This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $593,028 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to support collaborative research on the evolutionary patterns and mechanisms of trait diversification in the Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation. Under the grant's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, the University will leverage a comprehensive genomic dataset comprising over 250,000 protein-coding exons and conserved non-coding elements across 44...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $323,227 to the University of Houston System to conduct research on the genetic mechanisms behind seasonal adaptations and antifreeze protein production in high latitude cod species. The research aims to understand how these fishes have adapted to survive in the freezing polar ocean environments. Key activities include observing seasonal changes to kidney morphology in cod species kept at...
This $455,199 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of California Santa Cruz to study genome evolution in polar fishes. The research will compare genomes of multiple polar and non-polar fish species to clarify how evolutionary rates vary in polar environments, identify general trends shaping adaptive trajectories of polar fishes, and determine how functional differences influence the evolution...
Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
The University of Oregon was awarded a $1,915,645 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to study the evolution of sex determination in Antarctic notothenioid fish. The key objectives of the 4-year project are to: 1) Identify sex chromosomes across major groups of Antarctic notothenioid fish; 2) Discover potential sex determination genes in these fish; and 3) Examine sex chromosomes and sex determination genes in temperate notothenioid fish....
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $210,495 to support research examining how microbial extremophiles in Antarctica respond to environmental changes in salinity. Led by researchers at the University of Tennessee, the grant will fund comparative analyses of gene expression patterns and secondary metabolite production in lab microcosm studies using microbial isolates previously...
