Frameworks: Advanced Cyberinfrastructure for Sustainable Community Usage of Big Data from Numerical Fluid Dynamics Simulations
In most computer simulation-based research, the prevailing approach has been to perform large simulations that generate so much data that only some quantities can be computed durin...
Collaborative Research: Effects of Mentoring Relationship Heterogeneity on Student Outcomes among NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program Participants
Understanding mentoring relationships is critical to increasing diversity in STEM fields. Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso and the University of Utah propose to st...
Collaborative Research: OAC Core: Enabling Extremely Fine-grained Parallelism on Modern Many-core Architectures
Computer systems are becoming increasingly complex: multisocket systems with many-core processors and general graphic processors have the potential to address the needs of demandin...
Dense Extended Hydrocarbon Framework Materials (3D Polymers)
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYPolymeric solids made of simple hydrocarbons are primarily in one-dimensional (1D) chains and less frequently in 2D polymers like graphene. While research effo...
Acoustic Forces and Active Fluctuations in Levitated Granular Matter
Non-Technical Description:A better fundamental understanding how small particles agglomerate is critical to a wide range of processes, from the very early stages of planet formatio...
Biomechanical Models and Objective Metrics for Spasticity Rehabilitation
Spasticity is a chronic neuromuscular disorder due to brain or nerve damages that affects roughly 12 million people worldwide. It is manifested as an abnormal muscle stiffness that...
Examining the Inter- and Intra-Personal Dynamics of Detachment and Recovery After a Relationship Ends
At some point nearly everyone experiences having a relationship end. The dissolution of a relationship can cause pain, disrupt aspects of a person's life, and undermine emotio...
Collaborative Research: Developing a Diverse, Future-oriented Workforce for Renewable Energy Industries
This project aims to serve the national interest by studying ways to prepare a new generation of engineers to join the growing renewable energy workforce. A shift to increased reli...
Collaborative Research: Research Initiation: Leveraging Design Thinking to Deal with Ambiguity Embedded in Data-Driven Engineering Problems
We are in the midst of a data revolution. Whether it is analyzing sensor data collected from a complex manufacturing process, customer preference data harvested from Facebook or Am...
Collaborative Research: Arc plutonism along the Denali Fault, Alaska: Possible fault controls on incremental magma transport and assembly along a long-lived strike-slip fault
Volcanoes above subduction zones almost always appear as an irregular or curvy line on the surface of the earth. Scientists have a general idea of why these “arc” volcanoes, such a...
Blind Carbon Copy on Dirty Paper: Seamless Spectrum Underlay made Practical
From smart homes to smart cars and highways, and from smart health to precision agriculture, emerging technologies will soon demand ubiquitous connectivity for billions of wireless...
RUI: Symmetries, Stability, and Related Topics
In the study of algebraic objects in mathematics, a central problem is to classify all the relevant objects in a given context. A powerful and time-tested approach to this classifi...
Collaborative Research: Improving the Late Cretaceous-Eocene geomagnetic polarity time scale by integrating the global magnetic anomaly record and astrochronology
Every few tens of thousands to millions of years Earth’s magnetic field reverses, with magnetic north and south swapping places. The geomagnetic polarity time scale (GPTS) dates th...
Collaborative Research: A fossil ecosystem under the ice: deciphering the glacial and vegetation history of northwest Greenland using long-lost Camp Century basal sediment
Climate warming is melting the Greenland Ice Sheet and contributing to global sea level rise. In order to understand how the Greenland Ice Sheet will behave in the future, we will...
Molecular Recognition of Anionic Sulfur, Oxygen, and Nitrogen Species
With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program in the NSF Division of Chemistry, Professor Michael Pluth of the University of Oregon will develop...

CAREER: Understanding Nanoscale Interactions at Single-Particle and Single-Cell Levels
Nanoscale interactions determine nanoparticle safety and effectiveness in environmental, biological, and medical applications. To better exploit the potential of nanoparticles for...
Applying a Digital Tool to Support Self-regulated Learning Strategies in Introductory Geoscience Courses
This project aims to serve the national interest by improving student learning and success in introductory geoscience courses. To do so, it will modify and expand a prototype onlin...
Exploring ultra-wide bandgap ambipolar transparent conducting semiconductors for deep ultraviolet optoelectronic devices
Semiconductor laser diodes are an important component in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. The basic structure of a laser diode contains p- and n-type semiconductor...
Chemical Bonding in Redox-Active Oxyfluorides
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYRedox intercalation reactions are reactions during which electrons (negative charges) are transferred from one chemical building to a different one. In solid m...
