This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $119,948, with a start date of September 1, 2024 and an end date of August 31, 2027, supports research to investigate the impact of diatom-derived polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) on the embryonic and larval development of ecologically and economically important forage fish species, Pacific herring and surf smelt, in the North Pacific ecosystem. The research team from the University of Maryland Center...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $273,464 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Western Washington University. The award will support research utilizing high-throughput proteomics to build a conceptual model of the effects of environmental change on early life stages of genetically diverse Pacific herring populations. Key products include a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving these forage fish's temperature response and workforce development in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), aims to improve understanding and potentially prediction of changing harmful algal bloom (HAB) conditions in the Pacific Arctic region. The $479,883 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will support the development of an expanded Regional Arctic System Model (RASM-HAB) to identify upstream source regions and pathways for the observed accumulation of Alexandrium catenella cysts...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $742,863 to the University of Washington for a collaborative research project titled "Rhythm and Blooms: Deciphering Metabolic, Functional and Taxonomic Interactions over the Life Cycle of a Phytoplankton Bloom." The research aims to explore how environmental factors and interactions between phytoplankton cells and associated bacteria control the timing of phytoplankton bloom...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $2,746,722 Project Grant to Alaska Pacific University (APU) to conduct research on how variation in host susceptibility to pathogens arises and shifts across thermal gradients. The 5-year project from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028 will test mechanistic models using laboratory and field data on Pacific herring, a key marine forage fish, and their cold- and warm-water adapted pathogens. This research aims to increase...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $392,981 Project Grant to the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs for the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IMAGINE: QUANTIFYING DIATOM RESILIENCE IN AN ACIDIFIED OCEAN." The three-year award, issued on June 15, 2021 with a projected completion date of May 31, 2024, will fund research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Biological Sciences program aims...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $695,977 project grant to the University of Washington for research titled "Nearshore Plume Dynamics: Airborne Observations and Modeling of Surf-Shelf Exchange." The three-year award runs from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of Washington will utilize the funding to conduct airborne observations and modeling of the exchange between surf zone and continental shelf waters. This work will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $749,908 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida to study the spatial dynamics of emerging chemical threats in the Tampa Bay, Florida estuarine system. The project integrates social and environmental science approaches to assess human health risks, with a focus on subsistence fishers who may face higher exposure due to consumption patterns. Key activities include: Comprehensive social science...
