The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Elucidating the Diversity, Prevalence, and Stability of Deep-Sea RNA Viruses" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. This funding was provided through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems.
Specifically, this three-year award will support postdoctoral fellowship research investigating the diversity, prevalence, and stability of RNA viruses found in deep-sea environments. The fellowship recipient will perform their research activities in Valrico, Florida. It is expected this work will advance scientific understanding of RNA virus communities that inhabit deep ocean ecosystems.
