The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $3 million Project Grant to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study biotic and abiotic drivers of pathogen transmission in marine systems influenced by climate change. Specifically, the award will fund research examining how climate change and other human impacts alter disease transmission dynamics in marine populations. The project focuses on investigating the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $343,157 Project Grant through its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This 2-year grant, starting on September 1, 2023, aims to leverage advanced metabolomics techniques to characterize the chemical signatures associated with stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) across coral microhabitats and the surrounding seawater. The key products and services to be delivered under this project include: Applying...
This $228,683 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the role of cleaning symbiosis in transferring microbes on coral reefs. Specifically, the University of Miami will study how cleanerfish may serve as keystone regulators of microbial communities, enhancing diversity and transferring key species between clients. Researchers will also assess if cleanerfish facilitate reef resilience by aiding microbial recovery after...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington will receive $473,768 from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to research the impacts of environmental signaling on the pathogenesis of the marine bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus in coral-reef building corals. Over a four-year period from July 2022 to June 2026, the grantee will examine how quorum sensing, temperature variations, and host-derived signals affect virulence factors in V....
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems.
