We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.

The funding information displayed below comes from the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Years	Recipients	Code	Title / Keywords	Matching score
1992 — 1995	Hart, John [⬀] Leben, Robert	N/AActivity Code Description: No activity code was retrieved: click on the grant title for more information	Studies of Oscillatory Flow Over Topography @ University of Colorado At Boulder The mechanisms by which eddies are generated along coastal boundary by a fluctuating wind stress are studied by means of combined laboratory experiments and numerical models. Various types of wind forcing and bottom topography will be used in the experiments. Show summary Hide summary	0.915
2003 — 2006	Leben, Robert	N/AActivity Code Description: No activity code was retrieved: click on the grant title for more information	Collaborative Research: Why Does the Loop Current Have Such An Irregular Eddy Shedding Cycle? @ University of Colorado At Boulder The most puzzling aspect of the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico is the manner in which it sheds rings. Ring-shedding is of great interest to biological oceanography and fisheries applications and has a practical effect on commercial shipping and drilling. Data going back to the 1970's indicates the rate at which rings are shed but the mechanism that causes rings to separate is not known. Current numerical models can get most of the flow details of the Loop Current correct but not the timing of ring shedding and without assimilating sea surface height data, the models fail to capture ring shedding at all. In this study, historical data on ring separations will be analyzed to test recent theoretical hypotheses about ring shedding mechanisms. Show summary Hide summary	0.915
