This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $323,227 provides funding for a study to understand the genetic mechanisms that allow certain fish species to adapt to the freezing temperatures of polar oceans. The research focuses on several cod species found in high-latitude regions, examining how they seasonally modify their kidney structure and function to maintain high concentrations of antifreeze proteins needed to survive the extreme cold. The...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $593,028 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to support collaborative research on the evolutionary patterns and mechanisms of trait diversification in the Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation. Under the grant's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, the University will leverage a comprehensive genomic dataset comprising over 250,000 protein-coding exons and conserved non-coding elements across 44...
The University of California, Santa Barbara received a $308,547 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2023. The grant funding supports research into the role of epigenetic DNA methylation mechanisms in the tolerance and resistance of Antarctic pteropods to ocean acidification and warming. The Polar Programs grant program aims to strengthen fundamental polar region research that is...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,072 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to Portland State University (PSU) effective March 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year research project focused on studying the cellular-level responses of Antarctic fish to increasing water temperatures associated with climate change. Key activities include analyzing existing tissue samples from Antarctic fish to characterize their proteome and identify proteins...
The University of Oregon was awarded a $1,915,645 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to study the evolution of sex determination in Antarctic notothenioid fish. The key objectives of the 4-year project are to: 1) Identify sex chromosomes across major groups of Antarctic notothenioid fish; 2) Discover potential sex determination genes in these fish; and 3) Examine sex chromosomes and sex determination genes in temperate notothenioid fish....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078), provides $356,975 to support research examining the genomic mechanisms controlling the slow development of the Antarctic sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri. Over three years from September 2022 through August 2025, a team of researchers led by the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will conduct laboratory experiments to identify the gene...
