- This $549,245 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve understanding of the impact of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) on the atmosphere. Through a series of laboratory experiments and field measurements, the project will investigate the production of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from CHABs and the potential for these BVOCs to contribute to the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $237,116 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct collaborative research on quantifying the genetic basis of the cyanobacterial environmental niche to improve harmful algal bloom (HAB) forecasting. The 3-year project, running from September 2025 to August 2028, aims to transform HAB forecasting by understanding the biology of cyanobacteria, a major microorganism that causes HABs....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to advance understanding of the genetic basis for cyanobacterial environmental adaptation to improve forecasting of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The $229,165 award to Michigan State University will: (i) map the ecological niches of key bloom-forming cyanobacteria under different environmental conditions; (ii) identify the genetic drivers of environmental fitness in a model...
- The University of Florida received a three-year, $330,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to research the atmospheric processes of microcystins in airborne cyanobacterial aerosols. Funded through NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 examining the transport and breakdown of toxins produced by cyanobacteria in atmospheric conditions. As the place of performance, the University will leverage its...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $300,000 project grant to the University of Toledo for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The grant, titled "C2H2 EAGER: REDOX-DRIVEN MOBILIZATION AND AEROSOLIZATION OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM TOXINS IN LAKE ERIE STRESSED SOILS," will investigate the hypothesis that wind-blown dust from coastal soils near Lake Erie can contain high concentrations of algal bloom-generated neurotoxins. This research...
- This $299,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports exploratory research to investigate the impacts of harmful algal blooms on Arctic populations and marine ecosystems in Greenland's Ilulissat/Disko Bay region. The research team, composed of experts in Arctic environmental science, social science, and medical professionals, will conduct interdisciplinary studies to expand knowledge on how these toxic algal blooms, driven by...
- This $272,363 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort at Aerodyne Research Inc. to better understand the formation and yields of key secondary atmospheric species, such as ozone, formaldehyde, and secondary organic aerosol, resulting from the oxidation of non-methane volatile organic compounds. The research will involve model-informed chamber studies to carefully control and monitor the reactivity of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $134,761 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science.

The project aims to transform the ability to forecast harmful algal blooms by advancing the...
- This $1,882,550 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the evolution of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation processes in urban atmospheres. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the three-year award to the University of Colorado will investigate the key gas-phase precursors and sources contributing to SOA, and evolution of associated chemistry over the past decade. A six-week field campaign in the Los Angeles area in summer 2022 aims to compare...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for $111,215 will support research by the Regents of the University of Michigan to study cyanobacteria, nitrogen cycling, and export production in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the relative contributions of cyanobacteria versus eukaryotic algae to primary production, 2) evaluate export production of cyanobacterial productivity, and 3) constrain historical...
