This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $364,663 to the Milwaukee Public Museum to conduct collaborative research on the survival and extinction of mollusk species (clams and snails) along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. The research will analyze the characteristics of modern and fossil mollusks, along with experiments, to identify key physiological and functional traits that influence species survival as...
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...
Oregon State University was awarded a $680,529 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to study the environmental consequences of expanded recruitment of an ecosystem engineer on a hypoxia-influenced continental shelf.

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $536,343 to Rollins College will investigate the effects of rising sea surface temperatures on the distribution, reproductive dynamics, and hybridization of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis species complex) in Hokkaido, Japan. The project aims to (1) re-examine species distributions after 17 years, (2) evaluate changes in reproductive stages, and (3) investigate genetic structures of hybrid populations....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral fellowship focused on examining the role of the bivalve gut microbiome in facilitating xenobiotic (e.g. pharmaceutical) tolerance. The research aims to investigate how the blue mussel Mytilus edulis and its gut microbiome interact to break down the toxic pharmaceutical pollutant...
Oregon State University was awarded a $1,223,276 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on October 1, 2021 to complete the project by September 30, 2024. The award is being used to support collaborative research on plankton size spectra and trophic links in a dynamic ocean environment under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and...
