The Biological...
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;...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded $550,000 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to support the project "EDGE FGT: Genetic Tools for Prochlorococcus That Dominate the Oceans" from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2023. The project aims to develop genetic tools to study Prochlorococcus, a genus of photosynthetic bacteria that are abundant in oceans worldwide. A sub-award...
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...

The University of Southern California was awarded a $338,202 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to develop transcriptomics as a tool to investigate toxic diatom responses to ocean heatwave and upwelling events from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $417,009 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 2-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025, will further the development of genetic manipulation techniques for the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus.
