SBIR Phase I: Micro-textured surfaces for high-performance drone propellers
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to improve the performance of drones - unmanned aerial vehicles - th...
EAGER: Tracking marine diazotrophy with isotope-labeling proteomics
Throughout much of the global ocean, nitrogen fixation – the conversion of abundant atmospheric nitrogen gas into chemical forms usable by life – is a crucial source of nutrients f...
GEM: Quantifying the Role of Radial Diffusion on the Energy-dependent Acceleration of Ultrarelativistic Electrons in the Center of Outer Radiation Belt
In the radiation belts surrounding the Earth, electrons are accelerated to ultrarelativistic speeds. How this process occurs is a fundamental unanswered question. The project addre...
Integrating Marine Seismic and Ocean Drilling Results with three-dimensional dynamic models of Subduction Initiation
This project seeks to better understand a process called subduction. Subduction is where cold oceanic plates return to Earth’s interior. Plate subduction is a key geological proces...
Collaborative Research: Conservation Tillage for Sustainable Food, Energy and Water Systems: Linked Econometric and Process-based Models
The sustainability of food-energy-water systems (FEWs) depends critically on whether agriculture can reduce its environmental and ecological footprints while continuing to increase...
INFEWS: U.S.-China: Managing agricultural nitrogen to achieve sustainable Food-Energy-Water Nexus in China and the U.S.
China and the U.S. account for 40% of the global nitrogen (N) inputs to crop and livestock production systems and have crop nitrogen use efficiencies (NUE) of only 26% and 50% resp...
STEM Scholars: Boosting Persistence and Achievement in STEM for Community College Transfer Students
This project will contribute to the regional need for scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-incom...
Workshop on Overcoming Measurement Barriers to Internet Research
A large part of computer science is the discovery and transition to practice of new concepts, advances in performance, and derivation of foundational principles. However, another e...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Understanding Resettlement of Communities
This Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement project will investigate how national policy changes shape the practices, strategies, and experiences of resettlement communities by...
MUON Workshop
The Division of Materials Research provides funds to support a virtual workshop organized by the Materials Research Society. The workshop will be a venue for scientific exchange am...
Policy-Robust Processing Networks: Characterization and Design
This award will contribute to the nation's economic competitiveness by improving the design and operation of stochastic processing networks. Stochastic processing networks, co...
ISS: Unveiling the Mechanical Roles of Gravity and Buoyancy in Embryonic Brain and Heart Torsion
Life originates in water. Most embryos develop in fluids with buoyancy, a force that only exists when there is gravity. Many species are pseudo-symmetric, and as such, breaking the...
SBIR Phase I: Use of ultraviolet light as a treatment for pathogens in strawberry fields
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to accelerate the transition from chemical pesticides to non-chemical a...
RII Track-4: Elucidating controls of sediment phosphorus delivery to tile-drains
Subsurface tile-drainage is widely used to increase crop yields in poorly drained, agricultural landscapes across the nation. Sediment-bound phosphorus (P) loadings from tile-drain...
Collaborative Research: Soil temperature, mycorrhizal association and tree nutrition as determinants of divergent changes in tree growth and abundance in arctic Alaska.
Vegetation change has been widespread in the Arctic in recent decades, with implications for carbon storage, surface energy exchange, and local wildlife habitat. Most studies of pa...
Collaborative Research: Linking the topographic features of bio-inspired undulated cylinders to their force reduction properties using critical points
As a fluid moves around a cylindrical or similarly shaped structure, the flow organizes into coherent vortices, which shed from alternate sides of the body producing a vibrational...
I-Corps: A customizable handheld bioprinter for the in situ deposition of self-healing and polymer-based hydrogels
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a surgical tool for delivery of soft implants and biomaterials into wound sites and desired or...
Lessons Learned: Navigating a Presidential Election During a Pandemic
The 2020 election has the potential to introduce challenges not only for voters searching for accurate information on candidates and voting procedures, but also for officials, poll...
Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Award: Broad Scale Integration Of Agricultural Production
The goal of this doctoral dissertation research project is to use archaeological and paleoethnobotanical methods to investigate whether grand-scale geopolitical changes influenced...
I-Corps: Analog artificial neural network (ANN) structure with tunable parameters for identification of acoustic events
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of extremely low-power systems for applying machine learning to audio signals. This enables the c...
