Eugene Lesbian Oral History Project
The Eugene Lesbian Oral History Project funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust Foundation
PI: Judith Raiskin

For the first time, Eugene’s lesbian history is preserved and publicly accessible through a digital exhibit of archived interviews and documents: The Eugene Lesbian Oral History Project. Students, educators, or anyone with internet can listen to individuals discuss the LGBTQ history they’ve lived, offering curated paths of exploration for research and teaching projects.

A New History of Asian American Literature
Behind Aiiieeeee! A New History of Asian American Literature
PI: Tara Fickle

Published in 1974, Aiiieeeee! was a controversial Asian American Literary anthology whose title refers to the stereotypical expression of Asian characters in early American films, radio, and comic books. This digital humanities project will make the anthology Behind Aiiieeeee! A New History of Asian American Literature more accessible to the wider public. Fickle’s research contributes to understanding when and how literary fiction became a powerful medium for political and aesthetic aspirations of the first generation of self-proclaimed Asian Americans.

Foundational White Supremacy in Landscapes of U.S. Historical Commemoration
Foundational White Supremacy in Landscapes of U.S. Historical Commemoration
PI: Laura Pulido

To what extent is white supremacy acknowledged or erased in National Landmarks across the U.S.? How can the landscape provide a path towards greater honesty and racial justice? This project investigates the ways white supremacy, associated with the creation of U.S. territory, state, and nation, is represented through historic and National Landmarks. Ranging across the U.S. this project will also produce a database of all National Landmarks along with a historical atlas.

The Island of Stone Money
The Island of Stone Money
PI: Scott Fitzpatrick

The Islands of Yap are known as the “Land of Stone Money” after the large round disks of limestone brought there from the Palauan archipelago. Today, the stone money symbolizes the identity of Yap itself. This project explores the unique identity of Yap and its historical originations throughout the area.

Buried or Fried? Understanding sedimentation and temperature effects on native species in the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Coos estuary.
Buried or Fried? Understanding sedimentation and temperature effects on native species in the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Coos estuary.
PI: David Sutherland

The South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is located in the Coos estuary, which boasts an ecological, economic and cultural richness. However, the area itself is vulnerable to natural and human causes of environmental decline. This project will investigate the impacts of water quality deterioration, climate change, and land use changes on the native oyster and eelgrass beds, both of which are critical habitats in the Coos estuary ecosystem.

Neural mechanisms of specificity and generalization learning
Neural mechanisms of specificity and generalization learning
PI: Dasa Demircan

Memory-based cognition depends on the ability to remember specific details of experiences, or specificity, and the ability to combine information across experiences to learn new concepts and create new knowledge, or generalization. This project looks at the hippocampus’s role in specificity and generalization. The results will help reconcile a decades-long debate regarding the nature of concept representations and strengthen theories of memory function. This will shed a light on many neuropsychiatric disorders pertaining to memory and generalization mechanisms within the brain.

Neural Coding and functional origination of the octopus visual system
Neural Coding and functional origination of the octopus visual system
PI: Cristopher Niell

Octopuses have large and complex brains, accompanied by powerful visual systems that support remarkable behaviors such as camouflage and detecting polarized light. This project will be the first to describe neural computations in the central visual system of cephalopods. The project will use advanced microscopy methods to measure the activity of neurons within the octopus' brains to determine how they respond to different stimuli. The team will then build a computational neural network that summarizes the neural processes performed by the octopuses’ visual systems.

Ecological intensification for a productive oak-hazelnut savannah landscape
Ecological intensification for a productive oak-hazelnut savannah landscape
PI: Lauren Hallett

Agroecosystems, such as hazelnut orchards and oak woodlands, face many intersecting challenges to maintaining their own success and promoting the health of their surrounding environment, including support for biodiversity, pollination, soil health, pest control and mitigating the environmental consequences of pesticide runoff. This project tests two strategies to enhance ecosystem multi-functionality across the hazelnut-wildland agroecosystem. The results will offer approaches to promoting and maintaining sustainability in the agroecosystem.

Rapid assessment of pandemic impact on development
Rapid assessment of pandemic impact on development
PI Involved: Philip Fisher

Launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, RAPID-EC is an ongoing national survey of households with children from infancy to five years old. Twice a month, 1,000 caregivers in all 50 states are asked questions regarding well-being, hardships, access to childcare, and health care. The goal is to ensure that the struggles caregivers and families are facing are heard and considered by policymakers. The collected data is given to key stakeholders to make informed decisions about immediate and long-term policies.

High resolution metabolomics and proteomics to identify doping biomarkers with rHuEPO or prolyl hydroxylase inhibition at low and high altitudes
Manipulating erythropoiesis at low and high altitudes to discover new biomarkers
PI Involved: Andrew Lovering

Using young and healthy college students recruited from the University of Oregon, this study (High resolution metabolomics and proteomics to identify doping biomarkers with rHuEPO or prolyl hydroxylase inhibition at low and high altitudes) will compare the effects of manipulating erythropoiesis, the process of producing red blood cells, at sea level and high altitude to discover new biomarkers. Divided into two phases, the students will participate in baseline studies at sea level and high-altitude exposure, including tests of aerobic endurance. Phase two will compare the effects of erythropoietin, a hormone produced by the kidneys, roxadustat, an anti-anemia drug, and a placebo via blood samples taken during the study.

Searches for new fundamental particles and advances in instrumentation for research in particle physics
Searches for new fundamental particles and advances in instrumentation for research in particle physics
PI: Laura Jeanty

There has been much success with the Standard Model of particle physics for describing the nature of matter on small scales and explaining the fundamental interactions of elementary particles in our universe. But many questions remain unanswered. This project targets the discovery of long-lived particles produced from electroweak processes by the Large Hadron CERN (Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. This work will illuminate the most promising hiding place of weak-scale solutions to many of the remaining mysteries of particle physics while advancing the instruments used in the searches.
