This $406,843 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports research at the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate the role of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the bioluminescence signaling of the red tide dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra. The key objectives are to: 1) evaluate the mRNA levels of a target GPCR candidate (RC3) and its effectors using RT-qPCR and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $704,695 to The Roskamp Institute, Inc. to investigate the neurological effects of aerosolized red tide neurotoxins. The primary goals are to determine the dose-response relationship between aerosolized exposure to the neurotoxin brevetoxin and the development of neurological symptoms, as well as whether individuals with preexisting...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,072 to Florida Gulf Coast University to explore a model-data framework that advances predictions of red tide events and their impact on respiratory illnesses in coastal communities under changing temperature conditions. The research involves an interdisciplinary team analyzing spatial and temporal data on red tide occurrences and respiratory health to discern dynamic relationships. Key...
This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - South Florida Geographic Initiatives Program (CFDA 66.484) provides $749,972 to Florida State University to enhance ecological resiliency in the South Florida Gulf region. Key activities include: Evaluating historical characteristics of Karenia brevis (red tide) blooms using in-situ monitoring data and satellite imagery, developing a regional model to predict long-term dynamics of K. brevis...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $192,927 to Florida State University to explore a model-data framework for advancing predictions of red tide events and their impact on respiratory illnesses under changing temperature conditions along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The research focuses on improving red tide forecasting and assessing/mitigating public health impacts through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates earth system...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $4 million cooperative agreement to Florida International University on September 1, 2022 through the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to establish a monitoring network and database capturing the biological and biochemical diversity of phytoplankton and water quality measurements in Biscayne Bay, Florida. As part of a larger effort, Florida International University will provide 80 water samples...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $200,230 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to the University of South Carolina. The grant funds research to characterize the atmospheric transformation of harmful cyanobacterial algae (HABs) and investigate the mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity from inhaled HAB aerosols. The project will utilize an environmental chamber to produce and analyze transformed HAB aerosols, which will then be...
This $663,306 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training) is funding research to understand how environmental factors across land-sea ecosystems shape the ecology and transmission of virulent parasites, specifically Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis neurona, that infect southern sea otters. The 4-year project, with a start date of Sep 1, 2024, aims to generate new datasets and develop an integrative...
This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4, under the Geographic Programs - South Florida Geographic Initiatives Program (CFDA 66.484), provides $499,998 in funding to the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida TECH) to support a project addressing modified biochar technology for simultaneous red tide mitigation, nutrient reduction, and carbon sequestration. The key activities include synthesis and characterization of modified biochar, analysis of toxin...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to Florida Atlantic University (FAU) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven system for individual photo-identification and tracking of Florida manatees, a threatened marine species. The $630,001 award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2029, will fund the development of new explainable AI algorithms to identify and track individual manatees by their...
