Collaborative Research: Decoding the Aero-Structural Dynamics of Feathered Wings in Flapping Flight via Computational Models
Feathered wings are a fascinating part of bird flight, yet they are not well understood. These wings have unique properties, from tiny barbicels that maintain structural integrity...
Collaborative Research: Rational design of Ni/Ga intermetallic compounds for efficient light alkanes conversion through ammonia reforming
The transformation of cheap and abundant light alkanes (from natural gas) could have far-reaching implications on the chemical and energy sectors yet remains a formidable challenge...
The Nearby Lagrangian Conjecture from the K-Theoretic Viewpoint
Symplectic topology is a field of mathematics that originated from classical physics. In the 1980s a well-known conjecture in this field, known as the nearby Lagrangian conjecture,...
NSF-SNSF: Uncovering the evolutionary and developmental roots of the modern human body form
The evolution of the modern human form, with its characteristic long legs and comparatively short arms, is yet to be fully understood. This project investigates this problem by exa...
Flipped Learning for Enhanced Project-Based Learning in Cyber-Aerial Computing: Privacy Protection and Security Enhancement
This project aims to serve the national interest by strengthening aerial computing education to meet the national workforce demands for cybersecurity experts. Specifically, this pr...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Investigating the genetic and environmental history of type 2 diabetes
Past and current human populations experienced drastically different environments and ways of life. Consequently, researchers hypothesize that a mismatch between past adaptations a...
REU Site: Research Experience in Cold Climate Engineering and Science
The University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) will host a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program that will provide six students each year with a research internship....
Technology-Based Interventions to Help Introductory Biology Students Develop Self-Regulation and Improve Learning
This project aims to serve the national interest by producing and testing tools to help introductory biology students acquire appropriate study strategies, monitor those skills, an...
Professional Learning to Navigate Student Uncertainty for Productive Struggle around Equity-oriented Sensemaking
Progress in science is motivated and directed by uncertainties. Uncertainty is unavoidable in an endeavor that strives to match theoretical models of the natural world with empiric...
RCN-UBE: Building Open Education Ecosystems to Facilitate the Adoption and Adaptation of Computational and Data-Centric Tools Across Undergraduate Biology Education (OEE-UBE)
Building and applying modern biological knowledge depends on using advanced computer tools and databases to gather information, analyze data, and test ideas. Unfortunately, many co...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Nasal morphological responses to variably thermal and exertional conditions
Because the human nose’s function is to heat and humidify inhaled air during respiration, variation in nasal morphology is hypothesized to result from evolutionary selective pressu...
Equipment: MRI: Track 1 Acquisition of a PacBio Revio System
An award is made to Texas Tech University to acquire the Pacific Biosciences Revio system, a state-of-the-art long-read sequencer, for research across multiple disciplines. This ad...
Integrating Software Performance Analysis into CS Education
This project aims to serve the national interest by integrating the study of software performance throughout the CS curriculum. There is a growing recognition of the importance of...
Investigating the Impact of Scaffolded Ethics Autobiography on Engineering Identity and Students' Career Interests
This project aims to serve the national interest by designing, implementing, and evaluating a new engineering education pedagogy called Scaffolded Ethics Autobiography (SEA), throu...
Strategic interventions in first-year Engineering to overcome social-emotional learning barriers
This project aims to serve the national interest by developing and providing novel social emotional learning (SEL) support and skill development for first-year undergraduate engine...
Collaborative Research: An Embodied Learning Environment for Advancing Human-Wearable Robot Interactions Skills in Construction Education
This IUSE Level 2 Engaged Student Learning project aims to serve the national interest by increasing opportunities for training and enhancing safety in the construction industry, T...
Equipment: MRI:Track 1:Acquisition of instrumentation for ultra sensitive stable isotope measurements for environmental research, education and training in the Central Appalachians
An award is made to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) to acquire ultra-sensitive instrumentation for stable isotope analysis of small amounts of c...
CAREER: Recognizing Engineering Formation: Learning Experiences as a Catalyst for Transformation (REFLECT) from Student to Professional Engineer
This project is tied to the idea that reflection is fundamental to the educational process but recognizes that our understanding of effective forms of reflection is lacking. This i...
Collaborative Research: Point-of-Care Additive Manufacturing for Health: Cultivating and Assessing Engineering Students' Technical Knowledge and Professional Skills
