This $506,900 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of California, Davis to understand the molecular mechanisms of plant immune response to herbivore-associated peptide elicitors. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will leverage a newly discovered pattern recognition receptor in common beans, INR, to quantify its contribution to overall herbivore defense against caterpillars. Researchers will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded a $1,059,027 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside), a public research university. This collaborative research project aims to investigate the evolution of the megadiverse plant bugs, the insect family Miridae, which are both significant crop pests and beneficial predators. The research team will construct a phylogeny of plant bugs using...
Tufts University was awarded a $449,651 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research to use herbivore kairomones to assess short-term and legacy risk responses in the early life stages of long-lived woody plants. In line with the program's goals of advancing biological sciences and strengthening the national...
This $680,134 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of California, Davis examining the effects of phenological shifts on plant-insect interactions due to climate change. The grantee will use herbarium specimens collected over the past hundred years and an experimental garden mimicking past, present and future climatic conditions to assess potential novel species interactions resulting from changes...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $542,445 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate the evolution and biogeographic history of the megadiverse plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) insect family. The research aims to construct a robust phylogeny of plant bugs using genomic data, examine their dietary...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $899,374 project grant to the University of California Irvine from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant supports research titled "BEE: TESTING A PHYLOGENETIC TRAIT FRAMEWORK FOR SOIL MICROBIOMES" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $448,286 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the President & Trustees of Williams College. The five-year grant, awarded on June 1, 2025, will fund research to understand how plants produce, recognize, and interact with anthranilates - a class of secondary metabolites that can deter herbivores and reduce microbial infections. The project aims to identify the molecular determinants of anthranilate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
