- 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 $150,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of flexible and scalable cluster analysis methods to identify functional groups of microbes from longitudinal microbiome data. The project aims to expand traditional functional cluster analysis techniques by incorporating novel similarity measures, external factors, and a...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $238,628 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The project explores new connections between algebra and geometry, leveraging emerging links between algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry to develop novel mathematical tools and techniques. Key objectives include advancing the understanding of multigraded commutative algebra, toric geometry, and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $299,758 to the University of Washington to develop a novel method for estimating bacterial evolutionary histories. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Implementing and benchmarking a new mathematical approach for averaging gene-level phylogenies to obtain overall phylogenies for bacteria and archaea, even when not all genes are...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $597,248 supports research into applying novel approaches to link microbial growth efficiency, function, and energy transfer in the ocean. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will further understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will conduct research from September 2023 to August 2026 to...
This Project Grant award from the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $409,940 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to develop new algebraic approaches for analyzing microbial community data. The key products and services to be delivered include: These new analytical techniques will be applied to a large microbiome dataset collected from stream, land, and sea environments to detect keystone species and investigate their ecological roles through laboratory experiments. The project aims to enhance interdisciplinary education, student research, and workforce preparation in mathematical biology.
