Collaborative Research: Life cycle evolution in Rotifera: The influence of sexual reproduction on contemporary systematics of Monogononta
Rotifers are tiny (≤2 mm) invertebrate animals that can be found anywhere there is liquid water. For instance, they inhabit shallow sea water, lakes, ponds, streams, irrigation dit...
REU Site: Treatment-Related Research for Children with Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Problems
This project is funded by the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites Program in the SBE Directorate. There are scientific and societal benefits to our program and this...
The Role of Percolation in the Hydrogel-to-Tissue Transition for Cartilage Growth
The encapsulation of living cells in a three-dimensional hydrogel offers tremendous potential for tissue engineering by providing instructive cues to cells and a structural support...
REU Site: The future of discovery: training students to build and apply open source machine learning models and tools
Machine learning is a powerful tool that has been successfully applied to a variety of problems that until recently were deemed too difficult or impossible for computers to solve....
Heaping of Sediments Under Fluctuating Pressure Gradients
The project advances our understanding of the way sand moves over the surface of the earth. Sand gets carried by winds and currents, and then piles up into dunes and shoals. These...
Analysis of the spatial and temporal dynamics of marine bivalve evolution: Combining molecular and densely-sampled fossil data
Clams are diverse and abundant in both modern and ancient freshwater and marine environments, and today more than 9,000 species exist. Modern marine clams are economically very imp...
SaTC: TTP: Medium: The Tigress Endpoint Protection Tool
In Computer Security, an endpoint is any piece of software under the control of a user who, if malicious, can gain an advantage by inspecting, reverse engineering, or tampering wit...
Collaborative Research: Life cycle evolution in Rotifera: The influence of sexual reproduction on contemporary systematics of Monogononta
Rotifers are tiny (≤2 mm) invertebrate animals that can be found anywhere there is liquid water. For instance, they inhabit shallow sea water, lakes, ponds, streams, irrigation dit...
Investigation of energy density limitation for lithium sulfur batteries
Lithium ion batteries have limited energy density, and an alternative battery chemistry is needed to continue to transform the current energy landscape. Rechargeable lithium-sulfur...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Genetic and evolutionary determinants of the immune response in wild primates
Viruses and bacteria are thought to have played an important role in shaping primate evolution, but many open questions remain about how pathogens have acted to change primate geno...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: The evolution of human balance
During hominin evolution, the transition to upright posture and bipedal locomotion was associated with many anatomical changes. This doctoral dissertation research project examines...
Bifacial all perovskite tandem solar cells for a sustainable energy future
Solar energy is a clean, renewable and most abundant energy resource, however electric energy from solar cells still only contributes to a very small portion of the global electric...
Collaborative Research: High temporal resolution paleomagnetism of speleothems
Speleothems (stalagmites, stalactites, flowstone) are cave mineral deposits that form by dripping, flowing, and seeping water containing dissolved elements from the overlying bedro...
Manipulation and Detection of Physical Properties of Two-Dimensional Quantum Materials
This proposal seeks to partially support 18 undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, and under-represented, female, junior and retired faculty to attend and present at...
Collaborative Research: Integrating Phylogenomics with the Fossil Record: Sea Urchins as a Model Clade for Macroevolutionary Research
Spine-covered, globular sea urchins are iconic marine animals common in kelp forests and coral reefs, where they are often the main consumers of algae and other organisms. By contr...

RAPID: The Rise and Propagation of Anti-Vax and Anti-Access Social Media Campaigns Targeted at Disadvantaged and Minority Populations during the COVID19 Pandemic
As long as there have been vaccines, there has been vaccine hesitancy. When vaccine hesitancy leads to lowered vaccination rates, there is a greater risk for preventable illness in...
Collaborative Research: High temporal resolution paleomagnetism of speleothems
Speleothems (stalagmites, stalactites, flowstone) are cave mineral deposits that form by dripping, flowing, and seeping water containing dissolved elements from the overlying bedro...
Characterizing and assessing number sense in third through eighth grade students
One goal of mathematics curricular and instructional reforms in the United States is to help students build “mature number sense,” which involves making sense of numbers and operat...
REU Site: Applied Computational Robotics
This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site will support a diverse group of 10 undergraduate students in a 10-week mentored research experience in computational robotic...
