North Carolina State University will receive $574,051 in funding from the National Science Foundation over a three-year period to conduct research on vitamin B1 limitation and advantageous use of B1-related compounds by marine bacterioplankton. This Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024. The funding supports basic research within the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $650,992 to North Carolina State University supports research to assess the role of marine bacteria and viruses in producing and cycling vitamin B1 and related compounds in the surface ocean. The 3-year project will conduct laboratory experiments to estimate the fluxes of these vital compounds from key bacterial groups and the impacts of temperature changes, which are critical for understanding plankton...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to assess the role of bacterioplankton as sources of vitamin B1 and related compounds in the surface ocean. The $335,126 award to Wake Forest University covers a project period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The key objectives are to use culture-based experiments and chemical analyses to: 1) estimate the amount of vitamin B1 and related compounds...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to characterize the physiological and environmental cycling of abundant osmolytes, which are small carbon-containing molecules produced by marine microorganisms. The $519,767 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington aims to quantify how environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability and temperature, impact the abundances and cycling rates of these...

The grant period runs from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences....
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will conduct collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 through a $313,734 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. Under the grant, UNC-Chapel Hill will investigate boundary layer dynamics and parameterization to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences program...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $298,228 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. This two-year grant funds research to investigate how marine diatoms use proton-pumping rhodopsins as an alternative energy source under conditions of high light and low iron that hinder photosynthesis. The research aims to provide insight on how diatoms, which are responsible for a...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This three-year, $623,934 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the physiological controls of trait expression, nutrient allocation, and elemental stoichiometry in the phytoplankton Synechococcus. The awardee, University of California Irvine, will conduct continuous culture experiments with common phytoplankton strains under varying nutrient supply ratios, temperature, and growth conditions. Biochemical...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington will receive $473,768 from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to research the impacts of environmental signaling on the pathogenesis of the marine bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus in coral-reef building corals. Over a four-year period from July 2022 to June 2026, the grantee will examine how quorum sensing, temperature variations, and host-derived signals affect virulence factors in V....
