The National Science Foundation awarded a $826,475 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Office of Sponsored Projects Administration to support collaborative research titled "Microbial Necromass Decomposition: Moving from Predictions to Principles" from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major issues facing the nation. Specifically, the funded research will work to advance understanding of microbial decomposition of dead organic matter in various ecosystems by moving beyond predictive modeling to establish underlying principles through an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach. The three-year grant period and funding amount will support this work between NSF and the University of Minnesota.
