Collaborative research: imagine: quantifying diatom resilience in an acidified ocean

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 to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, this Project Grant will support research quantifying the resilience of diatom microalgae in an acidified ocean environment, advancing scientific understanding of how these organisms may be impacted by and adapt to ocean acidification.
