- This Project Grant award of $343,716 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral research project at Trustees of Boston University to investigate sex-specific physiological differences in coral responses to climate change. The project aims to assess shifts in sex distributions and physiological trade-offs across marginal and non-marginal coral habitats by integrating field and mesocosm experiments with genomic tools. It will examine...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $783,165 research project titled "The Role of Diel Thermal Variability on Coral Performance" at Boston University. The project aims to understand how differences in diel thermal variability (DTV) influence the plasticity of coral thermal physiology and molecular function, focusing on the coral species Siderastrea siderea across sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The key...
- This $331,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences' project to assess the potential of artificial upwelling to mitigate coral bleaching during heat waves. The project will substantially improve understanding of how artificial upwelling could be used to mitigate coral bleaching during periods of thermal stress by investigating the effects of different upwelling scenarios (varying depths and pulse...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $393,101 to the University of Delaware (UDE) to conduct research investigating phenotypic plasticity and acclimation mechanisms within coral reef ecosystems. The project, titled "POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP: OCE-PRF: PLASTIC PARTNERSHIPS: INVESTIGATING LIFE HISTORY STRATEGIES CONSTRAINING PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY ACROSS CORAL HOLOBIONT PARTNERS," will integrate physiological,...
- This $899,997 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project at the University of Hawaii at Manoa titled "CAREER: An Integrative Framework for Modeling Coral Adaptive Potential." The project aims to develop predictive tools for understanding and forecasting coral reef adaptation to climate change, while also engaging students and the community through educational initiatives at the Hawaii Institute of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Northwestern University in the amount of $299,986 will fund a project focused on developing biophotonic technologies to increase the resilience of coral reefs to the impacts of climate change-induced ocean warming. The project aims to use optical imaging techniques to understand the role of gene expression and chromatin remodeling in coral thermal stress tolerance, with the goal of identifying strategies to...
- 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 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems. The $1,309,859 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution aims to advance the understanding of contact-free, chemically-based interactions between benthic organisms on...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) will fund a $370,635 study to characterize the effects of heat, low oxygen, and their combination on a reef-building coral across life history stages. The lead researcher at Trustees of Boston University will conduct experiments in Bermuda to investigate how these dual anthropogenic stressors impact corals as adults and early in their life cycle. This research aims to expand scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system and improve understanding of how the ocean is impacted by humans, in line with the NSF's mission. The project will also involve students to integrate youth into coral reef research and conservation efforts while strengthening public understanding of the importance of coral reefs. The award duration is from December 1, 2025 to November 30, 2027.
