The research team at the University of Texas...
- This federal Project Grant award of $879,321 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Texas at Austin. The award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PURSUIT: THE FINAL FRONTIER OF VERTEBRATE TAXONOMY: DOCUMENTING THE DIVERSITY OF CRYPTOBENTHIC CORAL REEF FISHES IN THE INDO-PACIFIC", will fund research to explore and document the diversity of a group of tiny, understudied "cryptobenthic"...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $619,606.00 to Texas State University to characterize how dynamic changes in symbiotic relationships between microbes and the brown anemone (a coral model system) impact the anemone's immunity and susceptibility to pathogens. The 5-year project aims to advance understanding of coral symbioses and resiliency, with the goal of enhancing the survival and recovery of reef-building...
- 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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $138,000 will fund research investigating the energetic tradeoffs of symbiosis and immunity in the coral species Astrangia poculata from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025.
