Understanding the Origins and Institutionalization of Social and Economic Hierarchies through Archaeological Settlement Survey
Few regions in the Arctic experienced the development of social inequalities prior to the modern era. Yet such inequalities emerged in Iceland soon after its initial colonization....
Collaborative Research: Adaptive and nonadaptive mechanisms of phenotypic evolution in response to urbanization
Over half of the world’s population lives in cities, and urban areas are among the fastest growing ecosystems on Earth. Urbanization causes dramatic environmental change, from the...
Collaborative Research:SitS: Integrating Novel Greenhouse Gas Sensor Technology with Mechanistic Modeling to Improve Projections of Arctic Soil Responses to Climate Change and Fire
This award was made through the "Signals in the Soil (SitS)" solicitation, a collaborative partnership between the National Science Foundation and the United States Department of A...
AccelNet:GLASSNET: Networking Global to Local Analyses to Inform Sustainable Investments in Land and Water Resources
Global efforts to address poverty reduction, food and energy security, clean water, biodiversity, and climate change mitigation come with tradeoffs as well as synergies. Decisions...
Collaborative: AccelNet: Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet): Bats as a model for understanding global vertebrate diversitification and sustainability
Bats play critical roles in ecosystems globally. However, key aspects of bat biology, from the causes and consequences of population declines to their ability to transmit viruses t...
CPS: Medium: Smart Tracking Systems for Safe and Smooth Interactions Between Scooters and Road Vehicles
This Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) grant will study smart tracking systems on scooters for ensuring safe and smooth interaction with other vehicles and pedestrians on the road. The...
A Machine Learning Approach to Improve Students’ Scientific Reasoning and Writing
This project aims to serve the national interest by improving the scientific reasoning skills of undergraduates in general education STEM courses. Specifically, the project focuses...
Collaborative Research: Convective Gravity Waves in the Stratosphere (CGWaveS)
Gravity waves in the atmosphere occur when a parcel of air is lifted, usually by terrain or updrafts in thunderstorms, and then gravity serves as a force to try to restore the parc...
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology FY 2020: Convergent evolution of morphological integration in Indonesian shrews
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...
Suicide and Technology for War (Scholars Award)
Suicide warfare—a timely topic in post-9/11 world— has occupied important space around the world, especially since the twentieth century. Internationally comparative in scope, this...
Collaborative Proposal: MRA: Quantifying phenological coherence and seasonal predictability across NEON and USA-NPN monitoring sites
The seasonal timing, or phenology, of many North American plant species is in flux with accelerating environmental change. The influence of factors such as temperature and precipit...
Collaborative: AccelNet: Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet): Bats as a model for understanding global vertebrate diversification and sustainability
Bats play critical roles in ecosystems globally. However, key aspects of bat biology, from the causes and consequences of population declines to their ability to transmit viruses t...
SaTC: CORE: Medium: Privacy for All: Ensuring Fair Privacy Protection in Machine Learning
Advances in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning have resulted in algorithms and technologies for improving cybersecurity. However, machine learning is also vu...
SitS: Collaborative Research: Understand and forecast long-term variations of in-situ geophysical and geomechanical characteristics of degrading permafrost in the Arctic
Climate change is resulting in warming of the permafrost across the Arctic and sub-Arctic, which results in changes in the geological and mechanical properties of soils. Quantifyin...
Collaborative Research: NNA Track 1: Central North Atlantic Marine Historical Ecology Project
Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. The Arctic research is needed t...
CRCNS US-Spain Research Proposal: Serial dependence in working memory
Working memory, the ability to retain and manipulate information over a period of seconds, represents a core component of higher cognitive functions, including language, problem so...
Collaborative Research: MODULUS:Decoding the Rules of Phase Separation in Bacterial Chromatin
All life depends on compartmentalization, starting with organisms, to cells, down to organelles within cells. In this interdisciplinary collaboration, the PIs will elucidate the ru...
