- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $358,830 to the University of Chicago to investigate the evolution and mechanisms of thermotolerance in cyanobacteria, a type of phytoplankton. The research aims to elucidate how cyanobacteria adapt to survive extreme heat, with a focus on analyzing their genetic features and responses to temperature changes over both short and long-term timescales. The findings will help...
- The University of Florida received a three-year, $330,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to research the atmospheric processes of microcystins in airborne cyanobacterial aerosols. Funded through NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 examining the transport and breakdown of toxins produced by cyanobacteria in atmospheric conditions. As the place of performance, the University will leverage its...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the eco-evolutionary impacts of cyanobacterial diets on host-parasite interactions. The research aims to uncover the molecular basis for parasite susceptibility in the Daphnia-Metschnikowia host-parasite system and determine if susceptibility is...
- This $325,937 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Michigan State University (MSU) to interrogate the interconnection of structural and metabolic dynamics of evolutionarily distinct bacterial microcompartments. The project aims to study the impact of geometry and permeability of microcompartments in two distantly related bacteria under varying realistic environments, with the goal of gaining...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $642,399 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Trustees of Boston University. The grant supports research to understand the process of cell death in the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus, a globally abundant microbe critical to ocean biogeochemistry. The project aims to examine the interplay between cellular metabolism and cell death, as well as the fate of cellular biomass after death and how interactions with...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $153,529, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Miami University. The award seeks to understand the impacts of increases in dissolved organic matter, known as "lake browning", and the resulting loss of dissolved oxygen ("deoxygenation") on the trophic status and overall ecosystem dynamics of oligotrophic lakes. The project will leverage a sophisticated suite of sensors,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $134,761 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "Quantifying the Genetic Basis of the Cyanobacterial Environmental Niche to Improve Bloom Forecasting". The project aims to transform the ability to forecast harmful algal blooms by advancing the...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $300,000 project grant to the University of Toledo for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The grant, titled "C2H2 EAGER: REDOX-DRIVEN MOBILIZATION AND AEROSOLIZATION OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM TOXINS IN LAKE ERIE STRESSED SOILS," will investigate the hypothesis that wind-blown dust from coastal soils near Lake Erie can contain high concentrations of algal bloom-generated neurotoxins. This research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for $111,215 will support research by the Regents of the University of Michigan to study cyanobacteria, nitrogen cycling, and export production in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the relative contributions of cyanobacteria versus eukaryotic algae to primary production, 2) evaluate export production of cyanobacterial productivity, and 3) constrain historical...
