RUI: Hydropowered Plants: How Primitive Land Plants Reproduce by Harnessing Mechanical Energy from Water
Liverworts are believed to have been the very first land plants, and Marchantia polymorpha has for a long time been a modern representative of its primitive ancestry. Recently, thi...
EAGER-Forgotten N-conjugate cytokinins and their active role during senescence
Cytokinin is a plant hormone that is essential to normal growth and development in plants. One key function of cytokinin is to keep older leaves green and growing efficiently by de...
I-Corps: Novel Intermittent Urinary Catheter Design
The broader impact of this I-Corps project is to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by intermittent urinary catheter use. The main goal is to reduce mor...
PFI-RP: A Development of zero-power optical sensor platform for the detection of toxic gases
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Partnerships for Innovation – Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) project is to develop and refine the technology for an advanced sensor...
C*-Envelopes and Other Themes in Operator Algebras
This research project seeks to resolve various problems in operator algebra theory, an area of mathematical analysis. The general study of operator algebras began in the 1930’s in...
Investigating Conserved Function of Male and Female Developmental Genes in a Model Bivalve
Bivalves, such as mussels, oysters, and clams, belong to the second most diverse animal phylum. They play a critical role in coastal ecosystems, help maintain water quality, and ar...
Understanding Advanced Heat and Mass Transport Control and Non-Noble Metal Catalyst Designs for Low Temperature Polyolefin Up-Cycling
The project will investigate inexpensive catalytic materials and new energy delivery mechanisms to efficiently transform waste plastics into valuable building-block chemicals and f...
Collaborative Research: Using Multisystem Deep-Time Thermochronology to Decipher Neoproterozoic Exhumation Patterns in Time and Space
Earth’s history as recorded in rocks is frequently incomplete in any one place, with gaps of missing time known as unconformities. While common, such gaps typically occur at differ...
The Lean Canvas for Invention: A Team-Based Framework for Research Development, Mentoring, and Career Readiness
Developing a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce is critical to our nation's ability to compete with innovation and competition globally. However, grad...
Ultra-High Efficiency Microwave Plasma for Extreme Low-Power Applications
Cold plasma is a critical technology in many application fields such as plasma medicine, food preservation, water treatment, reconfigurable electronics, high-quality lighting, elec...
PFI TT: A Technology Platform to Enable Microsystems with a Wide Variety of Functions
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Partnerships for Innovation - Technology Translation (PFI-TT) project lies in the creation of a new processing technology platform t...
MOMS: a Minimal Ocean Mixing System
Despite occurring on centimeter and smaller scales, turbulent stratified mixing in the ocean affects the circulation at basin scales. Much work has been devoted to understanding ho...
Collaborative Research: Exploiting Geomagnetic Records to Describe Past and Present Ocean Variability
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).The electrically conducting ocean generates electric currents and associated...
Collaborative Research: Global eddy-driven transport estimated from in situ Lagrangian observations
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This project will examine fluid transport by long-lived coherent mesoscale ed...
Collaborative Research: Origins of Serial Sovereign Default
AbstractSovereign nations have consistently borrowed from international financial markets for centuries, and this foreign debt remains an important source of funding for advanced a...
Doctoral Dissertation Research in DRMS: Investigating Environmental Justice and Managing Air Pollution Risk through Participatory Sensing
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Some people have turned to non- governmental air quality monitoring networks...
Collaborative Research: In Situ Laboratory Imaging and Modeling of PFAS Transport and Fate in Variably Saturated Heterogeneous Porous Media
Leaching of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) currently retained in the shallow subsurface above the water table is a persistent source of groundwater contamination. This...
Collaborative research: Quantifying Global and Regional Impacts of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) Slowdown in the 21st (twenty-first) Century
A denser liquid will sink below a lighter one just as vinegar sinks below oil in a salad dressing. This sinking effect happens in the North Atlantic around Greenland and Iceland, w...
AIHEC/TCU Advanced Manufacturing Technician Education Network
This project aims to serve the national interest by expanding the Tribal College and University (TCU) Advanced Manufacturing Network Initiative to include four additional TCUs thro...
