It has both scientific and societal benefits in addition to integrating research and education. The REU site at Baruch College offers advanced research training in psychological science to undergraduate students who attend Baruch College, Colleges within the City University of New York, or other educational institutions in the New York metropolitan area. Baruch College and CUNY in general boast a diverse student body. Although the recruitment is open to any NSF eligible undergraduate students, this program is designed to increase the representation of minority, low-income, first-generation college students, and disabled students in scientific psychology. Specifically, the program plans to (a) identify early promising minority, disabled, and economically disadvantaged students in the New York metropolitan area, (b) prepare REU students for advanced graduate training in psychology and ultimately for careers in academic settings, (c) develop a pipeline to provide a pool of talented and diverse undergraduate students to become the research scientists of the future, and (d) increase psychological scientists exposure to cultural and minority issues in psychological research. <br/><br/>REU Students in the program conduct independent research under the supervision of their respective REU faculty member in one of the four areas of psychology (i.e., clinical, developmental, industrial/organizational, and social). Each student focuses on planning and executing studies with the intention of presenting papers at professional conferences and submitting manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals. Specifically, REU students develop research questions and hypotheses that are grounded in the literature. In order to answer these newly developed research questions and hypotheses, REU students design research protocols and plan data collection. REU students learn via hands-on experience the value of statistical analysis, use of statistical software to draw inferences about the data, and presentation skills to disseminate the findings gained in their research. Alongside with the conduct of their research projects, REU students complete a series of structured activities aimed at preparing them to apply to graduate school. These activities, such as attending professional development seminars and workshops, participating at colloquium in the field of psychology, listening to invited guest speakers from graduate program admission officers, are coordinated by the Baruch College REU program.<br/><br/>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": "12767", "attributes": { "award_id": "2238340", "title": "CAREER: An Integrated Geophysical Approach to Research and Education to Solve the Tectonic Puzzle of the Northern Atlantic", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Geosciences (GEO)", "Marine Geology and Geophysics" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2023-03-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 0, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 298, "ror": "", "name": "University of Nebraska-Lincoln", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NE", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The Northern Atlantic has diverse geologic features including a hotspot under Iceland, volcanic-rich passive continental margins of Norway and Eastern Greenland, and active and abandoned spreading centers in the Atlantic Ocean with the Jan Mayen microcontinent in between. However, the tectonic history of the region has generally been oversimplified. This research will reveal the crustal type (continental or oceanic) of different tectonic blocks, reconstruct their fit prior to the opening of the northern Atlantic Ocean, and provide a tectonic “snapshot” for each geologic time period. The results can help pinpoint the timing and extent of critical geological processes that affect paleoclimate, biodiversity, and initiation of oceanic water circulation. The research will be integrated with education efforts, including mini research projects in advanced geophysical classes at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln; a summer camp for high school students and underserved students from Girls Inc. of Lincoln and Omaha, NE; and five education modules that will be disseminated to educators across the nation via the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College. Such efforts will broaden participation in STEM and cultivate a diverse and well-equipped geophysics workforce. With uncertainties in the extent of the Jan Mayen microcontinent and tectonic domains of the Norwegian margin, as well as the disputed crustal affinity of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge, tectonic reconstruction of the Northern Atlantic region remains poorly constrained. This project will examine crustal architecture and tectonic structures of individual regions via the integration of geophysical methods with geological constraints from scientific drilling. A set of robust and comprehensive geophysical models in three individual regions of the Northern Atlantic – the Norwegian-Greenland conjugate margins, the Jan Mayen microcontinent, and the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge region – will be developed to define subsurface structures that are in agreement with multiple geophysical methods. The identified tectonic features will be traced in-between the modeled lines in all three regions using spatial analysis of potential fields, building a framework for a consequent tectonic restoration, which will provide new fundamental knowledge of the pre-Atlantic continent. Integrated with these efforts, the education goal is to promote geophysics as a career of choice by engaging diverse undergraduate, graduate, and high school students in interactive learning experiences centered around an integrated geophysical approach. These activities will promote a comprehensive multi-physics analysis that integrates publicly available datasets and enables robust and rigorous interpretations. Ultimately, a comprehensive geophysical research program will be established at a public land-grant institution that will yield graduates who are well-equipped to meet the needs of the geophysical workforce and nation.