This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine the impacts of diatom-derived polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) on the embryonic and larval development of ecologically and economically important forage fish species in the North Pacific ecosystem. The $638,888 award to Western Washington University will fund field surveys to quantify the prevalence of PUA-producing diatoms in the Salish Sea, as well as laboratory...
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 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 (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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $453,825 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Connecticut from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to investigate the unusual high sensitivity of sand lance fish embryos to ocean acidification and warming, which are direct consequences of climate change. Key objectives include: 1) testing the CO2 and temperature sensitivity of sand lance larvae, 2) using transcriptomic tools to elucidate...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $378,315 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year award, beginning February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024, will support research to detect signatures of multigenerational plasticity in a marine forage fish. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded on June 1, 2025, provides $738,152 to the University of Massachusetts to integrate thermal physiology and species interactions to forecast the community response to environmental change. The key objectives are to: 1) use physiological assays to compare the thermal performance of native and invasive predatory marine invertebrates and their prey, 2) measure temperature-dependent predation, intraguild...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) in the amount of $196,218 for the period of October 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. This grant supports a collaborative research project examining the effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport, and recruitment in sea urchin metapopulations. The research team will develop oceanographic models to predict...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
