MIM: Systematic Dissection of Complex Synthetic Gut Bacterial Communities
The species composition of microbial communities is key to understanding their ecological functions. While the forces that determine composition are known to involve a complex netw...
RUI: Laser-Zone Drawing and Annealing of High Strength Polymer Nanofibers
This work generates new knowledge associated with laser heating of polymers to engineer and manufacture high strength nanofibers. The scientific knowledge and technological advance...
Collaborative Research: MFB: Ultra-Fast Development of Portable Small Molecule Sensor-Actuators
In this project, funded by the Molecular Foundation of Biotechnology (MFB) initiative and the Chemical Measurement and Imaging program of the Division of Chemistry, and the Biosens...
REU Site: Integrated Computational and Experimental (ICE) REU at North Carolina State University
This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award to North Carolina State University (NCSU) supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 202...
Allosteric effects in the complexes between Ras proteins and Raf
This project focuses on discerning the molecular mechanisms through which key proteins that regulate cell proliferation, Ras and Raf, attain different biological functions through...
MRI: Acquisition of a Normal Phase Single Quadrupole High Performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS) for Innovative Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironmental Research
The acquisition of a high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS) will support environmental research and educational activities led by Professor Melissa Berk...
RCN-UBE: The Undergraduate Student Experiences with Citizen Science Network to Transform Learning and Broaden Participation in Science
This project aims to serve the national interest by increasing student engagement with science and facilitating the persistence of students in STEM fields. In addition, the quantit...
Massive Black-hole X-ray binaries: Accretion-wind interaction and evolutionary context
When both stars in a binary system are very massive (>10 solar masses), highly exotic systems comprised of black holes (BH), neutron stars (NS), and Wolf-Rayet stars (WR) can re...
Collaborative Research: Hominoid origins in a unique paleocommunity
This project advances knowledge about a crucial time in primate evolution when the ancestors of apes and humans are thought to have first diverged from other primate lines. A team...
Collaborative Research: A Systematic and Comprehensive Study of Black Hole-Driven Turbulence in Massive Galactic Systems
In order to prevent the immediate conversion of a galaxy’s total gas supply into stars, a feedback mechanism must exist to slow down star formation. One promising candidate is the...
Analysis of Variation in Student Success in Engineering Degrees among Several Institutions
As the nation’s institutions struggle to broaden participation and diversity across STEM fields to underrepresented minority (URM) students, there are certain universities who have...
Collaborative Research: New Regression Models and Methods for Studying Multiple Categorical Responses
In many areas of scientific study including bioengineering, epidemiology, genomics, and neuroscience, an important task is to model the relationship between multiple categorical ou...
Effect of Pore Pressure Rate on Rate and State Frictional Slip In Experiments
Injection of fluid into the Earth’s crust can cause earthquakes. Such risks exist in the context of geothermal stimulation, energy storage and recovery, and carbon sequestration. A...
Collaborative Research: RAPID: Response to the 29 July 2021 Chignik M8.2 Earthquake
This RAPID award is a response to The July 2021 Chignik earthquake (M8.2) along the Alaskan Peninsula. This is the biggest earthquake in the US since 1965 (Rat Islands). It rupture...
MRI: Development of the SABRE Silicon Array for Branching Ratio Experiments
Two of the most compelling questions in science are: how were the elements created and how are they continuing to be synthesized today. Understanding the origins of the elements ex...
ADVANCE Partnership: Faculty Online Learning Communities for Gender Equity, Targeting Department Level Change in STEM
The Faculty Online Learning Communities for Gender Equity: Targeting Departmental Level Change in STEM (FOLC-E) project offers a unique and valuable opportunity to understand depar...
RI: Medium: Improving grounding, generalization and contextual reasoning in vision and language models
Recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances have brought us closer to the possibility of important and exciting real-world applications: ranging from robot assistants for the elde...
DISES: Environmental tipping points of cultural identity extinction in integrated human-ecological systems represented by small fishing nations
Small-scale fisheries represent integrated socio-environmental systems that are essential for global food security. For example, more than 6000 indigenous populations globally rely...
NNA Planning: Community-based Mitigation and Adaptive Strategies for River Flooding and Erosion in Alaska Native Communities
Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. This Arctic research is ne...
Collaborative Research: Evaluating Climate Change and Kill Mechanisms Associated with the End-Cretaceous Mass Extinction: A Model-Data Comparison Approach
Sixty-six million years ago at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (KPB), an asteroid impact in the Yucatán Peninsula resulted in the loss of about 75% of all species on Earth. As th...
