The theme of the conference is “Environmental Engineering and Science at the Confluence”. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 AEESP Research and Education Conference was restructured around two events: 1) a virtual conference to be held on July 13-14, 2021 and 2) an in-person conference to be held on June 28-30, 2022 in St. Louis. The AEESP 2021 virtual conference will feature various workshops and training events for environmental engineers/scientists at various stages of their careers including 1) an NSF CAREER proposal writing workshop for junior faculty, 2) a workshop on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) to summarize and discuss the lessons learned from a series of webinars on “Converging COVID-19, environment, health, and equity” funded by the NSF CBET Environmental Engineering program, and 3) a technical workshop on aerosol science/engineering and public health with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. The AEESP 2022 in-person conference will also feature various workshops and training events organized around four areas of convergence: convergence of education and research, convergence of research in air, water, and soil, convergence of research and action, and convergence of research, practice, and entrepreneurship. Both the virtual and in-person AEESP conferences will provide numerous opportunities for the participants to exchange ideas and build new partnerships. The 2021/2022 AEESP Research and Education Conferences will be hosted by a group of academic institutions including Washington University in St. Louis (Lead Institution), Missouri University of Science & Technology, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and the University of Missouri-Columbia. The biannual AEESP Research and Education Conference is the premier event for AEESP members to exchange information on novel research, educational activities, and develop professional competencies. Key goals of the 2021/2022 AEESP conferences are to empower current and future environmental engineering and science (EES) professors to pursue the relevant “NSF Big Ideas”, catalyze convergence research and provide a forum for new perspectives and collaborations that will allow environmental engineers/scientists to apply their expertise and skills to address global and emerging societal Grand Challenges such as pandemic preparedness/prevention and climate change mitigation/adaptation. Both the 2021 virtual and 2022 in-person AEESP conferences seek to 1) broaden the participation of members of underrepresented groups in environmental engineering and science research and education; 2) empower the EES academic community to combat systemic racism; and 3) highlight research progress and identify new priority research directions. The 2021/2022 AEESP conferences will also provide speaking and networking opportunities for undergraduate/graduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows to inform the EES community of their research. Junior and prospective faculty members attending the conference will benefit from workshops devoted to NSF CAREER proposal writing, navigating the academic job search, and mentorship to broaden the participation of the EES community in NSF and federally-funded research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "944", "attributes": { "award_id": "2130663", "title": "2021 Antarctic Subsea Cable Workshop: High-Speed Connectivity Needs to Advance US Antarctic Science", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Geosciences (GEO)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 2281, "first_name": "Allen", "last_name": "Pope", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2021-06-01", "end_date": "2023-05-31", "award_amount": 49992, "principal_investigator": { "id": 2284, "first_name": "Peter D", "last_name": "Neff", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 227, "ror": "", "name": "University of Minnesota-Twin Cities", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 2282, "first_name": "Jonathan W", "last_name": "Pundsack", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 2283, "first_name": "Heidi A", "last_name": "Roop", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 227, "ror": "", "name": "University of Minnesota-Twin Cities", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Current networking capacity at McMurdo Station is insufficient to even be considered “broadband,” with a summer population of up to 1000 people sharing what is equivalent to the connection enjoyed by a typical family of three in the United States. The changing Antarctic ice sheets and Southern Ocean are large, complex systems that require cutting edge technology to do cutting edge research, with remote technology becoming increasingly useful and even necessary to monitor changes at sufficient spatial and temporal scales. Antarctic science also often involves large data-transfer needs not currently met by existing satellite communication infrastructure. This workshop will gather representatives from across Antarctic science disciplines—from astronomy to zoology—as well as research and education networking experts to explore the scientific advances that would be enabled through dramatically increased real-time network connectivity, and also consider opportunities for subsea cable instrumentation.This workshop will assess the importance of a subsea fiber optic cable for high-capacity real-time connectivity in the US Antarctic Program, which is at the forefront of some of the greatest climate-related challenges facing our planet. The workshop will: (1) document unmet or poorly met current scientific and logistic needs for connectivity; (2) explore connectivity needs for planned future research and note the scientific advances that would be possible if the full value of modern cyberinfrastructure-empowered research could be brought to the Antarctic research community; and (3) identify scientific opportunities in planning a fully instrumented communication cable as a scientific observatory. