Professors Bruce C. Hansen, Caroline F. Keating, and Sinhaeng Lee received $31,000 for their award to show how music creates a sense of collective identity and community.

Joe Levy (Geology) and Adam Burnett (Geography) received $30,000 to generate a long-term record of climate change in the central New York region in order to better understand the local impacts of global climate change in the form of changes to temperature, precipitation patterns, hydrological systems, and biogeochemical systems.

James “Eddie” Watkins (Biology) and Joshua Finnell (University Librarian) received an award for $25,000 to thoroughly examine, organize, and digitize the Alma Stokey personal papers collection to create a morphological trait matrix to generate a phylogeny of shifts in form gametophyte character states.

Mike Loranty (Geography) and his collaborators in the US and Namibia received an award in the amount of $26,000 to help in understanding how ecosystems changes will impact large herbivore populations. The results from this project will improve our understanding of giraffe movement ecology at fine spatial scales.

Damhnait McHugh (Biology), and a team of collaborators received $102,000 for a project that focuses on the history, ecological impacts, and adaptions of an introduced soil dweller in the changing climate of Ireland.

Ahmet Ay (Biology and Mathematics), and Krista Ingram (Biology) have received an award for $146,000 for their project using artificial intelligence tools and facial recognition software along with environmental DNA-informed population genomics to estimate critical population parameters for harbor seals.

Bineyam Taye (Biology), and Ken Belanger (Biology), received a $149,000 grant to study microbial communities (microbiomes) present in the gastrointestinal tracts of Ethiopian children.

Jacob Goldberg (Chemistry) and their collaborator received an award for $134,000 to develop and prepare a new generation of small-molecule sensors that will be used to detect and quantitate zinc ions in the brain.

Linda Y. Tseng (Environmental Studies and Physics), and her collaborators have received a $116,00 two-year award for their project exploring the transport and impact of microplastics.

Frank M. Frey (Biology and Environmental Studies), Peter R. Scull (Geography), and their collaborators have received a two-year award for $130,000 for their project studying the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in pathogens causing upper respiratory illness in southwestern Uganda.
