- This Project Grant award in the amount of $502,819.00 was made by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Hawai'i Pacific University on August 15, 2025. The goal of this two-year project is to conduct an ecosystem-scale experiment to investigate how saltwater intrusion influences water chemistry, microbial communities, and methane dynamics in coastal wetlands in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the mechanisms behind how...
- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This $200,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The goal is to evaluate the immediate and long-term impacts of the 2023 Maui wildfires on the chemical and microbiological quality of nearby beach and coastal waters. The project will collect and analyze environmental samples, including sediments, surface water, and groundwater, to characterize the extent and mechanisms of contaminant...
- 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 two-year, $237,651 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program will support research at the University of Hawaii aimed at understanding microbial interactions under changing environments and broadening scientific training opportunities. The grant recipient, University of Hawaii, will partner with the University of California, San Diego to leverage locally important fermented foods like taro to determine how abiotic and biotic factors influence the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $200,000 provides funding to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa to enhance capacity and facilitate an equitable response to water contamination issues resulting from the wildfires in Maui, Hawaii in August 2023. The project will leverage prior work on water contamination response and community collaborations to: Develop innovative approaches to predict and detect the extent and distribution of...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will receive $748,827 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to illuminate the physiology, cellular characteristics, and ecogenomics of the first cultivated strain of the SAR86 lineage. This research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined under the NSF program. The University of Hawaii...
- This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
This federal Project Grant award of $199,992.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The project, titled "HYDROGEOLOGIC CONTROLS ON THE ACCUMULATION, TRANSPORT, AND DISCHARGE OF FECAL INDICATOR BACTERIA IN COASTAL BEACHES", will investigate how coastal hydrologic forces influence the movement and discharge of fecal indicator bacteria in beach aquifers. The research team will conduct fieldwork and develop advanced computer models to simulate bacteria transport in beach sediments, with the goal of improving prediction and management of water quality risks in coastal zones. The project will also provide training for two graduate students and engage undergraduate students through research opportunities. Additionally, the team plans to involve local communities through educational outreach and citizen science activities to support long-term coastal water stewardship in Hawaii. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
