The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $626,831 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on the molecular mechanisms behind how certain bacteria use light-sensing proteins called phytochromes to regulate essential developmental processes. The project aims to use advanced structural biology techniques like cryo-electron microscopy and time-resolved X-ray crystallography to study...
This $472,597 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the photophysiology and bio-optics of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will employ an interdisciplinary approach including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced imaging to establish the light-harvesting properties of corals thriving at depths with extremely limited light availability. Specifically, the team will collect and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $373,168 supports collaborative research between the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Northeastern Illinois University to understand the molecular mechanisms behind how myxobacteria use phytochromes to sense light and convert that signal into developmental changes, such as fruiting body formation. The research will utilize cutting-edge techniques including time-resolved X-ray...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $277,074 provides funding over three years from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research between the University of Connecticut and Michigan State University. The researchers will investigate the photophysical mechanisms by which the orange carotenoid protein in cyanobacteria converts between resting and active states in response to light...
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 (NSF) awarded a $740,797 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and test new methodologies for the rational design of minimalistic light-switchable single-domain proteins. The goal is to engineer these proteins to bind specifically to target proteins in only one photoswitchable chromophore state, allowing for precise spatial and temporal control...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $698,430 project grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds research to shed light on the photochemistry of the LOV class of flavin photoreceptors. As part of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to identify a novel green fluorescent small molecule in the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Gyrodinium jinhaense AP17. The two-year award running from January 2023 to December 2024 will support postdoctoral research fellowship activities at Konstanz, Germany. The fellowship aims to determine the fluorescent molecule's structure, identify the underlying chemical and...
