On April 2, the Russian Science Foundation published the results of the grant competition for basic research projects and exploratory research projects by individual research teams. The competition received 4 491 applications and 534 projects were granted support based on expert review criteria. One of the winning projects is a study supervised by KarRC RAS Director General, Corresponding Academician Olga Bakhmet on “Prospects of using bottom sediments from fish farms in northern regions of Russia to enhance soil fertility and crop yields”.
In March, the Russian Science Foundation also announced the results of several competitions, including “Conducting research using available world-class scientific infrastructure”. The competition received 398 applications and 101 projects were granted support based on expert review criteria. One of the winners was the project “The Language of 17th-19th cc. Balto-Finnic Writing Heritage: Integrated Analysis on the Basis of the LingvoDoc Linguistic Platform”, which will be implemented with the help of the Computing Resources and Competence Sharing Center of the RAS Institute for System Programming. The Project Leader is the Director of the Institute of Linguistics, Literature and History KarRC RAS Irina Novak.
We congratulate the project leaders on receiving the grants and wish success in their research!

Karelian biologists ran successful trials of a technique for detecting fish infection with helminths based on traces of their DNA in water
Specialists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS were the first in the republic to test the method of environmental DNA analysis (eDNA) to detect a model fish parasite in an area impacted by trout farms. This is especially important in the context of a growing number of fish farms that use the practice of transporting stock (fry) from between water bodies, which creates a risk of new parasites appearing in lakes. Currently, fish have to be captured and examined to detect an infection, and for the output to be accurate the sample should be at least 15 fish. This may be problematic in the wild and costly in cage facilities. The eDNA diagnosis system can detect the presence of parasites directly in water samples.
