- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a CAREER grant totaling $1,004,780 to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on July 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This five-year project, which extends through June 30, 2031, will advance fundamental research on bacterial-fungal interactions, specifically examining how endofungal bacteria (bacteria living internally within fungal...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a five-year, $2,452,563 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study species interactions and seasonal transmission of fungal diseases in plant populations. Through experimental testing under field conditions, the university aims to understand how pathogen transmission can be influenced by within-host interactions and varying environmental conditions. It will manipulate disease...
The University of Louisville received a $335,013 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research characterizing the effectors of the Microbotryum complex of fungal phytopathogens from April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2023. As part of this project grant, the University of Louisville will conduct research to further the understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the funding will support the functional characterization of effectors produced by fungi in the Microbotryum complex that cause diseases in plant hosts. This research aims to increase scientific knowledge of these fungal phytopathogens.
