The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,363,205 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The project aims to investigate differences in how oxygen is delivered to skeletal muscles in pinnipeds (e.g., sea lions) versus cetaceans (e.g., dolphins) during long-duration dives. The research team will evaluate in vivo oxygen...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program provides $643,665 to the National Marine Mammal Foundation, Inc. to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The 4-year project, beginning December 1, 2023, will evaluate and model in vivo oxygen delivery during dive simulations with California sea lions and bottlenose dolphins. It will also elucidate the biochemical mechanisms regulating red blood cell oxygen...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research investigating pulmonary adaptations among marine mammals from March 1, 2021 to February 29, 2024. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, this award will broaden participation of Native Americans in...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $724,026 supports research at the University of Michigan from March 2023 through February 2028 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The award will fund the creation of a dynamic modeling framework to advance understanding of bottlenose dolphin swimming mechanics. Researchers will gather kinematic data from electronic tags attached to free-swimming dolphins measuring movement and caloric expenditure. They will combine these data with...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $170,879 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project, spanning May 2025 to April 2026, aims to examine how oceanographic variables influence the distribution and habitat preferences of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) around the South Shetland Islands. The project will utilize previously collected passive acoustic data and satellite...
This $118,832 Project Grant, awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Marine Mammal Data Program (CFDA 11.439), supports the following key activities at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025: Sustaining the data collection efforts of the Long Marine Lab (LML) and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) marine mammal stranding networks through hiring a part-time stranding technician at UCSC and funding a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $700,944, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to identify and map biological hotspots in the open ocean and the twilight zone (200-1000 m depth) using Northern elephant seals as ecosystem sentinels. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year project (Aug 2025 - Jul 2030) include: Identifying 3-dimensional biological hotspots in the open ocean - areas with high primary productivity that are critical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $145,931 to The Chicago Zoological Society, operating as Brookfield Zoo, for a collaborative research project to study collective behavior in highly intelligent animals, specifically bottlenose dolphins. The project aims to generate new knowledge about how acoustic communication mediates physical and physiological responses within fluid dolphin groups, leveraging...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal Project Grant award of $138,016 to the Regents of the University of Michigan will support research towards understanding collective behavior in highly intelligent animals, specifically dolphins. The research aims to uncover how acoustic communication and information encoded in vocal cues facilitate coordinated group behavior and influence the emotional states of dolphins. The project will combine...
