- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $442,152 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Arizona State University to integrate nanobiotechnology approaches to understand the role of nitro-oxidative stress in the coral-dinoflagellate symbiotic relationship. The 3-year research project aims to create a 3D bioengineered coral model to study the cellular responses of both coral cells and dinoflagellate algae under stress conditions that can lead to coral...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $800,219 to the College of the Holy Cross to conduct research on the energetic tradeoffs in the facultative symbiosis between the coral Astrangia poculata and its algal symbiont Breviolum psygmophilum. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) quantify the effects of symbiotic state on the coral's reproductive investment and larval performance, which are key fitness...
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research investigating the cellular mechanisms and evolution of coral-algal symbiosis. The fellow will characterize the symbiosome membrane proteome in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana and coral Acropora millepora to better understand the fundamental processes governing the critical symbiotic relationship between corals and algae. Through techniques including...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $551,633 is funding research to elucidate the mechanisms that enable symbiotic dinoflagellates to proliferate within cnidarian hosts, such as coral, after thermal stress disrupts the symbiosis. The project, awarded to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will leverage a symbiodiniaceae pigment mutant and the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana model system to employ...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000.00 provides funding for a postdoctoral fellowship to study the chemical, molecular, and cellular processes involved in the symbiotic relationship between cnidarians (such as coral) and algae. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms that allow for specific partnerships to form between these organisms, which is critical for understanding and conserving coral reef ecosystems. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the mechanisms underlying coral bleaching. The research aims to identify the genetic factors and host proteins that regulate the formation and breakdown of the symbiotic relationship between corals and photosynthetic algae, which is crucial for coral survival. The fellow will develop methods to isolate and...
- This $899,809 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing ciliate-algal symbiosis. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will utilize a single-celled ciliate model to identify genotype-phenotype relationships and discover novel genes governing endosymbiosis with dinoflagellate algae....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $384,490 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports a collaborative research project focused on "Integrating Nanobiotechnologies to Understand the Role of Nitro-Oxidative Stress in the Coral-Dinoflagellate Mutualistic Symbiosis Dynamics." The project aims to investigate the mechanisms behind coral bleaching events,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to examine the reproductive energetic tradeoffs of facultative symbioses in the Northern Star Coral (Astrangia poculata). The project, awarded to Trustees of Tufts College, will leverage the coral's flexible symbiotic relationship with its algal symbiont to investigate how symbiosis affects the coral's energy allocation towards key life functions such as...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $138,000 to uncover the molecular mechanisms that govern cnidarian-algal symbiosis using forward genetic screens. Funded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award will support research to increase scientific knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences. Using forward genetic approaches, the grantee will conduct...