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": "12734", "attributes": { "award_id": "2306369", "title": "FRG: Collaborative Research: Geometric Structures in the p-Adic Langlands Program", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS)", "OFFICE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY AC" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-12-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 0, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 357, "ror": "", "name": "William Marsh Rice University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TX", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Number theory is the branch of mathematics that studies phenomena related to properties of whole numbers. A typical number theoretic question is to determine the number of whole or rational number solutions of some equation of interest. (For example, the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle are related by the Pythagorean theorem. While it is straightforward to find all right triangles whose side lengths are rational numbers, it perhaps surprisingly remains an unsolved problem to determine which whole numbers can be the area of a right triangle with rational sides.) The answers to such questions can often be encoded in certain mathematical functions known as L-functions. The mathematician Robert Langlands has developed a series of conjectures (or mathematical predictions) regarding L-functions, which predict that any L-function should arise from another kind of mathematical function called an automorphic form. One approach to the study of automorphic forms and L-functions is the use of p-adic methods. These are methods that involve using divisibility properties with respect to some fixed prime number p to study automorphic forms and L-functions. Recently, p-adic methods have begun to be unified with Langlands's ideas into a so-called \"p-adic Langlands program.\" This project aims to develop new results and methods in the p-adic Langlands program, primarily of a geometric nature, and to use them to establish new instances of Langlands's conjectures. The award will support the training of students in this area of research that is considered of high interest.This project addresses the following fundamental question: what are the underlying geometric structures relating p-adic Galois representations to the mod p representation theory of p-adic groups? The project builds on several recent developments in which the various PIs have played key roles, including the construction of moduli stacks parametrizing p-adic representations of the Galois groups of p-adic local fields and of local models for these stacks, and recent extensions of the Taylor-Wiles patching method which relate it to the study of coherent sheaves on the local models, and to derived algebraic geometry. Some specific questions that the PIs will study are the problem of potentially crystalline lifts, the construction of a general p-adic local Langlands correspondence, and the possible local nature of the (a priori global) patching constuction. More generally, the PIs intend to introduce algebro-geometric, categorical, and derived perspectives into the p-adic Langlands program, with the intention of gaining new insights into and making new progress on some of the key open problems in the field.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": "10406", "attributes": { "award_id": "2141473", "title": "EAGER: Compact Field Portable Biophotonics Instrument for Real-Time Automated Analysis and Identification of Blood Cells Impact Impacted by COVID-19", "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": [], "start_date": "2022-09-01", "end_date": "2024-08-31", "award_amount": 220000, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 257, "ror": "https://ror.org/02der9h97", "name": "University of Connecticut", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CT", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "COVID-19 pandemic quickly overwhelmed the healthcare resources in even advanced economies with large scale global fatalities not seen since the Spanish Flu of 1918. This project intends to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 virus on human red blood cells using an automated low-cost, field portable bio-photonics instrument. These studies can lead to better understanding of the impacted blood cells and precise measurement of cell anomalies for potential early detection of COVID-19. Accurate, rapid, and low-cost analysis and diagnosis of COVID-19 from blood cells with a compact field portable bio-photonics instrument interfaced with mobile devices will be a substantial advance toward widespread testing, medical diagnosis, early detection, disease prevention, and relevant data collection, particularly in remote areas without access to dedicated healthcare facilities. The proposed cross disciplinary project is based on a transformative biophotonics sensing approach for real-time analysis and disease detection and offers an alternative to conventional labor- and resource- intensive bio-molecular approaches. This analysis and capability would enable medical researchers to study and gain increased understanding of the effects of COVID-19 infections on blood cells. The proposed approach may provide a fast and reliable testing mechanism with the potential for widespread deployment, which is critical in dealing with pandemics, such as COVID-19, with high rates of infection and mortality. The success of the proposed approach would allow for automated low cost, rapid and highly accurate assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on blood cells, which is not currently possible using conventional methods. The proposed research provides new capabilities and benefits including real-time sensing and diagnosis; early detection with high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, and low cost field portable deployment in under resourced healthcare systems for real-time monitoring of pandemics.