This 6-year project, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2031, will continue long-term studies and experiments to understand how changes in freshwater supply, sea level rise, and disturbances like tropical storms interact to influence...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $1,481,468 Project Grant to Arizona State University (ASU) to expand the university's Ridge to Reef Restoration Center in Hawaii. The funding will establish ASU's facility as a global hub for coral reef research, enabling large-scale, interdisciplinary studies on coral resilience to climate stressors and ecosystem-scale restoration. Key infrastructure improvements include...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
- This $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities supports the development of nationwide smart precision aquaculture networks for sustainable shellfish farming under the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). Awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park on October 1, 2021 for a one-year period, the grant funding will enable the convergence of technologies towards building capacity for precision aquaculture. Subawards of...
- This Federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $340,796 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Inc. to conduct collaborative research on engineering gut-associated microbial consortia. The goal is to develop new technologies that can increase the efficiency of animal farming and reduce the detrimental impact of pathogens, with a specific focus on improving feed efficiency and preventing bacterial infections in brine...
- This $187,290 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant awarded to Florida International University (FIU) on December 1, 2023 aims to assess the impacts of the unprecedented 2023 marine heatwave on sponge communities in the Florida Keys coral reef ecosystem. The project has three key components: (A) field surveys to evaluate changes in sponge community structure, (B) mesocosm experiments examining the effects of elevated seawater temperatures and low...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded the University of Florida $774,759.00 on September 1, 2025 to support the construction of a state-of-the-art recirculating seawater system (RAS) at the university's Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience. This infrastructure improvement will allow for precise control of environmental conditions such as temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels, significantly expanding the lab's capacity to study and optimize the reproduction, development, and behavior of local marine species, including commercially important finfish and shellfish. The new facility will also support educational and outreach programs, contributing to building a contemporary scientific workforce, enhancing aquaculture practices, rehabilitating endangered marine wildlife, and increasing public understanding of ocean science and conservation efforts that support sustainable food systems and coastal ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. The project aims to transform the scope and precision of marine biological research in a natural coastal setting, enabling cutting-edge investigations into animal behavior, developmental physiology, and the effects of environmental stressors and pollutants.
