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...
The University of Chicago received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and will support collaborative research testing the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat was a common kill mechanism for major mass extinction events. The research will be conducted between September 2021 and August 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. The goal of the NSF's Geosciences program is to...
This $338,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a study on using fossil bivalves to understand the controls on longevity and establish a paleobiological learning ecosystem in Southeast Texas. The project aims to examine the lifespans and growth rates of fossil bivalves to understand the evolutionary relationships and environmental factors affecting longevity. In addition to the research, the project provides authentic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $137,133 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of California, Merced. This 3-year award, effective September 1, 2025, supports collaborative research between UC Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks to reconstruct the interactions of ancient marine species communities and their responses to climate change and resource exploitation over time. The research aims to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences totals $656,580 to support research investigating the role of microbialites in Lower-Middle Ordovician reefs of Laurentia. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund quantification of framework builders in Early-Middle...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,986,439 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The grant, titled "RAMP: MAKING MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS: FOSTERING THE INTEGRATION OF BIODIVERSITY PATTERNS WITH GENETIC EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS (BIOGEM)", will support a multi-year research and training program focused on understanding organismal responses...
The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography was awarded a $673,107 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research between the awardee and other institutions to integrate phylogenomics with the fossil record to advance macroevolutionary research using sea urchins as a model clade. The Biological Sciences program aims...
The Stony Brook University Research Foundation received a three-year, $201,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research integrating tectonics, surface processes and paleobiodiversity using numerical and observational approaches. The grant was awarded June 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the geosciences through basic research of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