\n\n\nInvestigating the impact of COVID-19 on blood cells and making detailed real-time measurements of the COVID-19 induced changes and anomalies of the blood cells at sub-micron scales would provide valuable research insights to fight COVID-19 and future pandemics. The proposed approach employs computational multi-dimensional sensing and imaging at sub-micron scales to analyze morphology and motility of blood cells. Specially embedded algorithms are integrated with mobile devices to analyze opto-biological signatures of blood cells in real time to find potential clues to the impact and presence of COVID-19 for rapid (real-time) COVID analysis and detection. The measurements and analysis of the infected cells will be performed at sub-micron scale lateral resolution and nano scale longitudinal resolution. The proposed project investigates blood cells morphology and temporal motility quantitatively with high precision using high resolution self-referencing digital holographic in compact 3D-printed platforms. Multidimensional bio-optical signature data, including spatial structure, refractive index, stiffness, and dynamic temporal behavior of the blood cells will be investigated to understand the influence of COVID-19 in blood cells. The use of dedicated machine learning algorithms associated with the analysis of anomalies in blood cells due to COVID-19 are intended to produce accurate detection and analysis.\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": "10405", "attributes": { "award_id": "2229267", "title": "FMSG: Eco: Off-Grid Construction via Sustainable Compression Curing of Vegetable Oil-Impregnated Sediments", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "FM-Future Manufacturing" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-10-01", "end_date": "2024-09-30", "award_amount": 494685, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 197, "ror": "https://ror.org/05p1j8758", "name": "Kansas State University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "KS", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Additive manufacturing (AM) has effectively revolutionized how engineers and architects design and fabricate products due to its layer-by-layer building approach. New levels of product complexity/customization not offered by traditional manufacturing processes are now achievable, resulting in weight reduction, enhanced conformability, joint consolidation, and higher efficiencies through design. This project combines faculty in engineering, chemistry, architecture, and geology to innovate a solar-powered compression/curing technique that additively fabricates building materials made of tung oil and local sands for sustainable, raw-earth construction. This manufacturing method can leverage available natural resources within the U.S., therefore reducing any reliance on international raw materials. It also responds to a growing need to innovate and overcome remote construction constraints exacerbated by urban-to-rural migration driven by the COVID pandemic and climate change. The remote AM of raw earth materials will help reduce the large carbon footprint associated with concrete-based AM construction which relies on heavy gantry-based material extrusion systems that must be transported to worksites. Architecture students will be trained on a commercial binder-jet AM system for integrating new knowledge in sustainable AM processes into their designs. Guest lectures will be provided to engineering and architecture undergraduate students to broaden their perspectives and creativity to ensure future innovation in the U.S. advanced manufacturing industries.\n\nThe goal of this fundamental manufacturing research project is to design and test a new binder/powder-based AM process for the fabrication of earth-sourced composites for structural applications. Through modeling and experimentation, the AM process will be designed for off-grid use while remaining completely sustainable. Tung oil will be employed for binding sands of highly variable sizes, shapes, and chemistry. Employed sands will be characterized using microscopy and flowability measurements. These measurements will be correlated with the sediment’s ability to spread into a thin layer with minimal voids when acted upon by a custom-designed roller. Binder rheological properties will be varied until effective jetting and sediment infiltration are realized. The binder will be cured via free radical polymerization triggered by a combination of heat and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The latent heat required for uniform binder curing in the presence of unrefined sediments will be related with concentrated solar energy/spectra for aiding the design of a solar power/heating unit. First order energy balances and entropy minimization will guide power/heating unit design. A proof-of-concept manufacturing system will be constructed and instrumented for conducting “brick” building experiments. Thermomechanical tests will be performed to determine the strength of these manufactured composite bricks.\n\nThis project is jointly funded by the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).