- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) a $1,867,914 Project Grant to reconstruct the environmental and ecological history of coral reefs in the Caribbean and Great Barrier Reef. This 3-year research project, awarded on December 15, 2025 and scheduled for completion by November 30, 2028, aims to analyze the chemistry and DNA preserved in coral skeletons to understand how corals and...
- This two-year, $299,082 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant will support research into using ancient DNA to illuminate the fate of Caribbean coral reefs. The principal investigator at the University of Texas at Austin will expand on prior work demonstrating the ability to sequence ancient DNA from coral fragments up to 6,000 years old. The project will compare corals and their microbes from Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands over the past few thousand years,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $442,152 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Arizona State University to integrate nanobiotechnology approaches to understand the role of nitro-oxidative stress in the coral-dinoflagellate symbiotic relationship. The 3-year research project aims to create a 3D bioengineered coral model to study the cellular responses of both coral cells and dinoflagellate algae under stress conditions that can lead to coral...
- This Project Grant award of $495,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports research into the microbiome of the coral endosymbiont Symbiodiniaceae, which is critical for understanding and preserving coral reef ecosystems. The project will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the taxonomic and functional diversity of the microbiomes associated with five coral species from Florida's coral reef, using a combination of amplicon...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the ecological genomics of the Great Star Coral cryptic species complex in Florida. The $426,296 grant, awarded on December 15, 2024, will fund a project to investigate the resilience and ecological differentiation of the six genetically distinct lineages (cryptic species) within the Montastrea cavernosa coral species. The research team at the University of Texas...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $384,490 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports a collaborative research project focused on "Integrating Nanobiotechnologies to Understand the Role of Nitro-Oxidative Stress in the Coral-Dinoflagellate Mutualistic Symbiosis Dynamics." The project aims to investigate the mechanisms behind coral bleaching events,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral fellowship research titled "Tracing Coral Reef Energy Fluxes from Genes to Ecosystems in a Changing Climate." The two-year award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund fellowships for research examining how coral reef ecosystems respond to climate change impacts at multiple levels of biological organization, from genes to whole reef systems. The fellowships will be...
- This $127,149 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund facility improvements and research at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, Inc. (CCMI) in the Cayman Islands. The award will leverage CCMI's 22-year record of coral reef research by establishing infrastructure for experiments on the physiological and molecular mechanisms driving coral reef resilience. Specifically, the funding will develop an outdoor mesocosm facility to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $551,633 is funding research to elucidate the mechanisms that enable symbiotic dinoflagellates to proliferate within cnidarian hosts, such as coral, after thermal stress disrupts the symbiosis. The project, awarded to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will leverage a symbiodiniaceae pigment mutant and the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana model system to employ...
- This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $370,635. The award will fund research to characterize the effects of heat, low oxygen, and their combination on a reef-building coral across different life history stages, from larvae to adult. The research will be conducted at a coral reef site in Bermuda, with the goal of improving understanding of how corals respond to environmental stressors and informing...
