- This $178,575 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research to investigate the microbiome diversity and potential function of the Antarctic pteropod Limacina rangii. The project, conducted by the University of New England, aims to study how the microbes inhabiting these small, shelled planktonic snails vary across time and space, and how the microbial communities may help the pteropods adapt to changing ocean...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $554,121 to the University of South Florida to study the ecology of an Antarctic sea squirt and its associated microbiome. The key objectives are to: Characterize the microbiome composition, metabolome, and mitochondrial DNA of the Antarctic sea squirt Synoicum adareanum at sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and McMurdo Sound. Use a multi-omics strategy to comprehensively examine the Synoicum...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $411,920 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to investigate the ecology of an Antarctic sea squirt and its associated microbiome that produces the natural product palmerolide A. The research aims to determine the geographical range, chemical and microbiome complexity, and biological effects of palmerolide A within the sea squirt's native...
- This $609,982 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will support research into Antarctic marine nematodes and their host-associated microbiomes. Over a four-year period ending June 2026, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will conduct molecular analyses to better understand the biodiversity, evolution, and ecology of benthic meiofauna in Antarctic ecosystems. Researchers will use modern omics tools and classical taxonomy to determine if molecular...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $539,985 supports research into the stoichiometric trait distribution of the marine microbiome. Funded through the Geosciences program under the Division of Ocean Sciences, the award will quantify the relationship between environmental conditions and the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ratios in marine microbes. Over three years, the researchers from Colorado State University will characterize the biomass elemental composition of 50 marine...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $339,172 will fund research on how the microbiome of the copepod Acartia tonsa, a critical component of marine food webs, responds to thermal stress caused by climate change. The research, conducted by the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, has three main objectives: 1) determine the microbial composition of A. tonsa's southernmost North American population and how it varies under...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) was awarded to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences for $396,577 to conduct research on the evolutionary patterns, systematics, and biogeographic distribution of two abundant but understudied groups of bacteria known as Patescibacteria and Chloroflexota. The research aims to improve fundamental knowledge about these cryptic microbes that play important roles in marine sediment ecosystems and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the assembly, diversification, and coevolution of microbiomes associated with marine invertebrates. The $590,677 award to New College of Florida aims to elucidate the rules governing host-microbe relationships across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales. The project is training graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in microbiome analysis,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
