This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting research to characterize the composition, activity, and symbiotic nature of Rhizosolenia mat ecosystems in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The $257,498 award, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, aims to determine whether these diatom mats obtain nitrogen from diazotroph (nitrogen-fixing) microbes, and to assess the mats' contribution to the regional...
This $344,271 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting research to characterize the composition, activity, and symbiotic nature of Rhizosolenia mat communities in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The investigators are using a combination of microscopy, molecular techniques, and stable isotope analysis to determine whether these diatom mats obtain nitrogen from associated nitrogen-fixing microbes. This project aims to provide...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $456,170 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the ecological and biogeochemical role of Rhizaria in the oligotrophic ocean. The award was made on August 15, 2023 to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, Inc. for work to be completed by July 31, 2026.
Under this award, the awardee will conduct sampling and analysis of Rhizaria populations across depths of 0-1200 meters at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series...
This $387,090 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to enhance understanding of nitrogen cycling in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. The project will employ specialized equipment to conduct nitrogen cycling experiments under high-pressure conditions at seafloor vent habitats, addressing limitations of prior studies conducted at atmospheric pressure. The work will measure rates of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $296,375 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the project "Collaborative Research: The Effects of SUP05 Cells and Virocells on Nitrogen Cycling in Marine Oxygen Minimum Zones." This interdisciplinary study aims to evaluate the role of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) in regulating nitrogen cycling and loss processes...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provided $189,933 to Grand Valley State University from February 2021 through January 2023. The funding supports collaborative research on the biogeochemistry of diurnal vertical migration in microbial mats within Lake Huron's sinkholes. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated...
This $569,967 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on using hydrogen isotope analysis of amino acids as a novel tracer to study microbial processes and the formation and sinking of organic particles in the marine environment. The project will analyze archived marine particle samples, conduct phytoplankton culture experiments, and perform degradation experiments to develop this isotopic approach for...
The University of California Santa Cruz received a three-year, $543,521 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to quantify nitrogen fixation rates of non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs and determine environmental controls on their activity. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $300,785 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to study the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifiers. The researchers aim to characterize the quantity, mechanism, and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter produced by nitrifiers, which may serve as an additional carbon source to the deep ocean. The project will...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $1,053,775 provides funding from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026 to support research examining the cellular metabolism and physiology of diatom-diazotroph associations (DDAs) and evaluate their ecosystem and biogeochemical impacts. The University of Rhode Island will investigate the responses of DDAs to different nitrogen sources and temperatures, compare DDA physiology and metabolism to asymbiotic diatoms, and model ecosystem-level...
