This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund a research and training plan to study how climate change-driven increases in temperature affect the bioturbation activities of chironomid larvae and the resulting impacts on nutrient cycling and bacterial activity in freshwater ecosystems, particularly in urban streams in Puerto Rico....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research investigating the interactions between seagrasses, environmental conditions, and microbes from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellow will conduct three studies to better understand how the presence of the sulfide-oxidizing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
This two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the role of subsurface microbial communities in biogeochemical cycling and carbon storage across spatial and temporal scales in the United States and Puerto Rico. Dr. Dawson Fairbanks of the University of California-Riverside will explore how soil microbial diversity and functionality respond to changing environmental conditions from the micro to continental...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
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 awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral fellowship research titled "Effects of Community Interactions in Scaling of Microbial Processes" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic biological research and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellowship will fund research at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana to advance...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the biogeography and community assembly of North American Carboniferous ecosystems. Specifically, the fellow will analyze the fossil record using approaches including anatomy, geology, and ecology to determine how ancient land ecosystems responded to environmental and...
This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship beginning in July 2025. The research will investigate the microbial ecology and environmental adaptations of a recently discovered multicellular choanoflagellate species, Barroeca monosierra, isolated from Mono Lake, California. The project aims to provide insights into how environmental forces may have shaped the early...
