This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $3,948,921 to the University of Guam to build networks and strengthen the research ecosystem in Guam. The project, titled "E-CORE RII: Optimizing Research Infrastructure in Guam," aims to promote the development of competitive scientific research, manage and coordinate research growth, and provide STEM research experiences for college students in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The funding will support collaborative research to empower artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal phytoplankton community dynamics in coastal oceans. The project aims to address the scarcity of in-situ data for estuarine-coastal phytoplankton by constructing a large-scale database of phytoplankton observations, enabling global data sharing. It will...
This federal Project Grant award under the Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs' "Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories" program (CFDA 15.875) provides $100,000.00 to the Government of Guam's Department of Administration, Bureau of Statistics and Plans Division. The award will fund existing staff at the Guam Department of Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources to assist the Marine Biosecurity Coordinator in conducting...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
This $213,969 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the "Grenada SURF-TURF: Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows - Teaming Up on Reefs and in Forests" collaborative research program. The program provides international research experiences to 18 U.S. undergraduate students, focusing on integrated assessments of coral reef and rainforest ecosystems in Grenada. The key objectives are to: (1)...
This $548,713 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species impact ecosystem functioning in rocky intertidal communities. The project integrates controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to characterize community thermal performance and drivers of ecosystem metabolism under varying pH and disturbance regimes. The award...
This $599,986 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine how coral reef-associated microbes influence ecological processes on coral reefs. The project aims to understand how organic matter released by benthic primary producers on coral reefs selects for specific microbial taxa, and how the metabolism of these core reef microbes facilitates nutrient cycling, calcification, and biodiversity. The research combines...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The grant will fund a collaborative planning workshop that convenes UVI and partner institutions, including the University of Hawai'i-Hilo, University of Alaska-Fairbanks, University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, and University of Guam, to explore research enterprise solutions for academic institutions in insular or remote...
The University of Guam has been awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.308: Resident Instruction, Agriculture, and Food Science Facilities and Equipment Grants) to strengthen its capabilities in high-resolution micro-imagery and next-generation DNA sequencing. The primary objectives are to broaden research and experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students by acquiring new,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
