The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $392,981 Project Grant to the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs for the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IMAGINE: QUANTIFYING DIATOM RESILIENCE IN AN ACIDIFIED OCEAN." The three-year award, issued on June 15, 2021 with a projected completion date of May 31, 2024, will fund research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Biological Sciences program aims...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
This $918,053 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental and applied research to document and characterize the diverse communities of marine epizoic diatoms living on endangered marine megafauna. The overall project objectives are to: 1) describe and formally document up to 50 new species of epizoic diatoms; 2) reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of these diatoms to understand their evolution and...
This $713,951 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into the adaptability of phytoplankton carbon dioxide concentrating mechanisms to changing climatic conditions. The grant to Columbia University will fund experiments to quantify the plastic and adaptive responses of carbon fixation in five key phytoplankton groups - diatoms, dinoflagellates, green algae, coccolithophores, and cyanobacteria - under climate change...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $1,053,775 provides funding from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026 to support research examining the cellular metabolism and physiology of diatom-diazotroph associations (DDAs) and evaluate their ecosystem and biogeochemical impacts. The University of Rhode Island will investigate the responses of DDAs to different nitrogen sources and temperatures, compare DDA physiology and metabolism to asymbiotic diatoms, and model ecosystem-level...
This three-year, $317,027 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research on the phylogenomics and taxonomic revision of the diatom order Rhopalodiales. The research team, consisting of scientists from three U.S. universities and seven international institutions, will gather genomic and morphological data to address the evolutionary origins and diversification of Rhopalodiales. They will seek to determine when the...
Oregon State University was awarded a $597,545 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and increase understanding of major problems. Specifically, the three-year award beginning in August 2021 will fund collaborative research examining the cell biology of cnidarian-dinoflagellate...
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 $109,669 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs) aims to improve understanding of how environmental conditions and diatom species influence the use of diatom fossils as historical records of ocean nutrient availability. The University of Rhode Island will use recently collected diatom samples from the Southern Ocean to evaluate gene expression, silicification, and nitrogen isotopes in different diatom species under...
