened susceptibility to environmental exposure mixtures based on individual and neighborhood-level factors....

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a $691,965 National Leadership Grant (CFDA 45.312) to the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) to conduct research and develop tools enabling cultural heritage professionals to make institution-specific decisions to lower environmental impacts. The project will create environmental modeling tools, case studies, user guides, and sustainability action guides covering six core museum collections activities: treatment,...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $658,934 project grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "Improved Representation of Cloud-Aerosol Interactions in the Community Earth System Model: A New Sectional Cloud Model that Interacts with Modal and Sectional Aerosol Models." The grant will fund the development of a new sectional cloud model to be incorporated into the Community Earth System Model. The...

The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $129,436 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to convene an international summit in Fall 2024 to discuss the feasibility of creating a special-purpose computational system for frontier Earth system science and climate projection. The scientific objectives of this project are to bring together international leaders from academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations to examine...

This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totals $399,940 to Colorado State University for research titled "Adaptive Human Migration in Changing Environments." The university will leverage geographic sciences to develop new models of migration decision-making. Colorado State University will conduct fieldwork in Tanzania to collect household survey data and validate an agent-based migration model. Subawards...

This National Science Foundation project grant award of $536,591 provides funding for the 27th Annual Globe Meeting from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The meeting will focus on open science and how the Globe Program's openly accessible database of over 233 million environmental measurements exemplifies the principles of open data accessibility, a priority of the sponsoring Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Sessions will explore mobilizing data collection beyond borders, expanding...

This $234,419 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric water isotope ratios. The awardee, New Mexico Consortium, will utilize the Community Earth System Model to develop a new water tagging capability and directly assess the influence of physical mechanisms on isotopic composition. This will allow simulated water vapor to record evaporation conditions and...

This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...

The National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $230,000 cooperative agreement to Colorado State University from September 30, 2022 to September 29, 2023 to support the Multi-Model Prediction Engine project. This project will scale and operationally prototype a multi-model prediction engine to support the management, analysis, and assessment of seasonal water supply forecasts under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program promotes...
