The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This $299,920 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund a research fellowship at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) to develop a state-of-the-art modeling framework for understanding and predicting saltwater intrusion in Hawaii's coastal aquifers. The project will engage an assistant professor and a graduate student in collaboration with researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The goal is...
- This $499,938 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will support research and development focused on reviving and enhancing traditional Hawaiian fishponds to improve local food production and environmental resilience. The project aims to integrate microbial ecology and community-based knowledge to restore ecosystem function, support regional food security, and develop scalable solutions for...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,518 three-year Project Grant to The University of Puget Sound under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on aerobic methane production in ocean environments. The university will collaborate with scientists in the U.S. and Israel to study the microbial processes that produce methane through the degradation of organic compounds in the surface waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Researchers will measure methane...
- This federal Project Grant award of $199,992.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The project, titled "HYDROGEOLOGIC CONTROLS ON THE ACCUMULATION, TRANSPORT, AND DISCHARGE OF FECAL INDICATOR BACTERIA IN COASTAL BEACHES", will investigate how coastal hydrologic forces influence the movement and discharge of fecal indicator bacteria in beach aquifers. The research team will conduct...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $892,290 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research characterizing mesophoric seaweeds in Hawaii from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. Key products and services include collecting, identifying, and describing previously unknown mesophoric seaweed species from Hawaii to add to biodiversity data and herbarium...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will receive $748,827 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to illuminate the physiology, cellular characteristics, and ecogenomics of the first cultivated strain of the SAR86 lineage. This research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined under the NSF program. The University of Hawaii...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $462,900 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Hilo to support the "REU HIIAKA: Regeneration and Resilience of Socioecological Island Ecosystems" program. This 3-year award, running from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028, will provide research experiences for 10 undergraduate students per summer, totaling 30 students over the award period. The program aims to prepare the next generation of...
- This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $502,819.00 was made by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Hawai'i Pacific University on August 15, 2025. The goal of this two-year project is to conduct an ecosystem-scale experiment to investigate how saltwater intrusion influences water chemistry, microbial communities, and methane dynamics in coastal wetlands in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the mechanisms behind how increasing salinity may impact methane emissions from these ecosystems, which contribute a significant portion of natural methane to the atmosphere. The project will actively involve undergraduate classes at Hawai'i Pacific University and support independent research projects for at least three undergraduate and two master's students, providing them with hands-on experience in field work, laboratory techniques, data analysis, and technical writing related to natural resource management. This research seeks to generate insights that can inform coastal wetland conservation and management strategies.
