This $1,153,105 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project to study the impact of virovory (the consumption of viruses by grazers) on the cycling of organic matter and energy transfer in temperate marine ecosystems. The research team from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science will use isotope tracing and microbial food web models to quantify the magnitude of virovory as a sink for...
This $1,122,664 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research to investigate how microbes, such as viruses, can exchange genetic material with the organisms they infect and potentially provide beneficial traits to the host. The research will focus on understanding the process by which virus-derived genetic material can be integrated into insect hosts and utilized for the benefit of the host organism. Key...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $240,000 over 3 years to fund a postdoctoral fellowship focused on understanding how climate change-driven shifts in environmental conditions, such as increasing salinity, affect viral activity and its influence on microbial host genomes and phenotypes. The research aims to explore the large-scale impacts of these changes on microbial evolution and global biogeochemical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $815,899 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) for a project titled "Unraveling the Ecological and Evolutionary Drivers of Marine Giant Virus Community Dynamics". The project aims to elucidate the ecological and evolutionary determinants of marine nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), commonly known as "giant...
This $335,666 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research between Indiana University and other organizations to develop new mathematical and experimental methods for understanding virus spread and extinction. The research team will create a framework integrating experimental and mathematical studies to control the spatial distribution of host cell populations and quantify the effects on viral...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $365,556 supports collaborative research between mathematicians, biologists, and engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop new mathematical tools and biological experiments essential to understanding virus spread and extinction. Funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will establish an integrated experimental-mathematical framework to study how spatial structure affects viral evolution...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $454,006 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Tennessee. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONSTRAINING VIRUS LOSS AND CARBON AND NITROGEN FLOW THROUGH VIROVORY IN TEMPERATE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS WITH ISOTOPE TRACING AND MICROBIAL FOOD WEB MODELS," aims to investigate how virus grazing (virovory) impacts the cycling of organic matter and the transfer of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Elucidating the Diversity, Prevalence, and Stability of Deep-Sea RNA Viruses" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. This funding was provided through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems....
This $987,566 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research on virus self-assembly, from test tube to cell cytoplasm. The research aims to elucidate the fundamental differences between in vitro and in cellulo viral processes by progressively adding molecules that play key roles in the viral life cycle. This will be accomplished through a collaborative project between US and French research groups, who will...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop new theory and predictive models for understanding how environmental pressures shape the evolution of virulence in opportunistic bacterial pathogens. The project aims to: (I) Develop and test predictive models of strain-specific virulence, transmission, and environmental origins for the model pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and (II)...
