- The National Science Foundation awarded a $381,375 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to support research titled "Microscale Concave Interfaces for Structural Reflective Coloration" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Sponsored Projects Services, will utilize the funding to develop microscale concave interfaces for achieving structural reflective...
- 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 Project Grant award of $382,681 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at California State University, Dominguez Hills to investigate the taxonomic and geographic distribution of near-infrared (NIR) reflectivity in birds and insects. The project aims to develop a macroecological understanding of how NIR reflectivity, which is critical for thermal adaptation, varies across different animal species and environments. This research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) totaling $630,000 aims to develop "synthetic life-like materials and machines" using light-responsive active fluids. The project at Brandeis University will pursue two complementary research aims: Embedding a rigid inclusion in a photo-responsive active nematic liquid crystal to implement hybrid theory-experiment feedback and control the targeted dynamics of the...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $768,325 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms underlying how animals specialize for life in the deep ocean. The project will focus on studying the cell membranes of deep-sea animals, particularly ctenophores (comb jellies), to uncover the genetic and physicochemical adaptations that enable survival under the extreme...
- This $375,000 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund collaborative research between the University of Delaware and other partners to investigate room-temperature superfluorescence in multi-fluorophore protein cages. The researchers will chemically bind hundreds of molecular dyes to the protein shell of a small plant virus to induce synchronized...
- This $476,910 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining light signaling in marine photosynthetic organisms. Specifically, the grantee Southern Methodist University will investigate the function of blue light sensing proteins called aureochromes that are widely distributed in marine algae. The university will study the photochemical kinetics, expression patterns, and...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology.
