The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides $199,980 to Salisbury University in Maryland under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) from February 1, 2021 to February 28, 2023. The grant funds research into the influence of comb jellies on harmful algal blooms and Vibrio bacteria in Maryland's coastal bays. The STEM Education program supports developing the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics education enterprise. This award will further...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $302,900 will fund research into higher-order neural processing in the peripheral nervous system of the nudibranch mollusk Berghia stephaniae from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award was made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will support construction of a connectome of the rhinophore...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $324,986 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Florida International University (FIU) on September 1, 2024. The goal of this 2-year project is to assess how environmental factors, including food availability, predation risk, and boating activity, affect the behavior and habitat use of coastal dolphins in an urbanized marine ecosystem. The project will use innovative methods such as environmental DNA sampling, underwater...
This $548,713 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species impact ecosystem functioning in rocky intertidal communities. The project integrates controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to characterize community thermal performance and drivers of ecosystem metabolism under varying pH and disturbance regimes. The award...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,363,205 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The project aims to investigate differences in how oxygen is delivered to skeletal muscles in pinnipeds (e.g., sea lions) versus cetaceans (e.g., dolphins) during long-duration dives. The research team will evaluate in vivo oxygen...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $338,834 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC).
