This $218,479 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research on the adaptability of photosynthetic marine microorganisms' carbon dioxide concentrating mechanisms to changing climatic conditions. Specifically, the University of Colorado Boulder will experimentally evolve five phytoplankton groups with distinct CO2-concentrating mechanisms to quantify their plastic and adaptive...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This Project Grant award, worth $905,118, was provided by the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under CFDA Program 47.078 to the University of Rhode Island Research Office. The funding will support a collaborative research project examining how the chemistry of fossil diatoms (a type of plankton) can be used as proxies to reconstruct past changes in ocean nutrients and biological productivity, which are linked to global climate change. The research will involve field...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $298,228 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. This two-year grant funds research to investigate how marine diatoms use proton-pumping rhodopsins as an alternative energy source under conditions of high light and low iron that hinder photosynthesis. The research aims to provide insight on how diatoms, which are responsible for a...
This three-year, $623,934 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the physiological controls of trait expression, nutrient allocation, and elemental stoichiometry in the phytoplankton Synechococcus. The awardee, University of California Irvine, will conduct continuous culture experiments with common phytoplankton strains under varying nutrient supply ratios, temperature, and growth conditions. Biochemical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,101,964 project grant to the Institute For Systems Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IMAGINE: QUANTIFYING DIATOM RESILIENCE IN AN ACIDIFIED OCEAN." The grant, awarded June 15, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2024, will fund research to increase scientific understanding of how diatom populations respond and adapt to increasing ocean acidification. The Biological...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $825,297 to The Trustees of Columbia University for the period of August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant supports experimental refinement of the boron isotope proxy in planktic foraminifera to better understand temperature, asensitivity, and seawater elemental composition. A subaward of $50,000 is provided to Vassar College to...
This $212,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs aims to improve understanding of how different phytoplankton species affect carbon fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers from the University of Washington will map phytoplankton community composition and characterize the physical environment to estimate how much carbon enters the ocean, is exported to the deep ocean, and the total amount of phytoplankton. By synthesizing modeled...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
