WELCOME

Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to present you the FY 2016 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Annual Grants and Contracts Report. As has been the case over the last couple of years, the report highlights the achievements and creativity of our world-class faculty, staff and students in Research, Scholarship, and Innovation. Despite persistent financial challenges, the University continues to make progress in solidifying its recently achieved status as a nationally recognized Doctoral Research University. In addition to the record number of doctoral students UMass Dartmouth conferred in 2016, faculty have continued to increase their level of scholarly and creative activity as reflected by key indicators including the number of awards received and inventions disclosed. The University continued to support researchers by providing seed funding aimed at facilitating faculty-to-faculty research collaborations, developing partnerships with the community, and enabling faculty to obtain preliminary data needed to improve their chances of success as they seek external funding in an increasingly competitive landscape. In 2016, seven projects involving 16 researchers were funded under the Multidisciplinary Seed Funding Program, six faculty were recipients of the 2016 Summer Research Fellowship awards, and another four were selected as community-engaged research scholars. This combined investment of about $200,000 is in addition to ongoing system-wide internal research competitions through the President’s Office. The Office of Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA), in collaboration with A&F, CITS and a number of other offices, continued to streamline its various processes. The work of two separate task forces, guided by feedback from research faculty, has helped improve some of the services provided by SPA. The Office of Research Development launched Community Engaged Research initiative and simplified internal grants by moving a number of programs across campus to online submission and review. The Office of Institutional Ethics & Compliance has stepped up its services of providing guidance to faculty in dealing with export control and conflict of interest-related issues. The increasingly proactive role being played by the Office of Technology Commercialization and Ventures has resulted in an increased number of invention disclosures and patent applications. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the faculty and staff who have been working very hard to help UMass Dartmouth expand its research enterprise and fulfill its education, research, and service mission as the only research university south of Boston.

Dear friends, Another successful year is over and the entire SPA team has worked diligently to support the research community at UMass Dartmouth. I firmly believe that the new year will bring us new opportunities and we will be able to explore new endeavors together. SPA team will continue to: • support the exciting research and economic development initiatives happening at UMass Dartmouth

• bring together the faculty, administration, staff, experts from other universities and different departments on campus to discuss grant related areas by facilitating Grants and Contracts Working Group, SWAT/Task Force, SPA Satellite Offices and Think, Exchange and Accomplish (TEA) Time with SPA discussion groups to make our research faculty successful in the research enterprise • implement new systems and processes to support expanding research interests of our faculty in emerging fields that cut across traditional boundaries of academic

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Hoover Dam and the Shaping of the American West Anthony Arrigo, Associate Professor of English, traveled to the Black Canyon of the Colorado River and hosted a workshop titled, Hoover Dam and the Shaping of the American West. The Workshop for School Teachers is part of a series organized by Arrigo that was funded for $179,000 by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Landmarks of American History and Culture. The workshop brought together 36 teachers from across the nation for an intensive learning experience about Hoover Dam’s role in shaping the American West. Leading scholars guided participants as they examined archival materials such as letters, photographs, and oral histories. For two weeks, teachers learned about the challenges and triumphs of Hoover Dam’s construction process, as well as the physical workings of the dam and its distinctive architectural design. The participants investigated the overarching implications of Hoover Dam’s construction on politics, law, economics, engineering, labor, gender, race, class, and the environment. According to Arrigo, studying Hoover Dam’s archives reveals a controversial perspective to the great feat of Americanism. “The photographs tell a different side, a different aspect,” Arrigo said. “They show the difficult conditions people lived with, the brutal work environment, and the ways in which these issues extended across race and gender.”

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Bringing Research and the Research Process into the Classroom

