The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $231,912 Project Grant through its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Washington. The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate the hydrodynamic consequences of spines on zooplankton, with a focus on understanding the functional morphology of horns and tails on barnacle nauplii larvae. The study aims to determine how specific spine features impact forces, torques, and flow fields around...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $535,465 to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) for a collaborative research project titled "Biodesign: A Deep Dive into Dynamic Damping in Extreme Underwater Maneuvering". The primary goal is to investigate how fish achieve rapid maneuvers that exceed the capabilities of advanced robotic systems, focusing on the hypothesis that fish can dynamically modulate...
This $245,860 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research by Providence College to investigate how fish achieve rapid, highly maneuverable underwater movements. The research focuses on testing the hypothesis that fish dynamically modulate their body damping (resistance to bending speed) and stiffness to enable these extreme maneuvers, which surpass even state-of-the-art robotic systems. Through a combination...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems totals $318,112 to fund research on the functional design of siphonophore propulsion and behavior. The grant supports collaborative research between the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the NSF to advance understanding of major biological science questions, as outlined in the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to increase scientific knowledge of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of Maryland, College Park focused on understanding the 3-D fluid mechanics and fluid-structural interactions generated by fish and marine mammal caudal fins with non-uniform stiffness distributions. The $373,217 award, which runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2029, aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which these flexible propulsion systems achieve...
This $340,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate the minimum size of zooplankton swimmers required to generate sustained biogenic turbulence in the ocean. The research aims to improve understanding of how the motion of small organisms contributes to vertical mixing of heat and CO2 in the ocean, which is crucial for predicting...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to improve the understanding of biogenic turbulence, which refers to the mixing of heat and CO2 in the ocean driven by the motion of small organisms like zooplankton. The $259,994 award, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, will fund a collaborative research project between the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions to investigate the minimum swimmer size required to...
