- This three-year, $627,543 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the Marine Biological Laboratory to elucidate the mechanisms underlying circatidal rhythms in the coastal crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis. The researchers will investigate how P. hawaiensis uses environmental cues like water levels and turbulence to synchronize its behavior with tidal cycles. They will identify genes controlling the organism's...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $778,435 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate the mechanisms underlying circatidal rhythms in the coastal crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis. The researchers will work to elucidate the fundamental properties and molecular underpinnings of circatidal clocks, which allow organisms to anticipate tidal changes similar to circadian clocks and daily...

The award is funded under NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) which supports basic research to promote the progress of the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. The grant will support research to...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026. This award supports the development and operation of the Research Collaboration Networks for Quantitative Cell Biology (RCN-QCB), which centers on a six-week summer Advanced Research Training Course...
The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded The Marine Biological Laboratory $954,519 on August 1, 2026, for collaborative research on the molecular and neural mechanisms controlling circatidal rhythms in Parhyale hawaiensis under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research identifies genes encoding the circatidal clock—an internal ~12.4-hour timekeeper marine animals use to anticipate and adapt to tidal cycles—and characterizes the neurons that use those genes to optimize behavior with tides. The work uses the small crustacean P. hawaiensis as a model to compare how circadian and circatidal clocks interact to control behavior, advancing understanding of animal resilience in cyclical environments. The project includes organization of a yearly scientific symposium bringing together researchers from the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, and the University of Puerto Rico to foster scientific exchange and collaboration among the three institutions. Performance occurs at Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts, through July 31, 2030.
