- This $300,072 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the environmental drivers and impacts of Diadematidae scuticociliatosis, a disease affecting the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the Caribbean. The research, led by the University of the Virgin Islands, combines field monitoring, laboratory experiments, and molecular analysis to understand how the pathogenic ciliate,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $278,494 to Northern Illinois University to conduct collaborative research on the drivers of Diadematidae scuticociliatosis, a disease affecting long-spined sea urchins and impacting Caribbean coral reef ecosystems. The research aims to identify environmental reservoirs of the pathogenic ciliate responsible for this disease, and explore how environmental factors, host microbiomes, and the...
- This $199,919 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research by Sociedad Ambiente Marino Inc. on the causes and impacts of a resurgent die-off of the long-spined black sea urchin (Diadema antillarum) in the Caribbean. Using multidisciplinary approaches including metagenomics, metabolomics, and demographic analyses at four sites in Puerto Rico, the grantee will investigate the microbial profiles and...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $380,162.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Unraveling Parasite, Host, and Environmental Drivers of Diadematidae Scuticociliatosis, a Globally Significant Marine Disease," aims to investigate the environmental factors and microbiome interactions that influence the emergence and spread of a pathogenic ciliate...
- This $199,676 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the impact of the loss of the keystone sea urchin species Diadema antillarum on Caribbean coral reef community structure and function. The award period is from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The grantee, Florida International University, will utilize innovative imaging tools and spatially explicit analyses to quantify fine-scale temporal changes in the community composition, size distributions, and spatial...
- This $918,053 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental and applied research to document and characterize the diverse communities of marine epizoic diatoms living on endangered marine megafauna. The overall project objectives are to: 1) describe and formally document up to 50 new species of epizoic diatoms; 2) reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of these diatoms to understand their evolution and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
- This three-year, $390,357 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating marine diatom-parasite relationships in upwelling systems. The principal investigator at Princeton University will analyze archived samples from diatom-dominated upwelling regions using tag sequencing, metagenomics, and quantitative PCR to identify diatom-parasite pairs and examine their abundance, diversity, and dynamics over the course of blooms....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $3 million Project Grant to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study biotic and abiotic drivers of pathogen transmission in marine systems influenced by climate change. Specifically, the award will fund research examining how climate change and other human impacts alter disease transmission dynamics in marine populations. The project focuses on investigating the...
- This Project Grant award of $100,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research led by the University of Puerto Rico's Research and Development Center to investigate symbiotic relationships between ciliates, bacteria, and archaea in marine oxygen-depleted environments. The study aims to identify the role of these microbial consortia in increasingly prevalent ocean "dead zones" and shed light on their metabolic adaptations and...
