- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will test the marine biodiversity gradient of sponges in the tropical Pacific Ocean under a two-year, $959,716 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant award. The award period is from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. As part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the university will examine whether the well-known decline in...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $1,153,766 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for the project "Collaborative Research: Bridging the Space-Time Continuum to Investigate How Biodiversity Scales Across Subterranean Systems." Through this funding effective March 1, 2022 and concluding February 28, 2026, the University of Hawaii will deliver several key products and services. Specifically, the University will...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the ecological genomics of the Great Star Coral cryptic species complex in Florida. The $426,296 grant, awarded on December 15, 2024, will fund a project to investigate the resilience and ecological differentiation of the six genetically distinct lineages (cryptic species) within the Montastrea cavernosa coral species. The research team at the University of Texas...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $468,500 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on February 15, 2021 to complete the project by January 31, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote basic biological research and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant funds an Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site focused on DNA-based discoveries in Hawaii's biodiversity. The University of...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $723,890 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant supports research exploring the molecular mechanisms of symbiosis stability in reef-building corals from March 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The NSF Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
- This $472,597 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the photophysiology and bio-optics of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will employ an interdisciplinary approach including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced imaging to establish the light-harvesting properties of corals thriving at depths with extremely limited light availability. Specifically, the team will collect and...
This two-year, $215,035 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support novel target-enriched genomic approaches to assess gorgonian octocoral diversity on Indo-Pacific mesophotic coral reefs. The University of Hawaii at Manoa will apply genomic techniques developed by the National Museum of Natural History to analyze the PI's rare gorgonian collection from shallow and mesophotic reefs in the Indo-Pacific. This will facilitate developing a multi-trait framework to examine phylogenetic relationships and population structure of gorgonian taxa across depths, with an exemplar case study of the genus Annella. Results will advance understanding of this important but poorly resolved coral group in biodiversity hotspots. The funding also supports training a female graduate student from a Pacific coastal nation in these genomic methods and disseminating results to further build regional research capacity.
