Auburn University received a $445,114 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for collaborative research examining freshwater mussel physiological responses to multiple stressors. The award, effective January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2030, will deliver integrated research services combining subcellular biomarkers, physiological experiments, field studies, and Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modeling to assess how two freshwater mussel species respond to water temperature and sedimentation changes. The research addresses a critical conservation gap, as approximately 66 percent of North American freshwater mussel species are threatened, endangered, or extinct due to environmental alterations from agricultural runoff and water-use projects. The deliverables include stage-specific and species-specific physiological data to inform mussel conservation and management programs for state, federal, and international agencies; risk assessment frameworks for mussel monitoring initiatives; and predictive tools using machine learning and data analytics applicable to ecotoxicological assessments, aquaculture, and agricultural practices. Auburn University will also provide educational outreach and career development in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields across three Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) states through partnerships with local science centers, zoos, and museums to create exhibits and video displays that increase public engagement with mussel conservation science.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
