- 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 (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will provide $495,000 to American University to conduct research on the microbiome of the coral endosymbiont (Symbiodiniaceae). The project aims to characterize the taxonomic and functional diversity of the bacterial communities associated with Symbiodiniaceae, which are photosynthetic microalgae that form a symbiotic relationship with coral. The research will investigate how these...
- This three-year, $586,609 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, to apply novel methods for understanding microbial growth efficiency, function, and energy transfer in the ocean. The research aims to identify ecological conditions and microbial taxa accounting for variance in microbial growth efficiency along light and nutrient gradients. It uses data...
- 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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $597,248 supports research into applying novel approaches to link microbial growth efficiency, function, and energy transfer in the ocean. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will further understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences.
