Penobscot County, Maine, funds by National Science Foundation
Listing $4,191,727.00 in stimulus funds from National Science Foundation for Penobscot
Note: For some programs where states do not report where money will be distributed across the state, we do not have the allocation for individual counties. Those programs include: Medicaid, unemployment benefits and food stamps. Those amounts are included in the totals for where the state agency receiving that money is located.
Amount refers to both the amount of stimulus funding going toward the project and the face value of the loan.

| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $1,350,000 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The National Science Foundation has invested significant resources in EPSCoR jurisdictions in support of research infrastructure and capacity, including support for facilities, instrumentation and personnel. In the northeast, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshir | National Science Foundation | 8/25/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $725,700 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The International Trans Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) was formed with the goal of understanding the past 200-1000+ years of physical and chemical climate over Antarctica and adjacent reaches of the Southern Ocean. ITASE has resulted in an array | National Science Foundation | 5/22/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $499,198 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The investigators have two simultaneous goals. One is to test hypotheses about how subsurface deposit feeders free particles from the medium that they crack, and the other is to measure the per-event and per-individual sedimentary consequences in the cont | National Science Foundation | 5/26/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $339,354 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The objective of the proposed research is to test if leading hypotheses about drivers of global ice ages explain glacial climate change in the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes. We will establish the timing, magnitude, and structure of southern mid-latitu | National Science Foundation | 8/31/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $273,136 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to future climatic changes is recognized as the greatest uncertainty in projections of future sea level. Our proposed work will help quantify changes in grounded ice volume since the LGM, improve understanding of t | National Science Foundation | 8/10/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $190,718 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support A major challenge confronting geoscientists studying granulite-facies complexes is identifying the precursors to the rocks constituting the complexes and the tectonic environment in which they were originally deposited; the granulite-facies rocks exposed | National Science Foundation | 7/10/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $189,774 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support This award will support an investigation of Holocene glacier fluctuations in the Scoresby Sund region of central East Greenland (~70-72-?N, 22-28-?W) along a transect from a coastal maritime setting to the continental conditions adjacent to the Greenland | National Science Foundation | 7/15/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $173,621 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The proposed activities will: 1.Inform scientists about successful Broader Impacts efforts through exposure to high-quality COSEE products and participation in workshops that have been tailored to support the goals of four COSEE Centers; 2.Provide assista | National Science Foundation | 9/10/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $161,550 | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support The presence of water between an ice sheet and its bed has a profound effect on its flow and dynamics. Since the ice/bed interface is inaccessible, direct knowledge of its state, whether frozen or liquid, is difficult to acquire. Radio echo sounding has p | National Science Foundation | 8/26/2009 |
| UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SYSTEM | $145,583 |
Trans-NSF Recovery Act Reasearch Support An important component of the proposed work is development of an ?Online Community Center.? This new feature will document how COSEE and its Network-level partners bring scientists and educators together to participate in high-quality interactions. This
