- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $899,999 Project Grant through its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) on May 1, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research to characterize a novel blue copper ferritin protein in marine phytoplankton and explore how this protein may provide an ecological advantage in iron-limited ocean environments. The research aims to advance the understanding of how iron limitation impacts marine ecosystems and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $342,692 will support an academic-industry collaborative research project to develop new methods for exploring and discovering copper-nickel-sulfide mineral deposits in the United States. The project team from the University of Michigan and Juniata College, in partnership with mining industry professionals, will test the hypothesis that the ratio of copper isotopes in ground and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $444,296 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct collaborative research on improving the understanding of how two types of copper ore deposits form and developing methods to find undiscovered deposits. The grant, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a graduate student and several undergraduates in mapping, logging, sampling, and...
- The University of Southern California will receive $451,571 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for a two-year Project Grant award ending July 31, 2024. The grant funds research to map global distributions of B-vitamins in surface ocean waters and analyze their effects on phytoplankton species biogeography and ecosystem functioning. Researchers will establish the first global map of B-vitamin distributions...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $374,800 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate iron cycling and transport in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific (ETSP) region. The 3-year project, starting March 1, 2024, aims to: Understand the formation, maintenance, and transport of the iron plume in the ETSP anoxic waters, and Assess the impact of this anoxic iron cycling on the biogeochemistry of the...
- The University of South Carolina (USC) has been awarded a $422,847 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the influence of natural and human-induced activities on atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and oxidation chemistry. The project aims to (1) quantify the interplay of volcanic eruptions with NOx oxidation chemistry and emissions, (2) assess the influence of natural climate change, specifically the Little...
- This $480,149 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between the University of South Florida and the University of Hawaii. The research aims to measure iron isotopes in seawater samples from three GEOTRACES expeditions in the Pacific Ocean, producing an unprecedented data set. By combining these data with ocean biogeochemical modeling, the project will address important questions about the sources of...
- The University of Southern California was awarded a $306,214 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research into "Photocatalysis Without Metals: Design Rules for Organic Photoredox Chemistry" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The project aims to advance understanding of major problems in chemistry by promoting progress in the mathematical and physical...
The University of Southern California (USC) received a $550,260 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program to study the distribution and properties of inert copper in seawater. The 3-year project aims to: 1) Determine the rates of exchange between inert and labile forms of copper, 2) Characterize the stable isotope composition of copper, and 3) Understand the relationship between inert copper and dissolved organic matter. The work will build upon the principal investigator's prior research and challenge the current understanding of copper speciation and cycling in ocean ecosystems. The project will provide research opportunities for high school and undergraduate students, and the results are expected to improve models of copper biogeochemistry. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
