EAGER: A Microfluidic Device for Studying Environment-Triggered Migration of Glioblastoma Cells
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive adult primary brain tumor. GBM is known for the patient's poor survival of less than 16 months despite surgical resection,...
EAGER: Encapsulation and sequencing of extracellular DNA
This project would develop and validate a method for genomic analyses of individual extracellular elements in the ocean utilizing a technique call environment micro-compartment gen...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: The Interactive Influence of Environment and Energetics on Human Morphology
As the nose is responsible for heating and humidifying air before it enters the lungs, geographically-patterned variation in nasal morphology has long been attributed to climatic a...
CSBR: Increased capacity for research and student engagement at the Frost Entomological Museum
Natural history collections record the world’s diversity through time and support the scientific community’s understanding of changing ecosystem dynamics. In the face of declining...
Studies of Atmospheric Processes Using Imaging Science Techniques
Aeronomy is a field robustly interdisciplinary and fundamentally dependent upon multi-diagnostic observations and advanced computer modeling capabilities. This proposal describes n...
Regulation of Cell Adhesions by Mechanical Force
This project aims to understanding how biological materials respond to mechanical force. Adhesion receptors are proteins in the plasma membrane that mediate cell binding to other c...
PlantSynBio: Optimized CAM Engineering for Improving Water-use Efficiency in Plants
Crassulacean acid metabolism and tissue succulence are metabolic and anatomical adaptations that improve water-use efficiency and drought (and salinity) stress tolerance in plants....
An Electronic-Sensing & Magnetic-Modulation (ESMM) Biosensor for Phagocytosis Quantification for Personalized Stratification in Pathogenic Infections
The objective of the proposed research is a biosensor platform to quantify the innate ability of human blood cells to combat pathogens (a phenomenon known as phagocytosis). Knowing...
Scaling Capacity-Building of Minority Engineering Programs and Women Engineering Programs
Despite recent increases, Black, Indigenous and other People of Color (BIPOCs) remain underrepresented among engineering degree recipients in the U.S. Moreover, women, who make up...
Saving Seniors’ Lives: Comparing the Efficiency and Equity of Medicare and the Clean Air Act
This research project will study the relative effectiveness of two public policies---Medicaid expenditure and air quality regulation---used to reduce mortality among Americans over...
RAPID: Kilauea 2020
Kilauea volcano began a new phase of eruption on Dec. 20th, 2020 after ~1.3 years of repose. The beginning of the current eruption was fairly low risk to the community but that cou...
Collaborative Research:The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) regulates intracellular iron homeostasis via reversible binding of a [2Fe-2S] cluster in Escherichia coli
This NSF award will support a collaborative project of Dr. Huangen Ding (Louisiana State University) and Dr. Codrina V. Ewbank-Popescu (University of St. Thomas) for research condu...
Networks of Influence and Support in Peace Operations
United Nations (UN) peace operations are deployed to some of the most difficult environments in the world, charged with transforming war-torn states into countries that can sustain...
CAREER: Mechanoaging: Understanding the Mechanical Forces that Drive Cellular Aging
This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award will study the role of tissue mechanics in cellular senescence. Cellular senescence, defined as when cells can no longer divide...
Collaborative Research: Processes and Consequences of Somatic Mutation Accumulation in Plants
This project will address the long-standing question of whether mutations during stem growth (somatic mutations) in plants undergo natural selection within the adult plant, are pas...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: The Not-So-Inexhaustible Sea: Fisheries Science and Management 1863-present
Fish provide the primary source of protein for a billion people, but that crucial food supply is threatened by overfishing. Despite a vast scientific and policy literature arguing...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Soil Frontiers: Exploring the Culture and Politics of Soil Microbiology Research
This project examines how networks of collaborative research are challenging the way we study about soils. Contemporary understanding of soil focus on how it is a one of the most b...
Undergraduate Research, Training in Entrepreneurship, and Application of Social Cognitive Career Theory to Increase Baccalaureate Graduation Rates at a Historically Black College
This project will contribute to the national need for highly skilled scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high achie...
SBIR Phase I: Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope using Planar Waveguide Coil and Integrated Photonics Circuit
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is improving the safety and reliability of autonomous systems with afforda...
Collaborative Research: BEE: Impacts of abiotic environment, pathogen resistance and Pre-Columbian human management on Neotropical canopy palm abundances
In tropical rainforests, local abundances of closely related tree species can vary by several orders of magnitude, providing a compelling context in which to revisit a core theme i...
