Collaborative Research: Biochemical, Genetic, Metabolic and Isotopic Constraints on an Ancient Thiobiosphere
Chemical bonds between phosphorus and oxygen are important in building DNA and RNA, and also in supplying modern cells with energy. It is not known, however, whether the first life...
CIF21 DIBBs: EI: Virtual Data Collaboratory: A Regional Cyberinfrastructure for Collaborative Data Intensive Science
This project develops a virtual data collaboratory that can be accessed by researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs across institutional and geographic boundaries, fostering commu...
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land
The goal of this project is to establish, through direct geological evidence, whether complete deglaciation of East Antarctic marine basins took place during past warm-climate peri...
Collaborative Research: Long-Term Human Responses to Ecological Instability
Given its focus on extended temporal spans of human behavior, archaeology is particularly well suited to examine long-term trends in how communities devise both technological and s...
NSF-AoF: CNS Core: Small: Reinforcement Learning for Real-time Wireless Scheduling and Edge Caching: Theory and Algorithm Design
Recent years have witnessed a tremendous growth in real-time applications in wirelessly networked systems, such as connected cars and multi-user augmented reality (AR). Wireless ed...
Collaborative Research: RUI: Hydrology of the vegetation on vegetation: Comparison and scaling of rainfall interception and solute alteration by common arboreal epiphytes.
Forests cover can significantly reduce the amount of rainfall reaching the ground and alter its chemistry. This process, called "interception," impacts water paths, soil...
CAREER: Multifidelity Modeling and Search Using Adaptive Field Prediction
A variety of high-fidelity simulations are available to engineers in support the analysis and optimization of engineered systems. However, the computational demands of these simula...
RAPID: 2018 Hurricane Season -- Assessing the Role of Antecedent Land State on Hurricane Post-landfall Rainfall
Hurricane Florence dropped an extraordinary amount of rainfall on parts of the eastern United States, particularly in coastal North Carolina. It has been theorized that wet land co...
Research: Asset-based Practices in Engineering Design (APRENDE): Formation of Engineers through a Funds of Knowledge Approach
The Latinx (a gender-neutral term for Latinas/Latinos) population is a severely underrepresented group in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. As a res...
EDGE CMT: RUI: Roles of Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Biofilm Formation and Horizontal Gene Transfer in the genus Variovorax
This proposal will address the connection between the movement of DNA in bacterial populations and the formation of complex multi-cellular structures called biofilms. This project...
Collaborative Research: CPS: Medium: Wildland Fire Observation, Management, and Evacuation using Intelligent Collaborative Flying and Ground Systems
Increasing wildfire costs---a reflection of climate variability and development within wildlands---drive calls for new national capabilities to manage wildfires. The great potentia...
Collaborative Research: Have Transantarctic Dispersal Corridors Impacted Antarctic Marine Biodiversity?
Antarctica is among the most rapidly warming places on the planet, and some reports suggest the Antarctic environment is approaching, or possibly beyond, the tipping point for ice...
Collaborative Research: Joint Control of Hydraulics and Water Quality Dynamics in Drinking Water Networks
After leaving water treatment facilities, drinking water is delivered to consumers through an intricate network of pipes. Recent studies have demonstrated that the quality of treat...
Investigating the Relationship Between an Intelligent Trunk Exoskeleton and Its Wearer as a Basis for Improved Assistance and Rehabilitation
Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability and a significant contributor to reduced work productivity and wage loss. Intelligent, adaptive trunk exoskeletons are a novel...
Collaborative Research: ABI Development: Symbiota2: Enabling greater collaboration and flexibility for mobilizing biodiversity data
Biological collections in the United States have amassed over 500 million specimens but only 14% of these have been digitized; thus we need to greatly expand existing tools and met...
A Spatiotemporal Investigation of Heat Wave Dynamics
This project will analyze changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of heat waves and explore relationships between their size and physical variables, such as soil moisture and...
Collaborative Research: PPoSS: Planning: SEEr: A Scalable, Energy Efficient HPC Environment for AI-Enabled Science
AI-enabled science, where advanced machine-learning technologies are used for surrogate models, autotuning, and in situ data analysis, is quickly being adopted in science and engin...
CAREER: Dual Function Materials for Capture and Conversion of CO2 into Methanol and Higher Alcohols
The project will synthesize, characterize, and evaluate materials capable of both capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and catalyzing its conversion to more valuable chemicals. Specifica...
Collaborative Research: CNS Core: Small: Fundamentals of Ultra-Dense Wireless Networks with Generalized Repulsion
An accurate characterization of the statistical behavior of wireless networks is crucial in the analysis, design, and deployment of real-world wireless networks. In the past decade...
CAREER: Characterizing Error Management Cognitive Bias in Design - A Path to Better Design
Cognitive bias can have significantly negative impacts on the success of decision-making and actions in human behavior, having been documented in many different forms and areas of...
