Project Grant 2518717
- This federal Project Grant award of $199,992.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The project, titled "HYDROGEOLOGIC CONTROLS ON THE ACCUMULATION, TRANSPORT, AND DISCHARGE OF FECAL INDICATOR BACTERIA IN COASTAL BEACHES", will investigate how coastal hydrologic forces influence the movement and discharge of fecal indicator bacteria in beach aquifers. The research team will conduct...
- This two-year, $237,651 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program will support research at the University of Hawaii aimed at understanding microbial interactions under changing environments and broadening scientific training opportunities. The grant recipient, University of Hawaii, will partner with the University of California, San Diego to leverage locally important fermented foods like taro to determine how abiotic and biotic factors influence the...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will use a $2.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation to understand how microbes govern food web architecture and efficiency in a model watershed. The grant was awarded on January 15, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will support research through December 31, 2026. As part of its basic research mission, the Biological Sciences program aims to increase scientific knowledge of major problems confronting the...
- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $502,819.00 was made by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Hawai'i Pacific University on August 15, 2025. The goal of this two-year project is to conduct an ecosystem-scale experiment to investigate how saltwater intrusion influences water chemistry, microbial communities, and methane dynamics in coastal wetlands in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the mechanisms behind how...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will receive $748,827 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to illuminate the physiology, cellular characteristics, and ecogenomics of the first cultivated strain of the SAR86 lineage. This research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined under the NSF program. The University of Hawaii...
- This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
- This $350,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EPIIC: PARTNERING TO ADVANCE AND DRIVE INNOVATION ON SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT (PARADISE)" project. The award aims to strengthen the research and collaborative capacity of geographically isolated institutions, specifically Hawai'i Pacific University, Paul Smith's College, and the University...
- This Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research effort led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The goal is to develop a novel, low-cost system for localized data acquisition to enable communities in Hawaii and similar remote, rural, and austere regions to actively participate in monitoring their local environments. The project will integrate three core innovations: a 3D-printed, open-source...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $892,290 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research characterizing mesophoric seaweeds in Hawaii from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. Key products and services include collecting, identifying, and describing previously unknown mesophoric seaweed species from Hawaii to add to biodiversity data and herbarium...
This $499,938 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will support research and development focused on reviving and enhancing traditional Hawaiian fishponds to improve local food production and environmental resilience. The project aims to integrate microbial ecology and community-based knowledge to restore ecosystem function, support regional food security, and develop scalable solutions for climate adaptation. Key activities include field-based environmental sampling, genomic sequencing, and mesocosm experiments to analyze microbial dynamics and their impact on aquaculture productivity. The research will generate actionable data linking microbial composition to ecosystem health, and co-develop monitoring tools and restoration strategies with local communities. The award was made to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a leading federal research partner, and runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
