Northeastern University was awarded a $305,466 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences on August 1, 2021 to develop new techniques for analyzing the long-term behavior of intracellular networks. The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Under the award, Northeastern University researchers will work to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $516,757 project grant to Trustees of Boston University to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW DO SELECTION, PLASTICITY, AND DISPERSAL INTERACT TO DETERMINE CORAL SUCCESS IN WARMER AND MORE VARIABLE ENVIRONMENTS?" from November 15, 2021 through October 31, 2024. This project grant funding will support research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded to Northeastern University, provides $354,605 in funding over a 3-year period from April 2025 to March 2028. The project aims to synthesize data on shallow benthic fluxes, or the exchange of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients between the seafloor and water column, along the East Coast of the United States. By combining observational data, modeling results, and long-term datasets, the project will...
The University of Rhode Island was awarded a $680,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on June 15, 2021 to fund research titled "How Do Multiple Coastal Stressors Structure the Genomic Diversity of Marine Populations?". The grant is being used to support basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through May 31, 2024 as part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, URI researchers will conduct studies to strengthen understanding of...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College was awarded a $331,979 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to conduct research on the ecological genomics of adaptation in a rocky shore predator-prey interaction. The research project aims to: 1) determine the level of migration and gene flow among populations of a low dispersing marine snail species, 2) identify genomic patterns of selection using environmental data and detailed...
