The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $2,746,722 Project Grant to Alaska Pacific University (APU) to conduct research on how variation in host susceptibility to pathogens arises and shifts across thermal gradients. The 5-year project from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028 will test mechanistic models using laboratory and field data on Pacific herring, a key marine forage fish, and their cold- and warm-water adapted pathogens. This research aims to increase...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This $738,152 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports an integrated research project at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate how rising ocean temperatures affect predatory marine invertebrate species and their interactions with prey blue mussels in the Gulf of Maine. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the thermal physiology of native and invasive predatory crabs and blue mussels, 2) conduct mesocosm experiments to...
This $520,375 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the impact of environmental signaling on the pathogenesis of the marine bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus in reef-building corals. The research team from Indiana University, Tel Aviv University, and the University of North Carolina Wilmington will identify virulence genes and regulators in V. coralliilyticus that respond to quorum sensing, temperature...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth received a $304,351 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on "Collaborative Research: ORCC: Carryover Effects of Multiple Climate Change Stressors in Oysters: Mechanisms and Consequences Across Stages of Ontogeny." The research aims to experimentally test how early life exposure to ocean warming and low dissolved oxygen affects the Eastern Oyster's responses to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,915 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) with a start date of September 1, 2024 and end date of August 31, 2029. The grant is funding research to investigate the physical mechanisms driving disease transmission in seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. The key objectives are to: 1) study the flow-mediated spread of seagrass wasting disease and transport of coral pathogens through...
This $815,899 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting research to elucidate the ecological and evolutionary drivers of marine giant virus community dynamics. The principal investigator and their team at the University of Miami are conducting a comprehensive, year-long time-series analysis in Quantuck Bay, New York to map the genetic diversity, metabolic capacities, and ecological strategies of nucleocytoplasmic large...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) a $652,262 Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on how microbial symbionts protect eelgrass from the impacts of thermal stress associated with global climate change. The research aims to: (1) assess the assembly and function of the eelgrass microbiome under ambient and elevated temperature conditions, (2) determine how...
Florida State University received a two-year, $278,481 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 to study the mechanisms of coral resistance to climate change driven stressors in the tropical Eastern Pacific. As part of the Geosciences program's goal to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct research on the "Thermal Community Ecology of Disease" over a 2-year period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. This research project under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) seeks to understand how changes in temperature impact the dynamics of infectious diseases within ecological...
