Stanford University was awarded a three-year, $751,285 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research to quantify nitrogen fixation rates of non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs and environmental controls on their activity from April 2021 through March 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's mission to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IDEAS LAB: SMARTER MICROBIAL OBSERVATORIES FOR REALTIME EXPERIMENTS (SMORES)" project. This three-year project aims to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler array and intelligent control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $257,498 will support research to characterize Rhizosolenia mat ecosystems and determine whether they obtain nitrogen from nitrogen-fixing microbes in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The project, led by researchers at Stanford University, aims to provide the first detailed characterization of mat-forming Rhizosolenia diatoms and their associated diazotroph communities using a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $296,375 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the project "Collaborative Research: The Effects of SUP05 Cells and Virocells on Nitrogen Cycling in Marine Oxygen Minimum Zones." This interdisciplinary study aims to evaluate the role of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) in regulating nitrogen cycling and loss processes...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $279,809 to the University of California Irvine to quantify the relationship between environmental conditions and the particulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ratios of marine microorganisms. Over the three-year period from February 2022 to January 2025, the researchers will characterize the distribution of biomass stoichiometric traits for...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $597,248 supports research into applying novel approaches to link microbial growth efficiency, function, and energy transfer in the ocean. 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...
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. The grant will fund research to understand how the diverse metabolic activities of microbes associated with coral reef ecosystems mediate key biogeochemical processes and respond to environmental changes, such as the proliferation of macroalgae. The research will involve three main...
This $212,317 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to advance the understanding of microbial dispersal and biodiversity in deep-sea seafloor sediments. The lead awardee, Idaho State University, will use thermophilic bacteria as model organisms to investigate how fluid flows, such as from hydrocarbon seeps and hydrothermal vents, can transport viable microbes from the deep biosphere to the seafloor. The research...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $539,985 supports research into the stoichiometric trait distribution of the marine microbiome.
