This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $119,948, with a start date of September 1, 2024 and an end date of August 31, 2027, supports research to investigate the impact of diatom-derived polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) on the embryonic and larval development of ecologically and economically important forage fish species, Pacific herring and surf smelt, in the North Pacific ecosystem. The research team from the University of Maryland Center...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine the impacts of diatom-derived polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) on the embryonic and larval development of ecologically and economically important forage fish species in the North Pacific ecosystem. The $638,888 award to Western Washington University will fund field surveys to quantify the prevalence of PUA-producing diatoms in the Salish Sea, as well as laboratory...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support research at Washington State University (WSU) to investigate how environmental stress and heterogeneity impact physiological variation within animal populations, using California mussels as a model. The $290,422 award, which runs from August 2024 to July 2028, will fund experiments combining manipulative thermal treatments with state-of-the-art proteomics...
This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,072 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to Portland State University (PSU) effective March 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year research project focused on studying the cellular-level responses of Antarctic fish to increasing water temperatures associated with climate change. Key activities include analyzing existing tissue samples from Antarctic fish to characterize their proteome and identify proteins...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $231,912 Project Grant through its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Washington. The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate the hydrodynamic consequences of spines on zooplankton, with a focus on understanding the functional morphology of horns and tails on barnacle nauplii larvae. The study aims to determine how specific spine features impact forces, torques, and flow fields around...
