Collaborative Research: Measuring leaping performance, evaluating its anatomical correlates, and reconsidering the importance of leaping in primate origins and early evolution
Primate species display a diverse range of adaptations for moving through their environments, and hypotheses about these locomotor patterns have long played a central role in model...
SitS: Collaborative Research: Soils are signaling shifts in aggregate life-cycles: What does this mean for water, carbon and climate feedbacks in the Anthropocene?
Healthy soils support the production of food, store rainfall, transmit and filter groundwater, and provide habitat for plants, animals, and microbes. Much of the volume of these so...
Single-Step Fabrication and Programming of Shape-Memory Polymers
Manufacturing technologies that employ smart materials have the potential to revitalize American manufacturing in diverse areas, such as aerospace, biomedicine, energy, and healthc...
Exploring cognition with multiple rewards: A new dimension into the cognitive ecology of pollination
Animals use multiple pieces of information from their environments to make decisions such as where to search for food, or which option is the best choice. How animals learn about a...
REU Site: Summer Research Projects in Neuroscience
This REU Site award to the University of Missouri, Columbia, MU, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021-2023. It is anticipated that a tot...

Doctoral Dissertation Research in DRMS: Incorporating Psychological Distance Framing in Narrative Persuasion
Scientists often use numbers and statistics to communicate health and environmental risks with the public. Members of the public, however, may find this type of messaging difficult...
I-Corps: Extracellular matrix materials for use in creating tissue scaffolding to regenerate tissues
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a healing gel used to support tissue growth in wounds for people with diabetes and foot ulcers...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Processing the Dynamicity of Events in Language
The world is a dynamically changing place, filled with different kinds of events ('things that happen') such as peeling a potato, running, wiping a table, throwing a ball, dancing,...
Collaborative Research: IODP-enabled Insights into Fungi and Their Metabolic Interactions with Other Microorganisms in Deep Subsurface Hydrothermal Sediments
The marine subsurface is one of the least explored habitats on Earth. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 385 drilled into the seafloor in Guaymas Basin, Mexico...
SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A: Building Neighborhood Density, Mobility, and Affordability Through Regulatory Reform: An Action Plan for Newark, NJ
This project will study the population density in Newark, NJ, with a specific focus on the relationship between regulations and zoning, and the amount of housing in neighborhoods t...
Collaborative Research: Modeling the Origin and Evolution of Hawaiian Plants
Where we find species living today reflects not only how and when their direct ancestors evolved, but also where they evolved. The inseparable relationship between geological and e...
Mitonuclear interactions and coevolution in the dynamic plant mitochondrial tRNA pool
Basic biological functions depend on direct molecular interactions between gene products. Although the intimacy of such interactions has led to highly coevolved and integrated sets...
Determining the Effectiveness of Live Coding on Student Learning in Introductory Programming
This project aims to serve the national interest by increasing the success of students in introductory programming courses. Teaching students how to program remains a significant...

SCC-PG: Privacy and Fairness in Planning when using Third-Party, Heterogeneous Data Sources
Civic and community planning today is able to draw from a wealth of mobility and location data generated by residents who both actively and passively participate in data collection...
SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A: User-Centered Mobility Solutions (UCMS): A New Vision to Connect Jobs and the Labor Force
A long-standing spatial mismatch has received significant attention between predominantly African American neighborhoods in the central city of Milwaukee and a large suburban emplo...
Collaborative research: The Intergenerational Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
This project examines the effects of COVID-19 exposure during pregnancy on birth outcomes, over time, and across different groups defined by different sources of disadvantage. The...
Improving the Conceptual Mastery of Engineering Students in High Enrollment Engineering Courses through Oral Exams
This project aims to serve the national interest by improving the conceptual understanding of students in the lower division engineering courses that build the foundation for futur...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Tracking alternatives: Experimental investigations into focus and scalar inference
In human communication, conversational participants not only use language based on their knowledge of sound patterns, word meanings, and grammar, but they also reason about and dra...
