Thirty-five research projects awarded funding from EMSL
Funding provides up to two years of access to user facility instrumentation and expertise
Over the next two years, researchers from around the globe will be studying some of the most complex questions in science, ranging from water availability on Mars to how fog processes aerosols in the Amazon rainforest.
Thirty-five projects have been awarded Large-Scale Research project funding from the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a Department of Energy, Office of Science user facility sponsored by the Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program. Research funding provides scientists from national laboratories and universities with up to two years of access to EMSL’s world-class expertise and instrumentation.
The awardees, who hail from as far away as Brazil and the United Kingdom, were chosen from the highly competitive fiscal year (FY) 2022 Large-Scale Research call for proposals.
The awarded projects represent research that will advance scientific understanding and pioneer new capabilities in each of EMSL’s science areas — Environmental Transformations and Interactions; Functional and Systems Biology; and Computing Analytics and Modeling — as well as other novel applications. The proposal call included six topic areas for each of the three science areas and required that proposed projects be aligned with BER's mission.
Applicants were encouraged to consider how EMSL’s cutting-edge capabilities could benefit their project. Capabilities included but were not limited to:
the Non-invasive Automated Root Imager (NARI) platform, and
the Cell-Free Expression Pipeline.
