- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $470,000 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to create a 3-year integrated research-education program. The program, titled "BIORETS: Creating Communities of Practice to Translate Microbial Evolution in Action Research to the Classroom," will engage 18 high school and middle school science teachers in authentic microbiology research to understand how bacteria adaptively evolve when...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $549,900 Project Grant to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, MA to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program from 2025-2027. The grant will fund the training of 30 undergraduate students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or underrepresented groups, in a 10-week summer program focused on neurobiological and cellular...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the assembly, diversification, and coevolution of microbiomes associated with marine invertebrates. The $590,677 award to New College of Florida aims to elucidate the rules governing host-microbe relationships across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales. The project is training graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in microbiome analysis,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $996,521 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The goal of the research project is to scale single-cell physiology studies to better understand community stability in the natural gut microbiome. As part of this work, Johns Hopkins University will expand its microbiome curriculum to additional middle schools in Baltimore County...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Nmc, Inc., doing business as New Mexico Consortium, for a 2-day workshop entitled "Microbiome Data Management in Action" to be held in Atlanta, GA on June 12-13, 2024. The proposed workshop will bring together key decision makers in microbiome science to discuss recent progress, challenges, and recommendations for improved environmental microbiome data...
- This $2,999,844 National Science Foundation project grant funds the RAMP: Training Towards an Inclusive and Diverse Workforce in Microbiome Sciences program led by the University of California, Berkeley. The program will train post-baccalaureate students from historically marginalized backgrounds and less traditional educational paths in microbiome sciences through hands-on research experiences across academic and industry laboratories in the San Francisco Bay Area over four years. Trainees will...
- The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) was awarded a $437,022 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on December 1, 2021 to support the development of controlled environment facilities through November 30, 2022. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), MBL will utilize the funding to construct new controlled environment facilities at its Woods Hole, Massachusetts location. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $399,985 Project Grant to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) to fund the Microbial Biodiversity Advanced Research Training Course. This intensive six-week program has trained generations of early-career researchers in advanced microbial sciences for over 50 years. The primary objective is to equip students with modern experimental skills to investigate microbiological questions across various scales, from single cells to ecosystems. The course provides focused training in genome-enabled laboratory isolations, in-situ physiological and imaging approaches, and single-cell/population-based methods to quantify microbial heterogeneity and evolution. Students isolate microbial collections and develop genomic datasets made publicly available for current and future courses to study evolutionary and ecological processes. This training prepares students for research careers in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors. The grant period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
