This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program provides $1,209,043 to Mississippi State University (MSU) to conduct an interdisciplinary research project aimed at enhancing soybean resilience to climate change-induced heat and drought.

The project brings together a team of 11 STEM experts, social and economic scientists, extension specialists, and outreach professionals to assess the impact of climate change on soybean yields at the cellular, plant, and field levels. Key strategies include generating single-cell data, using advanced sensing to collect detailed morphological and physiological data, evaluating soil chemistry and microbial communities, and utilizing artificial intelligence to identify beneficial microbes and RNA markers. The team will test these solutions in field conditions and evaluate the impacts on marginalized communities. Additionally, the project focuses on STEM workforce development, providing training for 40 K-12 teachers, 30 summer interns, and 200 students through the Developing Diverse Researchers program, which will indirectly reach over 6,000 K-12 students and thousands of community members annually.