\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": "10404", "attributes": { "award_id": "2223678", "title": "EFRI ELiS: Living Microbial Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of Pathogens in Wastewater", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "EFRI Research Projects" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2023-01-01", "end_date": "2026-12-31", "award_amount": 1999271, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 357, "ror": "", "name": "William Marsh Rice University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TX", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID. It can be detected in wastewater. Its detection can act as a signal to a community that the infection is spreading locally. The goal of this project is to develop living sensors that can continuously monitor wastewater for the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Living microbial sensors are robust and low-cost. They can regenerate themselves and can be engineered to detect a specific biomolecular target of interest. The modular design can be easily repurposed to detect and monitor a variety of chemical and biological targets in the environment. Training undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers will advance the development of a competitive bioeconomy workforce. The project will also establish new K-12 outreach programs in collaboration with Houston-area public schools. Enhancing current programs that offer research opportunities to community college students and K-12 teachers is another objective. Engaging the public and relevant stakeholders to address ethical, legal, and social implications of living microbial devices is another important aspect of this project.\n\nDevelopment and deployment of living microbial sensors is the overall objective of this project. These sensors will be based on engineered electroactive microorganisms. Addressing broader societal challenges related to the potential adoption of engineered microbial devices, including safety, legal, and regulatory concerns is another important aspect of the project. Several fundamental science and engineering challenges must be met to make such devices. Establishing methods for engineering microbes that can directly detect large macromolecules, such as the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is one. Developing scalable methods for processing engineered microorganisms into functional biohybrid materials is another. Designing compact and low power devices that can amplify electronic signals delivered by the electroactive microbes is a third. Ultimately, evaluating the stability and performance of these devices in different environmental settings, including wastewater, will be critical to establishing the efficacy of these devices The project team will also identify and conduct in-person semi-structured interviews with vested stakeholders such as regulators, public health experts, infectious disease specialists, and environmental advocates. The interviews will identify major public concerns and regulation that could impede implementing the proposed bioelectronic technology. Altogether, this work will provide a solid foundation and analysis for understanding, developing, and translating living microbial sensors as real-time and low-cost environmental sensors.\n\nThis project is jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Office of Emerging Frontiers and Multidisciplinary Activities (EFMA) and the Department of Defense – Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).\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": "10400", "attributes": { "award_id": "2221469", "title": "Engineering Academic Pathways", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Education and Human Resources (EHR)", "S-STEM-Schlr Sci Tech Eng&Math" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-10-01", "end_date": "2028-09-30", "award_amount": 1499608, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 248, "ror": "https://ror.org/04dawnj30", "name": "University of North Carolina at Charlotte", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, an urban, access-oriented institution. Over its 6-year duration, this project will fund scholarships to 25 unique full time students who are pursuing bachelor’s degrees in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Engineering Technology. Eligible scholars will be able to receive up to four years of support while they complete their undergraduate degree. A suite of evidence-based programming will be deployed to enhance opportunities for social-emotional learning, academic skills development, and social and navigational capital building that were missed due to the pandemic. The project makes an urgent, evidence-based response to pandemic impacts on low-income students’ preparation for and enrollment of engineering majors, as well as their missed opportunities for social and emotional learning. Key components of programing include a summer bridge program, high engagement mentoring, a college skills and professional development seminar, and dedicated advising. The programing will improve employment prospects by developing social and cultural capital in students. Through outreach, the program will also help large numbers of high school students learn about engineering majors and prepare them for the college application process and will train high school counselors about engineering opportunities for low income students.\n\nThe Engineering Academic Pathways program is specifically designed to enhance the prospects of economic mobility by responding to the unique needs of low-income students that the pandemic has substantially exacerbated. Recent data indicate the pandemic has disproportionately harmed people in low-income households relative to employment, health, and well-being. Prior to the setbacks of the COVID 19 pandemic, Charlotteans were responding to substantial disparities in opportunity after the city was ranked 50th out of the 50 largest US cities for economic mobility in 2015. The program will implement four of the strategies for improving economic mobility that were recommended by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Opportunity Task Force in 2017. First is to broaden the range of and access to high quality college and career pathways offered by K-12 and postsecondary institutions. Second is to equip all students and their parents with the information and guidance they need to understand and navigate multiple college and career pathways, preparation, and processes. Third is to expand and strengthen support for First Generation