RESEARCH-PGR: Developing novel strategies to enhance the tolerance of crops to a combination of drought and heat stress.
Heat waves occurring during periods of drought stress have a devastating impact on agricultural production and yield. A combination of drought and heat stress occurring during the...
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology FY 2020
This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2020, Research Using Biological Collections. The fellowship supports research and training of the Fellow...
CNH2-L: Spoiling fish as food: feedbacks between ecosystem and human responses to harmful algal blooms
Around the world, increases in the number, duration, and intensity of cyanobacteria-producing harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten both people and ecosystems. Toxins produced...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Mental Health and Recidivism Rates in American Jails
America's largest jails are also the country's largest providers of institutional mental health care. The overrepresentation of mental illness in jails has been a persist...
Secure and Upgrade Computer Science in Classrooms through an Ecosystem with Scalability & Sustainability (SUCCESS)
More than 20% of public-school students in the US attend schools in rural districts; however, these schools are less likely to offer computer science (CS) courses than those in sub...
EAR-PF: Closing the gap between analogue studies and numerical lava flow models using insights from the 2018 Kilauea eruption
Dr. Elisabeth Gallant has been granted an NSF EAR Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out research and educational activities at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, USGS Alaska Volcano...
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology FY 2020: Defining lineage functional types to improve earth system model predictions via inclusion of phylogeny and physiology
Life on Earth relies on forests. Providing more than just timber to humans, forests play an important role in the water and carbon balance of the planet. Forests, covering nearly a...
I-Corps: Flow-aided aerial vehicle navigation and control
The broader impact of this I-Corps project is the development of technology to extend battery life in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Small unmanned aerial vehicles have been util...
New Frontiers of Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic geometry is one of the most advanced and multifaceted areas of modern mathematics. The objects of study are algebraic varieties: shapes defined by systems of polynomial e...
Small Aerial Bathymetric/Topographic LiDAR System for Tropical Marine and Terrestrial Research
A hexacopter drone with a scanning LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) instrument is being used by the Coral Reef Research Foundation (https://coralreefpalau.org) to survey and map...
CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems
Graphics processing units (GPUs) have rapidly evolved to become high-performance accelerators for data-parallel computing. To fully take advantage of the computing power of GPUs, o...
Conference Proposal: GA-5: Data Science in Indian Country
The 5th Geoscience Alliance (GA-5) conference, “Data Science in Indian Country,” funded under this award, will bring together geoscientists, Native leaders, educators, and students...
Analyzing and Organizing Soft Matter with Acoustic Holography
Non-Technical DescriptionSound waves can exert forces that are large enough to levitate objects and move them in three dimensions. Acoustically levitated objects also influence the...
CAREER: Regional control of local functions: Dispersal and the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship
Biological diversity has the potential to maintain healthy ecosystems. Multiple species work together to recycle nutrients, detoxify water and soils, and maintain water availabilit...
RAPID: Hot spring microbial response to magma intrusion at Fagradalsfjall volcano, Iceland
On March 19, 2021 Fagradalsfjall volcano, near Reykjavik Iceland, began erupting, resulting in a new and prominent fissure. Volcanic eruptions release volatile gases underground th...
Forcing, Large Cardinals, and Infinitary Combinatorics
This program of research concerns combinatorial set theory, which is the study of certain infinite mathematical structures, including graphs, trees, and linear and partial orders....
Disruption of Plastic Flow in Metals by Adsorbed Organic Monolayers
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYThis project will support research leading to new knowledge for structural metals that will improve their durability, processing and re-use. By doing so, it wi...
CAREER: Multimodal Approach for Label-free Imaging of Lipidomic Changes in Brain
The objective of this CAREER project is to develop a method to image lipids (fatty acids) in brain cells and tissues. This capability is needed because lipids contribute to nerve g...
IUCRC Planning Grant University of Connecticut: Center for Weather Innovation, Smart Energy and Resilience (WISER)
Every year, with increasing frequency due to a warming world and the concomitant generation of extreme weather events, billions of dollars are lost due to electrical grid outages a...
Structures, Composites, and Inhomogeneous Bodies
This project is focused on the mathematical modeling of materials and mechanical systems. The work aims to advance the mathematical underpinnings of several systems that have appli...