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will be hosted and streamed online. While the workshop will be limited to invited personnel in order to facilitate a collaborative working environment, broad community input will be sought via survey and via comment on draft outputs. A workshop summary document and report will be delivered to NSF. Increasing US Antarctic connectivity by orders of magnitude will be transformative for science and logistics, and it may well usher in a new era of Antarctic science that is more accessible, efficient and sustainable.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "8457", "attributes": { "award_id": "1R13FD007385-01", "title": "2021 Annual Educational Conference (AEC) and Exhibition Three-Part Virtual Series", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 22680, "first_name": "Suzanne", "last_name": "Webb", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2021-07-01", "end_date": "2022-06-30", "award_amount": 50000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 24220, "first_name": "DAVID T", "last_name": "DYJACK", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 1609, "ror": "", "name": "NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ASSN", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CO", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1609, "ror": "", "name": "NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ASSN", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CO", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is pleased to submit an application for funding assistance under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), FOA Number: PAR-19-306. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing, shelter-in-place orders, and the cancellation of local conferences, meetings, and events, environmental health (EH) professionals are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain access to continuing education and training. In response, NEHA’s 2021 Annual Educational Conference (AEC) & Exhibition Three-Part Virtual Series being held on April 20–21, June 1–2, and July 14–15 aims to fill this need. This conference is designed to train, educate, and advance EH professionals, as well as bring people together to build a network of EH colleagues, exchange information, and discover new and practical solutions to food safety issues during a pandemic. The AEC Three-Part Virtual Series will address new research findings and practical approaches to food safety during a crisis with the goal to build capacity for attendees to apply new knowledge, skills, and abilities in their organizations and agencies. The AEC meets the needs of those who have a specialty, such as food safety, and generalists who provide a broader scope of EH services. EH professionals have been on the frontline of an unprecedented pandemic. COVID-19 brought with it changes to roles and increased responsibilities. The 2021 AEC will bring together EH professionals to share experiences, research, expertise, and best practices as we work together for a safer and healthier tomorrow. NEHA requests funding assistance to develop, administer, and conduct this three-part virtual series. NEHA anticipates an estimated cost of $600,000 for the 2021 AEC Virtual Series and is requesting assistance in the amount of $50,000. NEHA requests funding to assist with virtual platform associated costs and audio/visual costs to provide high quality education and training to meet the needs of EH professionals.

The flow of fluids through permeable materials and how they transport reactants determines vital aspect of our own physiology, the functioning of many ecosystems, the generation and extraction of natural resources, and many industrial processes. As such the field is very broad and highly interdisciplinary with participation from a variety of engineers, physicists, chemists, geoscientists, hydrologists and biologists. The field of Flow and Transport in Permeable Media aims to improve our fundamental understanding of these complex systems and apply it to broad range of societal problems. The goal of the proposed work is to sponsor a meeting as part of the Gordon Research Conferences on Flow and Transport in Permeable Media. The meeting will be held in Les Diablerets, Switzerland, June 19-24, 2020. A significant number of the participants will be U.S. researchers, and 2/3 of the meeting participants are early stage investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and early stage professors). Gordon Research Conferences are week-long immersive experiences in which cutting edge, unpublished science is presented, with long question and answer periods, poster session, discussion of science over meals, and social engagement between sessions. This particular meeting will also have a Gordon Research Seminar, two days before the main meeting, for solely graduate students and postdoctoral associates to present their work. In all, the meeting is designed to address the important ideas and concepts in the field of Flow and Transport in Permeable Media by international leaders in the field, with significant participation a new generation of scientists. \n\nThe interdisciplinary field of Flow and Transport in Porous Media focuses on developing a fundamental understanding of wide range of natural and engineered permeable media and the