- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,674,172 to the West Virginia University Research Corporation aims to deepen the understanding of forest-based climate solutions (FBCS) in the Eastern United States. The key research activities include: Quantifying the impacts of common forest management practices on carbon storage, climate resilience, and other co-benefits through a network of long-term forest management plots. Surveying small...
The West Virginia University Research Corporation received a $156,755 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure. The grant supports the collaborative research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CSBR: OWNERSHIP TRANSFER: LIVING STOCKS: INTERNATIONAL CULTURE COLLECTION OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (INVAM)" from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024. The grant is funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, this award will support the transfer of ownership and maintenance of the living fungal stocks in the International Culture Collection of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, helping advance research on these symbiotic fungi that play an important role in plant nutrient uptake and health.
