- This $226,024 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the role of mucus in the success and range expansion of Cassiopea jellyfish and related species. Over three years, the University of Arizona will investigate the physical properties of Cassiopea mucus and its effects on plankton mobility. Researchers will characterize venom and mucus proteins to understand how they aid jellyfish and change with temperature fluctuations....
- This $241,274 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to develop biohybrid jellyfish instrumented with sensors for low-cost, energy-efficient oceanographic measurement. The University of South Florida is leading this multidisciplinary effort, which focuses on four distinct jellyfish species to investigate microelectronic control, locomotion efficiency, and environmental monitoring capabilities of these...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $450,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a collaborative research project on developing biohybrid jellyfish as a novel, low-cost platform for oceanographic measurement. The project aims to leverage the natural propulsion and pressure tolerance of four jellyfish species to enable low-energy, scalable ocean monitoring in vast midwater regions away from the surface and...
- This $125,954 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research examining the role of mucus in the success and range expansion of Cassiopea jellyfish and related species. Over the two-year award period ending December 2025, the research team will characterize the physical properties of Cassiopea mucus and the motility of plankton and stinging cells within it using mathematical and engineering tools. They will also...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $1,013,589 to the University of Florida to study the environmental induction of a novel cell type, the amoebocyte, in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana and to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the establishment of stable photosymbiosis between the host and photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae. The research aims to gain insights into how novel cell...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $732,650.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oregon. The funding will support research to investigate the feeding behaviors and trophic effects of gelatinous marine predators, such as jellyfish and other "tentaculate ambush predators" (TAPS), and their impacts on marine food webs. The project will utilize cutting-edge techniques like underwater cameras, microscopy, laser...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $212,587 to Roger Williams University to conduct a collaborative research project on the development of biohybrid jellyfish instrumented with sensors for ocean measurement. The key objectives of this three-year project, with an end date of September 30, 2028, are to: 1) investigate the neurophysiology and microelectronic control of jellyfish movement, 2) measure the energy...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program is supporting research to investigate the origin and development of novel traits, specifically focused on the stinging apparatus of cnidarians (e.g., corals, jellyfish). The $230,000.00 award to Cornell University, which began on Mar 15, 2025 and is set to conclude by Feb 28, 2030, aims to characterize the protein-protein interactions necessary for the construction of the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $500,000.00 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The award will support a systematic study of the neural control of larval settlement in the genetically tractable jellyfish species Clytia. This research aims to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying neural mechanisms that govern the free-swimming...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $463,845 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) for the collaborative research project "RUI: Beyond Colloblasts: Fast-Acting Predation for Trophic Success in Ctenophores". This 3-year research project, running from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will investigate the role of neurotoxic chemicals used by ctenophores (commonly called comb jellies) to anesthetize...
