The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology-Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (CREST-PRF) track within the CREST program supports beginning CREST Center investigators with significant potential and provides them with training and research experiences that will broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and establish them in positions of leadership within the scientific community. This CREST-PRF project is aligned with the research focus of the CREST Center for the Integrated Study of Coastal Ecosystem Processes and Dynamics (CISCEP) at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. The goal of this research is to understand the relationship between comb jelly, Harmful Algae Blooms (HAB), pathogenic bacteria, and environmental factors in Maryland Coastal Bays. The recipient of this fellowship will participate in American Association for the Advancement of Science workshops and learn how to communicate this research to the public. The recipient will also broaden their knowledge of predictive modeling by attending the Chesapeake Community Research and Modeling Symposium.The Maryland Coastal Bays (MCBs) are one of the most diverse estuaries on the east coast providing habitat for juvenile fish, osprey, and terrapins. Understanding the relationship between M. leidyi, HABs, Vibrio spp. and environmental factors can be useful for environmental managers. The proposed project will be analyzing the effects of M. leidyi on Vibrio spp. and HABs abundance in the MCBs. This data will be used to develop empirical predictive models on HABs and Vibrio spp. abundance in the MCBs. Through the collaboration with the Maryland-Department of Natural Resources, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the CREST program at University of Maryland Eastern Shore, the proposed work will be able to combine knowledge and data to further understand and predict the relationship between HABs and Vibrio spp. The work will inform the public and local government on the overall health of the Maryland Coastal Bays, regarding HABs, pathogenic Vibrio spp. and can be used to design management strategies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

CREST项目中的科学和技术卓越研究中心-博士后研究奖学金(CREST-PRF)轨道为CREST中心具有巨大潜力的初学者提供支持，并为他们提供培训和研究经验，这些培训和研究经验将拓宽视野，促进跨学科互动，并使他们在科学界处于领导地位。该CREST-PRF项目与马里兰东岸大学CREST海岸生态系统过程和动态综合研究中心(CISCEP)的研究重点一致。本研究的目的是了解马里兰州海岸海湾的梳状果冻、有害藻华(HAB)、病原菌和环境因素之间的关系。这项奖学金的获得者将参加美国科学促进会的研讨会，并学习如何向公众传达这项研究。获奖者还将通过参加切萨皮克社区研究和建模研讨会来拓宽他们的预测建模知识。马里兰州海岸海湾(MCB)是东海岸最多样化的河口之一，为幼鱼、鱼鹰和水龟提供栖息地。了解莱氏分枝杆菌、赤霉菌、弧菌之间的关系。环境因素对环境管理者来说也是有用的。拟议的项目将分析莱氏分枝杆菌对弧菌的影响。和赤潮在MCB中的丰度。这些数据将用于开发赤潮和弧菌的经验预测模型。MCB中的丰富。通过与马里兰自然资源部、国家海洋和大气管理局以及马里兰大学东岸分校的CREST计划的合作，拟议的工作将能够将知识和数据结合起来，以进一步了解和预测赤潮和弧菌之间的关系。这项工作将向公众和当地政府通报马里兰州沿海海湾的总体健康状况，包括赤潮和致病弧菌。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
