The National Science Foundation awarded the University of California, Davis a $981,302 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on May 15, 2022 to complete the project by April 30, 2026. The grant will support research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. Specifically, the university researchers will investigate the roles of candidate proteins...
This $917,593 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program supports research at the University of Chicago exploring the role of microbes in driving productivity and carbon fixation in seaweeds, with a focus on the bull kelp species Nereocystis luetkeana. The project will use experimental manipulations, stable isotope tracing, and multi-omics analyses to investigate host-microbe interactions and how environmental stressors like ocean warming may...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the genetic basis of heat tolerance in the ecologically important giant kelp species (Macrocystis pyrifera). The 3-year project aims to: (1) determine if warming events are associated with genetic signatures of population decline in giant kelp, (2) identify adaptive genetic variants that contribute...
This $1,275,001 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research and educational initiatives focused on understanding the environmental drivers and ecological consequences of kelp forest dynamics in a changing climate. The research, led by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), aims to advance predictive understanding of how natural disturbance, climate variation, and human actions alter the ecological...
This $493,073 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on the evolutionary processes that enable a genus of ciliates known as Mesodinium to acquire and maintain phototrophy through organelle sequestration. The 3-year project will use comparative cellular, metabolic, and genetic analyses to understand the adaptations that allow some Mesodinium species to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
This $999,996 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports fundamental research aimed at generating "designer mitochondria" for biotechnology, healthcare, and basic research applications. The key objectives are to identify the factors required for human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and characterize the mechanisms underlying the species-specificity of this process. This work represents a critical step...
This $1,100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to study the genetics and chemistry of specialized plant metabolites called glucosinolates. The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) will lead this 5-year research project to investigate how biosynthetic genes and chemical modifications create diversity in glucosinolate compounds across the Brassicales plant family. The research aims to develop...
The University of California San Diego received a $246,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences on August 1, 2021 to complete work by July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Bromoform Production and ROS Response to Stress in Seaweeds" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA #47.074). The Biological Sciences program aims to advance biological knowledge and enhance understanding of major...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) a $652,262 Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on how microbial symbionts protect eelgrass from the impacts of thermal stress associated with global climate change. The research aims to: (1) assess the assembly and function of the eelgrass microbiome under ambient and elevated temperature conditions, (2) determine how...