and other low-socioeconomic students who need help transitioning to and completing secondary education. Fourth, and finally, is to elevate and actively promote the critical importance of acquiring a post-secondary degree. The success of individual elements of the program will be rigorously evaluated and adapted for the greatest effectiveness. This will advance understanding of the unique needs of low income students in a post-pandemic world and enable the dissemination of best practices through professional development seminars and scholarly publications to other institutions that are reacting to similar conditions. This project is funded by NSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program, which seeks to increase the number of low-income academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who earn degrees in STEM fields. It also aims to improve the education of future STEM workers, and to generate knowledge about academic success, retention, transfer, graduation, and academic/career pathways of low-income students.\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": "10399", "attributes": { "award_id": "2235570", "title": "I-Corps: Digital tool against post-traumatic stress disorder among COVID-19 survivors", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP)", "I-Corps" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-08-01", "end_date": "2023-01-31", "award_amount": 50000, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 163, "ror": "https://ror.org/02mpq6x41", "name": "University of Illinois at Chicago", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a cost-effective, convenient, and time efficient solution to address post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

These four groups are also extremely underrepresented in the field of economics at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. At the same time, environmental challenges that are further exacerbated by climate change threaten these islands, wider Oceania, and coastal communities in Asia and the Americas. This project creates a new economics bridge between Kapiolani Community College (KCC) and the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) to prepare and transfer 100 students from these disproportionately COVID-affected groups into baccalaureate and graduate level economics degree programs. The project weaves indigenous and western knowledge systems and community engagement strategies to contextualize economics coursework to bridge associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degree programs. Active learning, peer mentoring, engaged research, and internship opportunities will enhance the urgency and relevance of economics coursework so that students can embrace and ameliorate the challenges of biocultural restoration and climate resilience in their neighborhoods, communities, regions, and world. The project will promote the progress of science by connecting key concepts and practices from indigenous science with economics curricula, instruction, and research. Further, the project will serve the national interest by amplifying indigenous voices and values, promoting biodiversity conservation and mixed economy and community enterprise models that contribute to nutrition, health, well-being, climate resilience, income generation and prosperity for all American households.\n\nThe project goal is to develop, implement and evaluate a bridge program in economics between KCC and UHM for 100 students from disproportionately COVID-affected groups as they and their communities transition from COVID-affected to climate-resilient and prosperous. The first project objective is to make indigenous and western knowledge system connections for redesigned curriculum and enhanced learning opportunities in first- and second-year economics courses at KCC and five BA and MA leading summer bridge courses at UHM. The Leadership Team will implement a 5-year faculty development program to create new curricular materials, instructional methods, and active learning opportunities, including service, research, and internships. Students in the summer bridge courses will conduct research on the grand challenges of biocultural restoration and climate change. This research can be further developed and advanced in third- and fourth-year and graduate courses. As this objective is met, the project will also develop student recruitment, mentoring, retention and learning strategies that will help these students gain a strong sense of belonging in college, becoming an economics major and a growing sense of reciprocity and responsibility in community and careers. The project will build authentic, durable intra- and inter-campus and campus-community partnerships that increase student well-being and program health, and close indigenous and female degree completion gaps in economics. The project has six deliverables: 1) a KCC-UHM Transfer and Articulation Agreement; 2) an eight course sequence in economics (with course syllabi) across 2-year, 4-year and graduate programs; 3) a handbook on community-based active learning opportunities for underrepresented students; 4) a handbook on integrating and advancing research in urban and regional planning, sustainability and resilience, and economic futures; 5) an “Indigenizing Economics” concept paper, and 6) a network improvement communications plan for climate resilience and economic prosperity.\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": "9536", "attributes": { "award_id": "2030139", "title": "Compounding Crises: Facing Hurricane Season in the Era of COVID-19", "funder": null, "funder_divisions": [], "program_reference_codes": [ "CK090", "RND123" ], "program_officials": [], "start_date": null, "end_date": null, "award_amount": 199890, "principal_investigator": null, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": null, "abstract": "Test", "keywords": [ "covid", "research" ], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 1, "pages": 1392, "count": 13920 } } }
