This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $315,954 to Portland State University to conduct research on the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The 3-year project aims to quantify the surface characteristics of major marine microbial groups and assess how these properties influence feeding selectivity and fate of particles by suspension-feeding organisms like...
This Project Grant award for $137,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Roger Williams University. The funding supports a collaborative research project titled "Beyond Colloblasts: Fast-Acting Predation for Trophic Success in Ctenophores" that investigates the use of neurotoxic chemicals by ctenophores, commonly known as comb jellies, to capture prey. The research aims to quantify how these chemicals incapacitate prey, their...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $598,958 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to conduct collaborative research on the intergenerational effects of predation risk and resource identity on rocky shore ecosystems. The study will use field and laboratory experiments to examine how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource regimes influences offspring prey fitness, and how these intergenerational...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $535,465 to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) for a collaborative research project titled "Biodesign: A Deep Dive into Dynamic Damping in Extreme Underwater Maneuvering". The primary goal is to investigate how fish achieve rapid maneuvers that exceed the capabilities of advanced robotic systems, focusing on the hypothesis that fish can dynamically modulate...
The University of Oregon was awarded a $349,438 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The three-year award, issued on October 1, 2021 and set to conclude on September 30, 2024, will support collaborative research examining plankton size spectra and trophic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $1,444,777 from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the relationship between fine-scale water column structure, particle aggregations, and gelatinous-dominated food webs in subtropical continental shelf environments. The research is taking place in the South Atlantic Bight and Northern Gulf...
This $463,845 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support research to investigate the prey capture mechanisms of ctenophores, commonly known as comb jellies. The research aims to quantify how neurotoxic chemicals in ctenophore mucus incapacitate prey, assess the prevalence of these toxins across ctenophore species, and evaluate their effectiveness on different prey types. This work is expected to yield a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
This $226,024 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the role of mucus in the success and range expansion of Cassiopea jellyfish and related species. Over three years, the University of Arizona will investigate the physical properties of Cassiopea mucus and its effects on plankton mobility. Researchers will characterize venom and mucus proteins to understand how they aid jellyfish and change with temperature fluctuations....
