Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will further understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will conduct research from September 2023 to August 2026 to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant totaling $690,714 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the direct measurement of in situ growth and growth limitation of bacterioplankton species in the ocean. The research is funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The key objective of this...
This $590,677 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to enhance understanding of the diversity, assembly, and evolution of microbiomes associated with marine invertebrates. The award to New College of Florida supports the following key activities: Investigating how and why particular microbes are hosted by different invertebrates, whether microbial diversity is related to host diversity, and how these associations change over...
This three-year, $623,934 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the physiological controls of trait expression, nutrient allocation, and elemental stoichiometry in the phytoplankton Synechococcus. The awardee, University of California Irvine, will conduct continuous culture experiments with common phytoplankton strains under varying nutrient supply ratios, temperature, and growth conditions. Biochemical...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a research effort by Duke University to develop and apply an integrated experimental and computational approach to uncover the design principles that govern microbiome function. The key objectives are to: Elucidate the molecular-level networks and cellular processes that determine how the addition of new microbial species impacts overall microbiome function, using...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $315,954 to Portland State University to conduct research on the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The 3-year project aims to quantify the surface characteristics of major marine microbial groups and assess how these properties influence feeding selectivity and fate of particles by suspension-feeding organisms like...
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 $599,986 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
