This $599,986 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine how coral reef-associated microbes influence ecological processes on coral reefs. The project aims to understand how organic matter released by benthic primary producers on coral reefs selects for specific microbial taxa, and how the metabolism of these core reef microbes facilitates nutrient cycling, calcification, and biodiversity. The research combines...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $873,836 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on August 15, 2024. The grant will fund a 5-year research project to investigate rapid evolution in reef-building corals during marine heatwave events. The project aims to study how the mortality induced by these extreme climate events changes the genetic composition of coral populations. Using a combination of field experiments...
The Coral Reef Research Foundation was awarded a $300,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award, made on June 1, 2021 for a period of performance through May 31, 2022, will support the acquisition of a SMALL AERIAL BATHYMETRIC/TOPOGRAPHIC LIDAR SYSTEM FOR TROPICAL MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL RESEARCH. This system will allow the Foundation to conduct remote sensing research of coral...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $783,165 research project titled "The Role of Diel Thermal Variability on Coral Performance" at Boston University. The project aims to understand how differences in diel thermal variability (DTV) influence the plasticity of coral thermal physiology and molecular function, focusing on the coral species Siderastrea siderea across sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The key...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $442,152 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Arizona State University to integrate nanobiotechnology approaches to understand the role of nitro-oxidative stress in the coral-dinoflagellate symbiotic relationship. The 3-year research project aims to create a 3D bioengineered coral model to study the cellular responses of both coral cells and dinoflagellate algae under stress conditions that can lead to coral...
This $331,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences' project to assess the potential of artificial upwelling to mitigate coral bleaching during heat waves. The project will substantially improve understanding of how artificial upwelling could be used to mitigate coral bleaching during periods of thermal stress by investigating the effects of different upwelling scenarios (varying depths and pulse...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral fellowship research titled "Tracing Coral Reef Energy Fluxes from Genes to Ecosystems in a Changing Climate." The two-year award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund fellowships for research examining how coral reef ecosystems respond to climate change impacts at multiple levels of biological organization, from genes to whole reef systems. The fellowships will be...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $767,109 to the University of Southern California from September 2022 through August 2025. The grant supports research into the role of adaptive plasticity in coral response to climate change. Specifically, the university will investigate the mechanistic basis and ecological consequences of morphological plasticity in the foundational Caribbean coral Acropora cervicornis. Researchers will...
