KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 November 16, 2018 — The Rhode Island Consortium for Coastal Ecology Assessment, Innovation, and Modeling <\/strong> has announced the recipients of its 2018-19 Seed Grant program, which assists faculty at the 溏心vlog免费B站 developing innovative projects in STEM and arts and humanities fields. The grants will also foster research collaboration and build upon the consortium\u2019s efforts in science communication and visualization.<\/p>\n

The following two STEM-related projects will receive $25,000 each: \u201cAlgae-Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy-based Detection of Nitrates and Phosphates in Water,\u201d submitted by Assistant Professor Daniel Roxbury<\/strong> (principal investigator) and Professor Arijit Bose<\/strong> (co-principal investigator), both of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Department of Chemical Engineering, and \u201cAddressing predictive modeling knowledge gaps to improve information used in decision making,\u201d by Colleen Suckling<\/strong>, assistant professor in the College of The Environment and Life Sciences.<\/p>\n

In support of arts and humanities-related research, two $5,000 grants have been awarded to the following projects: \u201cIn Sculptural Relief: A Documentation of the Marine Residents and Visitors to the Narragansett Bay and Southern New England Habitats and Ecosystem,\u201d by Ben Anderson<\/strong>, associate professor, Department of Art and Art History, and \u201cAn innovative approach for diverse disciplines to visualize and communicate climate change through exploration, experimentation and dialogue,\u201d by Richard E. Sheridan<\/strong>, professor of Landscape Architecture, and Annu Palakunnathu Matthew<\/strong>, director of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Center for the Humanities and professor in the Department of Art and Art History.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese seed grants represent an investment in innovative ideas from exceptional 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, one that will help shape the future of the consortium and provide new opportunities for collaboration and training,\u201d explains Geoff Bothun<\/strong>, principal investigator\/project director for the Rhode Island consortium and professor of Chemical Engineering at 溏心vlog免费B站. \u201cThe grants build on the National Science Foundation\u2019s Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) mission of increasing research capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be welcoming submissions again next year for our second round of RI C-AIM seed funding,\u201d Bothun said.<\/p>\n

Funded by a $19 million grant from the NSF through EPSCoR, and also a $3.8 million state match, the consortium is a collaboration of engineers, scientists, designers and communicators from eight higher education institutions across the state\u2014溏心vlog免费B站 (lead), Brown University, Bryant University, Providence College, Rhode Island College, Rhode Island School of Design, Roger Williams University, and Salve Regina University\u2014across the state developing a new research infrastructure to assess, predict and respond to the effects of climate variability on coastal ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Working with businesses and area communities, the consortium seeks to position Rhode Island as a center of excellence\u00a0for researchers on Narragansett Bay and beyond.<\/p>\n
