The National Science Foundation awarded a $682,336 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support collaborative research revealing essential regulatory proteins in tardigrade cryptobiosis from April 15, 2022 through March 31, 2025. The award will fund a multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Marshall University to comprehensively map the...
This $306,783 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research by Appalachian State University to study the mechanism by which tardigrade-specific proteins can protect biomolecules from temperature-induced damage. The project aims to understand how tardigrades, also known as water bears, survive elevated temperatures, which could enable the development of more robust formulations for commercial...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $378,347 Project Grant to Yale University to investigate the molecular mechanisms that allow tardigrades, a type of microorganism, to survive extreme environmental stresses such as desiccation, temperature, radiation, and pressure. The research under this CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences program award aims to develop a detailed physiochemical understanding of the structure and function of tardigrade disordered proteins, which are believed to play...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Neural Basis of Coordinated, Multi-Limbed Movement in an Emerging Model Tardigrade Species." The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund postdoctoral research from June...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $768,325 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms underlying how animals specialize for life in the deep ocean. The project will focus on studying the cell membranes of deep-sea animals, particularly ctenophores (comb jellies), to uncover the genetic and physicochemical adaptations that enable survival under the extreme...
This $795,135 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Illinois on protein dynamics under extreme environmental conditions. The four-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will fund three related subprojects investigating how proteins adapt to enable organism survival in stressful environments like heat, pressure and dehydration. The research will study intrinsically disordered protein structure and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $428,994 to the University of Delaware to conduct collaborative research on how deep-sea animals adapt to extreme conditions in the ocean. The research team will use the comb jelly (ctenophore) as a model organism to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms that allow marine organisms to survive freezing temperatures and...
This federal Project Grant award of $249,000.00 was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship, titled "Studying a Local Species to Prepare for a Global Crisis: Unfurling Mechanisms of Desiccation Tolerance from the Resurrection Fern Pleopeltis," will be hosted by the Baylor College of Medicine under the sponsorship of Dr. Steven Boeynaems. The research aims to characterize...
The University of Alabama was awarded a $124,325 project grant from the National Science Foundation to support research titled "CAREER: THE EVOLUTION OF WATER BEAR RESILIENCE." The grant was awarded on February 15, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) of the NSF.