complex multi-phase flow, reactive transport, and deformation processes within them. The field is crucial to subsurface energy recovery and storage, hydrology, soil science, and represents a core focus of research activity of several programs at the National Science Foundation. Planned sessions include Mixing dynamics, Multi-phase flows, CO2 sequestration, Micro-scale fluid dynamics, Innovative sensors, Biochemical processes, Hydromechanics, and Flow and transport in ice. The meeting will focus on the fundamental challenges in Flow and Transport in Permeable Media. This proposal is to support the registration of 35 participants in the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Flow and Transport in Permeable Media. The format and structure of the GRC is designed for immersion of scientists into new and emerging concepts in Flow and Transport in Permeable Media – with an emphasis on breaking results and unpublished data - though long question and answer periods, interactive discussion over meals, significant poster sessions and social activities between sessions. This particular meeting will also have a Gordon Research Seminar, two days before the main meeting, for solely graduate students and post-doctoral associates to present their work. The emphasis on early stage investigators and underrepresented groups will significantly enhance the broader impact of this meeting.\n\nThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "2536", "attributes": { "award_id": "2018153", "title": "2020 Diversity & Inclusion Research Conference", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "CISE Education and Workforce" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 7254, "first_name": "Fay Cobb", "last_name": "Payton", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2020-07-01", "end_date": "2021-04-30", "award_amount": 95452, "principal_investigator": { "id": 7256, "first_name": "Paolo", "last_name": "Gaudiano", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 538, "ror": "", "name": "CUNY City College", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 7255, "first_name": "Gilda", "last_name": "Barabino", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 538, "ror": "", "name": "CUNY City College", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) refers to the collection of initiatives and activities that aim to expand or facilitate the participation of members of underprivileged and underrepresented groups within companies, organizations and other entities. The need for D&I is particularly significant in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, where the representation levels of women and members of disadvantaged groups are particularly low. This underrepresentation has deleterious consequences for modern society, in which STEM disciplines fuel innovations at the heart of virtually every sector of the economy. Increasing the representation and inclusion of all groups can benefit society both by opening STEM career opportunities to broader segments of the population, and by ensuring that the fruits of innovative Research & Development activities are enjoyed equally by all members of society. Historically, D&I has been grounded primarily in qualitative methodologies, such the detection and remediation of unconscious bias, multicultural training, or creating opportunities to include members of underrepresented groups in educational, research, and other activities. More recently, a growing body of work is emerging that applies scientific research methodologies to D&I, including innovative ways of measuring and analyzing various aspects of D&I, identifying meaningful D&I initiatives, and tracking the impact of those initiatives. The annual Diversity and Inclusion Research Conference (DIRC) aims to recognize and disseminate these novel research activities, and to help establish D&I Research as a field of academic inquiry with significant potential for both basic and applied research.\n\nThe third annual DIRC event, DIRC20, is a virtual event that includes TED-style talks, panels, workshops, interactive activities and other D&I-related experiences to showcase\nthe power of D&I Research as a tool to make society more inclusive and equitable. DIRC20 brings together researchers, practitioners, students, policymakers and others who\neither conduct D&I Research, or who face real-world problems related to D&I that can be addressed through D&I Research. DIRC20 purposefully creates connections between and among participants, to encourage the increased pursuit of basic academic research on D&I, to identify the opportunity for real-world applications of D&I Research, and to foster collaborations and partnerships that will increase participation across many sectors of the economy, ultimately driving society toward greater inclusion and equity.\n\nThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "2537", "attributes": { "award_id": "2035523", "title": "2020 Device Research Conference (DRC), To Be Held Virtually June 21-24, 2020.", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "EPMD-ElectrnPhoton&MagnDevices" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 7260, "first_name": "Lawrence", "last_name": "Goldberg", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2020-07-01", "end_date": "2021-06-30", "award_amount": 10000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 7262, "first_name": "Rebecca", "last_name": "Peterson", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 792, "ror": "https://ror.org/04jg8an89", "name": "Materials Research Society", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "PA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 7261, "first_name": "J.
