This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to model coral reef adaptation and develop tools for coral reef conservation. The project aims to integrate three key mechanisms - larval connectivity, coral host genetics, and symbiotic algae dynamics - to predict how coral reefs may adapt to climate change. The research will construct mathematical models across multiple scales, from...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $384,490 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports a collaborative research project focused on "Integrating Nanobiotechnologies to Understand the Role of Nitro-Oxidative Stress in the Coral-Dinoflagellate Mutualistic Symbiosis Dynamics." The project aims to investigate the mechanisms behind coral bleaching events,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, through its Clinical Practices division, was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) on May 15, 2024. The grant supports research to understand whether life-long acclimatization to temperature variability can improve coral reef climate resilience and survival during severe marine heatwaves. The project compares coral community bleaching resilience and the gene expression and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Northwestern University in the amount of $299,986 will fund a project focused on developing biophotonic technologies to increase the resilience of coral reefs to the impacts of climate change-induced ocean warming. The project aims to use optical imaging techniques to understand the role of gene expression and chromatin remodeling in coral thermal stress tolerance, with the goal of identifying strategies to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $783,165 research project titled "The Role of Diel Thermal Variability on Coral Performance" at Boston University. The project aims to understand how differences in diel thermal variability (DTV) influence the plasticity of coral thermal physiology and molecular function, focusing on the coral species Siderastrea siderea across sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The key...
This $127,149 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund facility improvements and research at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, Inc. (CCMI) in the Cayman Islands. The award will leverage CCMI's 22-year record of coral reef research by establishing infrastructure for experiments on the physiological and molecular mechanisms driving coral reef resilience. Specifically, the funding will develop an outdoor mesocosm facility to...
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...
Florida State University received a two-year, $278,481 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 to study the mechanisms of coral resistance to climate change driven stressors in the tropical Eastern Pacific. As part of the Geosciences program's goal to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $328,131 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to investigate the role of corallivorous fish feces in supporting coral symbiont acquisition and coral health under thermal stress conditions. The research aims to quantify the contribution of corallivore feces to coral symbiont acquisition and test the extent to which...
