Grants

Society significantly benefits from scientific research, but it wouldn’t be possible without generous contributions from public and private sources.

This page is a testament to that support. With it, Northeastern’s College of Science has cultivated a dynamic landscape of research activity. Through a culture that emphasizes entrepreneurship, our exceptional faculty, staff, and student researchers are able to maximize the impact of their work.

The grants listed below are a preview of the science and scientists of tomorrow, who probe single cells, the outer limit of particle physics, and everything in between.

    The degradation and transport of plastics has led to its accumulation across a range of environments, but a key component of the plastic-carbon cycle — namely the transport and storage of microplastics through rivers and floodplains — remains poorly constrained. Understanding where and why plastics accumulate along rivers and floodplains is critical for mitigating and…Read More

    To slow climate change we need to stop burning fossil fuels and to find ways to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When kelp and other macroalgae grow, they store carbon in their biomass, but they also continuously release organic carbon into ocean waters. The current project aims to understand whether this released organic carbon…Read More

    Sponsor: NSF
    This project’s overall goal is to build a knowledge base that will enable the design of enzymes that can catalyze industrial chemical reactions with less energy consumption and fewer unwanted by-products than many of the current conventional processes. Several dozen students, in both the research laboratories and the classroom, will be trained in computational and…Read More

    HIV-1 integrates its genome into infected host cells. Due to the permanence of the integrated genome, it is advantageous to target HIV-1 replication in early stages, before integration. To rationally design new inhibitors of these early replication steps, a detailed molecular understanding is required. This work proposes integrated biochemical, biophysical, and cellular approaches to probe…Read More
