- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
- This $218,479 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research on the adaptability of photosynthetic marine microorganisms' carbon dioxide concentrating mechanisms to changing climatic conditions. Specifically, the University of Colorado Boulder will experimentally evolve five phytoplankton groups with distinct CO2-concentrating mechanisms to quantify their plastic and adaptive...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
- This $713,951 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into the adaptability of phytoplankton carbon dioxide concentrating mechanisms to changing climatic conditions. The grant to Columbia University will fund experiments to quantify the plastic and adaptive responses of carbon fixation in five key phytoplankton groups - diatoms, dinoflagellates, green algae, coccolithophores, and cyanobacteria - under climate change...
- This $795,135 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Illinois on protein dynamics under extreme environmental conditions. The four-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will fund three related subprojects investigating how proteins adapt to enable organism survival in stressful environments like heat, pressure and dehydration. The research will study intrinsically disordered protein structure and...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $508,597.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The grant supports a multidisciplinary research program to quantify the mechanistic role of oxidative stress responses in the model cyanobacterium Microcystis. The goal is to demonstrate how more biologically expensive but longer-term coping mechanisms (microcystin production) versus short-term and cheaper...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the genetic basis of heat tolerance in the ecologically important giant kelp species (Macrocystis pyrifera). The 3-year project aims to: (1) determine if warming events are associated with genetic signatures of population decline in giant kelp, (2) identify adaptive genetic variants that contribute...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) was awarded to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences for $396,577 to conduct research on the evolutionary patterns, systematics, and biogeographic distribution of two abundant but understudied groups of bacteria known as Patescibacteria and Chloroflexota. The research aims to improve fundamental knowledge about these cryptic microbes that play important roles in marine sediment ecosystems and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences project grant, awarded under CFDA 47.074, provides $242,000 to the University of Houston System to study the phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution of a freshwater microbial eukaryote in response to environmental changes caused by road salts and nanoparticle biocides. The 3-year project will measure organismal and gene expression traits before and after experimental evolution in contaminated environments to understand how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $644,646 to Northern Arizona University to analyze how microbial organisms in four grassland ecosystems have adapted to 23 years of temperature increase. The researchers will study changes in gene expression, genetic, and genomic traits of individual microbial species in response to the elevated temperatures. This project aims to improve understanding of microbial adaptation...
