This $690,650 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development and testing of a field-ready, cost-effective sound playback system for conducting eco-acoustic and marine larval settlement studies. The system will enable researchers to easily manipulate and introduce sound cues in field experiments to investigate how sound impacts diverse marine fauna, with a focus on coral reef ecosystems. The 2-year effort will build,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
This $228,683 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the role of cleaning symbiosis in transferring microbes on coral reefs. Specifically, the University of Miami will study how cleanerfish may serve as keystone regulators of microbial communities, enhancing diversity and transferring key species between clients. Researchers will also assess if cleanerfish facilitate reef resilience by aiding microbial recovery after...
This $990,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports the development of a bioinspired sensor attachment device to enable long-term telemetry monitoring of critically endangered marine organisms. The project aims to design and test a tagging device modeled after remora fish that can attach securely for extended periods without harming the animal. The overarching goal is to radically improve the reliability of...
This $298,134 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research exploring the role of environmental nitrite and nitric oxide in modulating olfactory function in goldfish. Principal investigator Texas State University will study how goldfish uptake nitrogenous compounds in their noses, how nitric oxide is generated to control neuronal activity even under low-oxygen conditions, and whether nitric oxide can be produced through...
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...
This $1,016,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will fund the development and application of a low-cost, portable biosensing platform for detecting and monitoring waterborne pathogens in aquaculture and coastal environments. The University of Massachusetts Lowell, as the prime awardee, will lead the effort to adapt its patented biosensing technology to enable real-time pathogen detection and...
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) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IDEAS LAB: SMARTER MICROBIAL OBSERVATORIES FOR REALTIME EXPERIMENTS (SMORES)" project. This three-year project aims to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler array and intelligent control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface...
This $360,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the effects of atmospheric pollutants on plant-pollinator interactions and the processing of floral scents. The project will use the nocturnal moth (Manduca sexta) and diurnal honeybee (Apis mellifera) as model pollinators to examine how daytime (ozone, hydroxyl radicals) and nighttime (nitrate radicals) pollutants degrade diverse floral scents,...
