This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund the collection and analysis of gut microbiome samples from over 3,300 animal species, representing the most comprehensive dataset to date. This will allow for improved understanding of the origins and ecological controls of gut microbiomes across the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $900,000.00 to Colorado State University (CSU) aims to develop a novel microbiome modeling platform. The platform will integrate omics data, thermodynamics principles, metabolic models, and artificial intelligence to unravel the metabolism, interactions, and evolution of microbiomes. This research will be applied to address specific questions regarding the microbiome of a "rewired...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Extremes in the Interplay: The Development and Effects of Gut Microorganisms within Earth's Largest Terrestrial Species." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted in Fort Collins, Colorado through July 31, 2023. The $138k grant will fund research examining the gut microbiomes of large terrestrial species and how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $376,301 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Rochester. The grant, titled "CAREER: Programmable Microbial Community Composition and Function Using Plasmid Conjugation," aims to develop an innovative platform that leverages horizontal gene transfer to self-regulate and stabilize microbial consortia. The project seeks to overcome challenges in controlling the balance of bacterial species...
This five-year, $2.5 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Stanford University to systematically dissect complex synthetic gut bacterial communities. Principal Investigator Dr. Lance Palmer and collaborators at the University of California, Berkeley will develop an integrated model spanning molecular to community levels focusing on corrinoid metabolites. They will synthesize gut-relevant corrinoids and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $270,000 supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on elucidating the chemical potential of the small intestinal microbiome. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the microbial composition and metabolic capabilities of the small intestine using next-generation sequencing and high-throughput growth assays to understand how microbes respond to factors like oxygen and bile...
This $249,999 Project Grant award, titled "RCN-UBE: MICROBIOMES IN COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES NETWORK (MICRONET)", was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
