The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $292,368 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, will support research to "disentangle the drivers and dangers of toxic cyanobacteria biosynthetic heterogeneity in cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs)." The goal is to identify the effects of...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under the Department of Defense's Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630) provides $500,000.00 in funding to the University of Toledo to disrupt and manage riverine and other large-scale freshwater harmful algal blooms. The project period runs from September 27, 2024, through September 26, 2025. As a comprehensive research university, the University of Toledo has...
The University of Florida received a three-year, $330,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to research the atmospheric processes of microcystins in airborne cyanobacterial aerosols. Funded through NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 examining the transport and breakdown of toxins produced by cyanobacteria in atmospheric conditions. As the place of performance, the University will leverage its...
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OH EPA) was awarded an $880,088 three-year Project Grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative federal grant program. Through this funding, OH EPA will work with Ohio State University and the University of Toledo to study microcystin production rates and cell lysis events related to cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie. Specifically, the partners will collect...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for $111,215 will support research by the Regents of the University of Michigan to study cyanobacteria, nitrogen cycling, and export production in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the relative contributions of cyanobacteria versus eukaryotic algae to primary production, 2) evaluate export production of cyanobacterial productivity, and 3) constrain historical...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $329,999 three-year Project Grant to Stony Brook University under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support research on the detection of airborne endotoxins and toxins from harmful algal blooms. The university will investigate the longevity and potency of cyanobacterial toxins in the atmosphere and the effect of oxidants on their properties from September 2021 through August 2024. As the prime awardee, Stony Brook University will leverage its...
This Project Grant award, totaling $620,000.00, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The purpose of the award is to determine the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on microbiome health and neurotoxicity in bluegill, an economically and ecologically important fish species in the Great Lakes region. The key research activities include: 1) characterizing PFAS bioaccumulation and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $300,000 was awarded to Michigan State University to investigate the complex interactions between human disturbances and natural features that impact U.S. lake ecosystems and harmful algal blooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include: Developing machine learning models to quantify the relationships between multiple human disturbances and their impacts...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $497,069 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC) to conduct research on the mechanisms of cyanide-induced neurotoxicity and purine dysregulation. The research aims to elucidate the metabolite disturbances downstream of cyanide exposure, as well as develop new tools to investigate the effects of cyanide and other neurotoxicants on the nervous system. The...
This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund research at the University of South Carolina from August 2021 through July 2024 related to optimizing the removal of cyanotoxins from water through UV/chlorine treatment processes.
