Project Grant 2122895

The University of Washington will receive $399,588 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through July 2023 to reconstruct past ecologies using peptidomics under the federal Project Grant award. The funding supports the university's efforts to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of providing $399K to expand fundamental knowledge in this area. Specifically, the grant will allow analysis of sediment samples using peptidomics techniques to gain insight into prior ocean ecosystem dynamics over time. The place of performance is Seattle, Washington.
