Collaborative Research: Apparatus for Normalization and Systematic Control of the MOLLER Experiment
A central goal of nuclear and particle physics is to obtain a complete understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces through which they interact. The Stan...
Collaborative Research: RUI: From Molecules to Mating: An Integrative Approach to Understanding Chemical Signal Evolution in Fireflies
Communication among individual animals is essential for survival and reproduction. Across animals, communication signals are incredibly diverse and employ a variety of senses, rang...
Untangling the Roles of Viscous, Elastic, and Plastic Deformation in Slab Bending
Sinking of a tectonic plate beneath another plate into the mantle is called subduction. It is a fundamental process that controls the evolution of Earth and holds a key to understa...
CAREER: Enabling grid-aware aggregation and real-time control of distributed energy resources in electric power distribution systems
This NSF CAREER project aims to advance the field of power systems to enable a reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future by leveraging flexibility from millions of hetero...
2021 FRONTIERS OF ENGINEERING SYMPOSIA (US FOE AND GERMAN-AMERICAN FOE)
The Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposia, organized by the National Academy of Engineering, provide emerging engineering leaders from academia, industry, and government laborato...
CAREER: Image critical dental diseases that current dental X-ray/CT fails to detect, without ionizing radiation
More than 2/3 of Americans have to receive dental imaging routinely. Current dental diagnosis largely relies on dental X-ray/CT (computed tomography), with several major drawbacks:...
Increasing Retention and Graduation of STEM Undergraduates through Scholarships and a Learning Community Combined with Academic, Social, Professional, and Family Supports
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...
CAREER: Nitride Synthesis via Controlled Decomposition of Precursors under Moderate Pressure
NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Nitrides are a fascinating class of functional materials that remain largely unexplored due to demanding synthesis constraints: of the 447 predicted stab...
CAREER: Impact of a coupled energy-carbon-water system on environmentally sustainable building designs under climate variability and automation - a diagnostic-prognostic approach
Buildings consume over 40% of the global energy supply in their construction and operation as embodied (EE) and operational energy (OE), causing over 39% of total global carbon emi...
Investigating Impact of Different Types of Professional Development on What Aspects Mathematics Teachers Take Up And Use in Their Classroom
Professional development is a critical way in which teachers who are currently in classrooms learn about changes in mathematics teaching and learning and improve their practice. Li...
SBIR Phase II: A portable, powered lift to instantly increase independence of all manual wheelchair users
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II is to improve the mobility of wheelchair users. There are more than 2.5 M wheelc...
Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions for Emotion Regulation
In the last 25 years, there has been an eruption of research on the prevalence and impact of work-related emotions. Research has shown that negative emotional reactions can impair...
NSF Convergence Accelerator: Accelerating Disability Inclusion in Workplaces through Technology
The labor market participation rate of persons with disabilities (PWD) is significantly lower than persons without disabilities. There are more than one billion PWDs in the world a...
NeTS-VO: A Virtual Organization for the NeTS community
The Networking Technology and Systems Virtual Organization (NeTS-VO) will foster communication and collaboration, expand the reach of high-quality resources including datasets, tes...
Exploring the Interplay between Charge, Strain and Polarization in Ferroelectric Nanostructures
NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Ferroelectric materials are characterized by a spontaneous electric polarization, which can be reoriented with an applied electric field. The ability to...
