The National Science Foundation awarded a $254,148 Project Grant to President & Trustees Of Williams College on July 15, 2021 with a completion date of June 30, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
Under the award, Williams College will research how primitive land plants reproduce by harnessing mechanical energy from water. Specifically, the college will investigate hydropowered reproduction in plants and how this trait first evolved. Insights from this work could further understanding of major problems in plant biology and evolution. The award provides three years of funding for the proposed research activities.
