This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award provides $795,209 to Brown University to create the next generation of tools to enhance the utility of sea urchins as research models. The overarching goals of this 4-year project are to: 1) develop simple and efficient protocols for culturing cells from sea urchin embryos to investigate gene function in vitro; 2) enable rapid, scalable DNA transfection of embryos, adult tissues, and cell cultures for...
This Project Grant award, valued at $415,782.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Baylor University. The funding will support research to study how the evolution of feeding structure morphology in sea urchins is influenced by functional performance, and how this performance impacts the long-term evolution and ecology of these animals. The researchers plan to create a publicly accessible online database of 3D digital scans of all known...
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...
This $185,422 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by Northwestern University to identify and characterize proteins involved in controlling the growth of single crystal structures in sea urchin embryos. The goal is to develop a mechanistic understanding of how the expression, localization, and impact of these proteins on nucleation and crystal growth may enable bio-inspired and bio-enabled...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $142,508 Project Grant to the California Academy of Sciences to support collaborative research integrating phylogenomics with the fossil record of sea urchins. The goal of this three-year award, running from April 2021 through March 2024, is to advance understanding of macroevolutionary patterns in sea urchins through integrating modern genomic techniques with the fossil record of this model clade. This award supports the Biological Sciences program's...
This Project Grant award, valued at $231,912, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Washington (UW) to study the hydrodynamic consequences of spines on zooplankton, particularly barnacle nauplii larvae. The key objectives of this research project are to: (1) determine the functional consequences of the presence, location, and morphology of spines on hydrodynamic forces and torques; (2) examine the impacts of spines...
