This $1,153,105 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to study the impacts of virovory (virus consumption) on the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and organic matter in marine ecosystems. The project will use isotope tracing and microbial food web models to quantify how virovory influences the sequestration of carbon and the transfer of nutrients and energy to higher trophic levels across different marine...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $400,000 to the University of Miami to model the dynamics of viruses and bacteria in chemocline lakes, which serve as analogs for ancient oceans. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating viral and microbial omics data with an innovative transient dynamics method to model the impact of keystone lytic and lysogenic viruses on microbial...
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 Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $1,176,227 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to support research titled "Giant Viruses in the Open Ocean: Is Large Size Adaptive Where Cells are Scarce?" from January 15, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant funds basic research within the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean science studies. Specifically,...
This $408,738 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the effects of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) on nitrogen cycling in marine oxygen minimum zones. The project is led by the University of Washington, and aims to detail the combined impact of SUP05 cells and their associated phages on nitrogen transformation and loss processes in these ocean regions. Through a...
