This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $223,850 to Providence College from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research on the functional design of siphonophore propulsion and behavior 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. It is reasonable to infer this award will allow researchers to study the propulsion and swimming behavior of siphonophores through collaboration, advancing knowledge of biology and organismal systems.
