The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Boise State University to study the mechanisms governing the formation and stability of species-rich microbial communities. The funding is provided through the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which supports activities that build capacity for science and engineering and broaden participation in research and education. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to characterize the environmental factors...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,006 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The 3-year project, starting September 1, 2024, will integrate geochemical, microbiological, geophysical, and geological data to investigate the origin, subsurface migration, and methane oxidation processes of these recently discovered seeps. The multidisciplinary research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,968 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) grant to Portland State University (PSU) for the project "Fertilizing the Tree of Life with Novel Taxa from Deep-Sea Vent Microbial Metagenomes Collected Over Time and Space". The grant supports research to characterize the spatial and temporal genomic diversity of microbes found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The project will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IDEAS LAB: SMARTER MICROBIAL OBSERVATORIES FOR REALTIME EXPERIMENTS (SMORES)" project. This three-year project aims to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler array and intelligent control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface...
This $599,986 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine how coral reef-associated microbes influence ecological processes on coral reefs. The project aims to understand how organic matter released by benthic primary producers on coral reefs selects for specific microbial taxa, and how the metabolism of these core reef microbes facilitates nutrient cycling, calcification, and biodiversity. The research combines...
This $387,090 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to enhance understanding of nitrogen cycling in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. The project will employ specialized high-pressure equipment to conduct experiments measuring rates of nitrogen loss, recycling, and microbial assimilation across redox gradients at two distinct seafloor vent habitats. This work aims to address limitations...
This $155,698 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA #47.083, supports a collaborative research project led by Mississippi State University (MSU) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological controls on recently discovered methane seeps in the northern U.S. Atlantic margin, in order to improve understanding of methane's role in climate. Key...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
This $732,388 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to document the biodiversity of microbial eukaryotes, such as protists, across geothermal spring systems. The research aims to discover new species, describe their adaptations to extreme environments, and enhance understanding of eukaryotic diversity. Key activities include single-cell profiling, culturing, and microscopy-based analyses to infer...
