This $4,221,501 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to strengthen the capabilities of algae-related research infrastructure in Maine. The primary awardee, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, will lead collaborations with partners to enhance science and entrepreneurial training, and workforce development programs focused on algae biology, biotechnology, and hands-on internships. The project will build a...
This $576,433 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to conduct research on elucidating organic and inorganic nitrogen processes in algal resource recovery. The goal is to understand the types of nutrients that make algae more toxic in the environment and improve wastewater treatment processes to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution that can...
This $108,340 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) funds research to investigate how dissolved organic matter impacts the degradation of chlorinated organic contaminants when exposed to sunlight. Principal Investigators (PIs) at Auburn University and Florida Atlantic University will study the photodegradation pathways of 1,2-dichlorobenzene and triclosan in the presence of dissolved organic matter from algae and the...
This Project Grant award of $420,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research by the University of Massachusetts to develop an affordable and energy-efficient technology for removing nitrogen and phosphorus from municipal wastewater. The project will explore the use of oxygenic photogranules (OPGs) - dense, naturally forming clusters of algae and bacteria that can remove nutrients from wastewater through photosynthesis and microbial...
This $439,396 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University from September 2022 to August 2025 to develop a model microbial consortium for interrogating organic matter decomposition and carbon cycling in coastal systems under changing environmental conditions. Researchers will integrate field, laboratory, and modeling work to examine the functional roles and responses to temperature variation of diverse...
This $996,717 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) supports Waihome LLC, a for-profit small business, in developing an affordable and resilient onsite wastewater treatment solution. The project aims to design and pilot test an above-ground treatment unit that utilizes a symbiotic algal-bacterial biofilm to provide high-quality aerobic wastewater treatment, addressing issues with the performance and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services Division. The 3-year project aims to investigate the metabolic cooperation between a phototrophic bacterium and a methanogenic archaeon, and how this "syntrophic" interaction influences methane production and the nitrogen cycle in anoxic environments. The research will shed light on how these...
This $650,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of engineered microbial sensors for assessing water quality. The primary objective is to create new low-cost sensing systems that can detect chemicals in water throughout the water cycle, including wastewater treatment, drinking water, industrial use, and stormwater discharges. The project employs a convergence research...
The University of Florida received a three-year, $330,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to research the atmospheric processes of microcystins in airborne cyanobacterial aerosols. Funded through NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 examining the transport and breakdown of toxins produced by cyanobacteria in atmospheric conditions. As the place of performance, the University will leverage its...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $191,371 Project Grant to the University of Florida to conduct research on the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between plants and bacteria.
