- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $220,703 Project Grant to the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The three-year award beginning May 1, 2023 will support collaborative research between the Bishop Museum and University of Hawaii at Manoa to address knowledge gaps critical to advancing conservation of native Hawaiian land flora and fauna. Specifically, the grantees will conduct microbial...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will use a $2.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation to understand how microbes govern food web architecture and efficiency in a model watershed. The grant was awarded on January 15, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will support research through December 31, 2026. As part of its basic research mission, the Biological Sciences program aims to increase scientific knowledge of major problems confronting the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded $387,134 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa through the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to support the REU Site: Ka'ao: Telling the Stories of Hawaiian Ecosystems project from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The project will train 30 undergraduate students, primarily from underrepresented groups in Hawaii, in place-based biocultural restoration research in terrestrial and marine ecosystems on...
- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This two-year, $215,035 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support novel target-enriched genomic approaches to assess gorgonian octocoral diversity on Indo-Pacific mesophotic coral reefs. The University of Hawaii at Manoa will apply genomic techniques developed by the National Museum of Natural History to analyze the PI's rare gorgonian collection from shallow and mesophotic reefs in the Indo-Pacific. This will facilitate...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $892,290 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research characterizing mesophoric seaweeds in Hawaii from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. Key products and services include collecting, identifying, and describing previously unknown mesophoric seaweed species from Hawaii to add to biodiversity data and herbarium collections. The university will also conduct the first investigation of genomic adaptations in red, green, and brown seaweeds living in low-light mesophoric zones through comparative genomics analysis. The research aims to train the next generation of algal biologists and broadly communicate results through scientific conferences and publications. Permanently archived mesophoric seaweed collections and an open-access database hosted at the Bishop Museum will be delivered. The award supports the program's goal of increasing biological sciences knowledge and understanding of major issues through basic research.