Diego Bernal Professor, Biology

Professor Diego Bernal has been involved with numerous fish biology research projects in Massachusetts, California, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. His research focuses on the comparative physiology of fishes, and he brings much of his research into his classrooms. Most recently, Bernal earned a $164,000 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grant to study thresher sharks off the East coast to determine how they migrate and move. The study will help fisheries better understand the sharks’ behavior patterns and physiology. He also earned a $281,000 grant from NOAA to examine the post-release survival of yellowfin tuna. This project investigates tuna’s capability to survive capture and release from recreational fishing vessels. Bernal also earned him a $328,000 grant from National Science Foundation to study the effect of temperature and low oxygen on the muscle performance, oxygen uptake and delivery in swordfish exposed to cold thermal environments. “I bring my research and the research process into the classroom,” Bernal said. “I show my students how we conduct research, how it is pertinent to the course material, and give examples of how researchers come up with their ideas.” Bernal seeks to answer questions that involve the physiological specializations present in the most active species of fishes, and he investigates what the energetic costs and advantages may be for maintaining the adaptations supporting high-performance swimming and for dealing with angling-induced stress. Bernal earned his MS and PhD from Scripps Institution of Oceanography and joined the UMass Dartmouth faculty in 2005.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Predicting How Parasites Will Affect Hosts An evolutionary biologist, Jennifer Koop, focuses her research on the how and why parasites become successful invaders. Koop joined the Biology Department in 2015 after earning her PhD in biology from the University of Utah and completing her post-doctoral work at the University of Arizona. “The ability to predict how parasites will affect hosts across spatial and temporal scales is important from both scientific and conservation perspectives,” she said. Koop studies three systems - Darwin’s finches, aquatic faucet snail, and Atlantic sea scallops. Her research explores the interactions between each of these host organisms and the parasites that infect them. Most recently, Koop was awarded a $179,140 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for her proposal, “Transmission of Apicomplexan Infection and Development of Gray Meat in Atlantic Sea Scallops, Placopecten Magellanicus.” The proposal was submitted with Susan Inglis, who will be joining Koop as her research associate. “Over the next two years, we will conduct a number of experiments aimed at identifying the progression of gray meat symptoms in Atlantic sea scallops,” Koop said. “Our research is likely to have a major impact on the local community because we will be providing fisherman and policy makers with the information they need to design better management practices for Atlantic sea scallop fishing.”

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH The Workers’ Education Program is a Life-Changing Opportunity Under the leadership of Lisa Jochim and funded by grants and contracts, the UMass Dartmouth Arnold M. Dubin Labor Education Center’s Worker’s Education Program (WEP) transforms lives, families, and communities through education. It provides free classes and training that prepare high-school dropouts for the high school equivalency test (HiSET), formerly known as the GED. According to MassINC, a non-partisan research organization, 21.7 percent of families headed by high-school dropouts are poor. The mission of WEP is to provide each and every adult with opportunities to develop literacy skills needed to qualify for further education, job training, and better employment, and to reach his/her full potential as a family member, productive worker, and citizen. The program, which was established in 1986, is funded by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for $603,000. Over the years it has offered classes in factories, union halls, and community centers in New Bedford and Fall River, and is now located at 188 Union Street in New Bedford. Funding support also comes from a Career Pathways Grant and the Greater New Bedford Workforce Investment Board. With no out-of-pocket expenses for its students, the WEP creates a lifeline out of poverty for individuals and families. “It provides adult learners with the language, literacy, numeracy, and technology skills they need to get a job or go on to college,” Jochim said.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Extracting Energy From Ocean Waves

Daniel MacDonald Professor, Civil & Environmental Engineering

Daniel MacDonald is involved in a variety of ocean engineering and renewable energy projects, ranging from studies to parameterize and predict turbulence in the coastal ocean, to the development of devices to extract energy from ocean waves, to the design of modular hydropower dams for low-impact installation. His recent efforts in understanding ocean turbulence are funded by the Office of Naval Research, with awards totaling $160,000. Laboratory studies and field observations combined with numerical simulations are focused on developing more robust prediction algorithms for mixing and turbulence in stratified environments. In addition, MacDonald is researching ocean turbulence through field investigations with a unique autonomous underwater vehicle, the T-REMUS, which is capable of measuring finescale fluctuations in velocity related to mixing and turbulence. His research lab also is very active in developing new methods for energy extraction from ocean waves, and is currently pursuing a second wave energy patent for a tethered ballast system for wave energy conversion devices. He is working with Boston Engineering Corporation under a $240,000 grant from the Massachusetts Seaport Economic Council to reduce device and deployment costs. MacDonald has also been working to develop a cost-disruptive, low impact, modular form factor low-head hydropower system, under a grant of $189,000 from the Department of Energy in collaboration with Littoral Power Systems, and another $250,000 grant through the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources. This system has the potential to significantly increase hydropower energy production in the United States in a cost efficient, environmentally friendly manner.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Video Survey of Banquereau Bank Clearwater Seafoods awarded David Bethoney and Co-Principal Investigator Kevin Stokesbury $47,247 for a video survey to examine the scallop population and benthic environment on Banquereau Bank. The School for Marine Science & Technology (SMAST)-Industry cooperative video survey provides quality-controlled estimates of scallop size, distribution, density and biomass, to assist in the management of the scallop resource in the Banquereau Bank area. Furthermore, the survey produces information on the habitat and ecology of the area, which may lead to a better understanding of fishing impacts and species interactions. Since 1999, with the aid of the commercial sea scallop industry, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, and the sea scallop Research-Set-Aside program, SMAST has completed over 150 video cruises surveying Georges Bank, the Mid-Atlantic Bight, and several areas in Canadian waters. “On the surface, this project is similar to many others we have conducted in that its main goal is to provide fishing industry partners with the best available science to help manage scallop harvest,” said Bethoney. “However, Banquereau Bank is much further north than we have surveyed in the past and it is a transition area between temperate and arctic species. This allowed us to observe different animal assemblages and habitat types, and presented new challenges, such as differentiating between scallop species.”

