This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
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,...

The funding will support the development of a new seafloor sensor/sampler array and advanced control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant totaling $690,714 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the direct measurement of in situ growth and growth limitation of bacterioplankton species in the ocean. The research is funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The key objective of this...
This $212,317 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to advance the understanding of microbial dispersal and biodiversity in deep-sea seafloor sediments. The lead awardee, Idaho State University, will use thermophilic bacteria as model organisms to investigate how fluid flows, such as from hydrocarbon seeps and hydrothermal vents, can transport viable microbes from the deep biosphere to the seafloor. The research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $622,016 to develop a novel self-powered, multimodal MEMS sensor array that can simultaneously detect pH, pressure, and temperature in marine environments. The key research objectives are: (1) designing, fabricating, and testing the multimodal sensor; (2) developing an ocean wave energy converter to sustainably power the sensor system; and (3) integrating and field-testing...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $597,248 supports research into applying novel approaches to link microbial growth efficiency, function, and energy transfer in the ocean. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will further understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will conduct research from September 2023 to August 2026 to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $551,813 CAREER grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan - Office of Research and Sponsored Projects.
