- The National Science Foundation awarded a $996,521 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The goal of the research project is to scale single-cell physiology studies to better understand community stability in the natural gut microbiome. As part of this work, Johns Hopkins University will expand its microbiome curriculum to additional middle schools in Baltimore County...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will provide $382,727 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project will develop a comprehensive "gene annotation pipeline" toolbox to rapidly identify the functions of unknown genes, especially in non-model organisms. This will involve creating a library of microbial strains that can select for key metabolic reactions...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The Johns Hopkins University received a $237,116 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028. This collaborative research initiative will deliver scientific research outputs addressing harmful algal bloom (HAB) forecasting through an integrated molecular, ecological, and statistical approach. The primary...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The Johns Hopkins University received a $900,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028. This award supports research examining the mechanistic roles of hyper-divergent genomic regions in gene-by-environment interactions using nematode species as model organisms. The research employs advanced genomics...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $1,400,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, also known as Sponsored Projects Services, a non-profit research administration organization. This 5-year grant will fund collaborative research to investigate the role of environmental factors like temperature, heavy metals, and other contaminants in the development of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers Project Grant award to The Johns Hopkins University is part of the Biological Sciences CFDA 47.074 program. The $312,597 grant, running from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to determine the relationship between microbial genes and ecosystem processes in order to improve biogeochemical models for nutrient management. The project will focus on the microbial process of denitrification, which removes excess nitrogen pollution, to investigate how gene abundance data can enhance the predictive value of models used in managing the Chesapeake Bay and wastewater treatment. Through controlled lab experiments and engagement with water management and community partners, the research aims to develop solutions for incorporating microbial gene abundance as a measure of denitrification to improve model predictions guiding ecosystem management decisions.