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Estimating the Growth and Movement of Monkfish

Steven Cadrin Professor, Fisheries Oceanography

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has awarded Dr. Steven Cadrin and Research Technician Crista Bank a $270,000 grant for their project “Estimating the Growth and Movement of Monkfish.” The two-year study builds on previous research in an effort to estimate growth and movement of juvenile monkfish – one of the Greater Atlantic Region’s highest valued commercial finfish. A previous Research Set Aside (RSA) grant awarded to School for Marine Science & Technology researchers found that the current approach of estimating monkfish growth is not valid, and they identified a major source of uncertainty in the monkfish stock assessment. “This study addresses that uncertainty by employing commercial gillnet fishermen to tag approximately 2,500 juvenile monkfish that are caught and released,” said Cadrin. “This approach then allows us to estimate growth, track movement patterns, and examine mixing rates between the southern and northern management areas.” The project is a collaboration with monkfish fishermen, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, and the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, and is in coordination with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils. Tagging takes place in inshore and offshore southern New England and Gulf of Maine waters throughout various times of the year.

PATENT APPLICATIONS & LICENSES The Office of Technology Commercialization and Ventures (OTCV) had a very productive Fiscal Year 2016. A total of 11 new invention disclosures for the full year, from investigators in Bioengineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Chemistry/Biochemistry, the greatest number of disclosures were received since FY2012. All told, UMass Dartmouth filed 5 new patent applications in the fiscal year. Congratulations to Montgomery Charter Professor Emeritus Brian Rothschild and former student Glenn Chamberlain of SMAST for receiving U.S. Patent No. 9,367,930 on June 14, 2016, for an improved system for monitoring fish catches.

12 Annual Report 2016 | RESEARCH

As of the end of the fiscal year, UMass Dartmouth had 21 issued U.S. patents, and another 14 applications are currently pending. A major goal of OTCV is to identify and contact companies that might be interested in licensing our inventions and patents to develop beneficial commercial products, and we continue to make progress in moving UMassD inventions to the market. A license agreement was recently concluded with the start-up company Corsair Innovations LLC of Fall River to develop the portfolio of innovative textile technologies developed by Chancellor Professor Yong Kim and his colleagues. OTCV is also helping launch a start-up company to develop the SmartCase smartphone accessory that was the winner of a Global Start-Up Competition last fall, and we are also in discussions for licenses for three other UMassD technologies. Licensing revenue has been received under four different license or option agreements during the fiscal year.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH Numerical Modeling, Lateral Stirring, and Internal-Wave Cascade Lateral stirring is among the important processes that determines the distribution and fate of water-mass properties, nutrients, and dissolved gases in the ocean. Miles Sundermeyer, Professor at the School for Marine Science & Technology, has been awarded $283,425 by the National Science Foundation for the collaborative project “Numerical Modeling of the Internal-Wave Cascade & Submesoscale Lateral Dispersion in the Ocean.” The research uses a sophisticated three-dimensional model to study internal waves and vortex motions in the ocean interior, including the effect of nonlinear interactions of wave and vortex motions on lateral dispersion, and how wave energy is transferred from large scales of motion to small scales. The study will test different forcings, including surface winds and tides, to determine how varying wave and vortex interactions impact turbulence production, dissipation, and the internal wave energy cascade. “A major advantage of our research is that the relevant dynamics can be explored in the context of a single model, allowing us to clearly explore the transfer of energy and lateral dispersion by the different mechanisms across various parameters and forcing conditions,” said Sundermeyer. “Additionally, the simulations will clarify the underlying physics and inform our understanding of how these processes work in the ocean.” The research is being conducted in collaboration with colleagues Marie-Pascale Lelong and Eric Kunze (Northwest Research Associates).
