The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $236,670 to the University of Miami under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on May 15, 2026, for the Radioisotope Monitoring Program supporting the United States Academic Research Fleet (ARF). The award funds the Seawater and Microbial Biota (SWAB) Program, which develops and maintains standardized sample collection kits, contamination control protocols, and quality assurance procedures for oceanographic research cruises conducted through the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). The SWAB Program ensures consistent acquisition of uncontaminated seawater and microbial samples across ARF vessels, thereby strengthening the reliability and reproducibility of oceanographic research. In addition to providing standardized tools and protocols for clean sample collection, the SWAB Program operates a centralized archive and distribution system that preserves collected samples for future research applications, extending their scientific value beyond initial studies. This infrastructure supports critical research in marine ecosystems, climate change, and ocean health across the ARF's operations in the oceans, Great Lakes, and polar regions. The award, which extends through April 30, 2031, reflects NSF's commitment to fundamental oceanographic research and workforce development, with no subawards planned for this project.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
