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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $370,065 Project Grant to Boise State University to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms behind biological ice nucleators, which play a critical role in the Earth's climate and ecosystems. The project, titled "CAREER: Elucidating Biogenic Control of Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation," aims to: Elucidate how superior bacterial ice nucleators induce ice formation, 2) Unravel the correlation between ice-nucleating abilities and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $323,227 to the University of Houston System to investigate the genetic mechanisms that enable certain species of high latitude cod to adapt their kidney function and morphology to seasonally variable polar environments. The research aims to employ genomic techniques to discover how these fish species, which include the polar cod, Pacific cod, walleye pollock, and saffron cod, have adapted...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $710,128 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY) to conduct collaborative research on the "Energy Landscapes of Designed Cold Unfolding Proteins." The research aims to enhance understanding of the distinct three-dimensional shapes that proteins can adopt at extreme cold temperatures and high...
This $2,945,234 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research integrating paleogenomics, ecology, and geology to predict organism-environment coupled evolution during rapid warming and ice sheet retreat. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York will receive funding from Feb 1, 2023 to Jan 31, 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research will examine ecosystem responses to ice-age environmental change in Southeast Alaska, a region...
This $306,783 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research by Appalachian State University to study the mechanism by which tardigrade-specific proteins can protect biomolecules from temperature-induced damage. The project aims to understand how tardigrades, also known as water bears, survive elevated temperatures, which could enable the development of more robust formulations for commercial...
The University of Alaska Anchorage was awarded a $449,954 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "LTREB: LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF ASYMMETRIC WARMING AT THE TUNDRA-TAIGA INTERFACE" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project grant will support research from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 exploring the long-term consequences of asymmetric warming where the tundra and taiga biomes meet. The Biological Sciences program aims...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $2,746,722 Project Grant to Alaska Pacific University (APU) to conduct research on how variation in host susceptibility to pathogens arises and shifts across thermal gradients. The 5-year project from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028 will test mechanistic models using laboratory and field data on Pacific herring, a key marine forage fish, and their cold- and warm-water adapted pathogens. This research aims to increase...
This three-year, $162,238 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research between Yale University, Stony Brook University, and researchers at examining and developing biomimetic peptides that inhibit ice formation. The researchers aim to understand and mimic antifreeze proteins in nature to generate synthetic antifreeze molecules for applications such as biological material preservation, food processing...
This $891,697 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to the high pressure conditions of the deep ocean. The research will use techniques in genomics, chemistry, biophysics, and physiology to compare the genetic code and protein structures of fishes across habitat depths, from surface waters to the deepest ocean trenches. This will provide insights into how high...
