- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,384,257 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant funding will support a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of nutrient sensing and homeostasis in plants. Key objectives include identifying the pathways by which plants respond to low potassium and high magnesium levels, and how...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded $1.1M to the University of California, Davis under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct fundamental research investigating how cytokinin hormonal signaling regulates cell plate development and callose deposition during plant cell division. The project, which commenced August 1, 2025, and concludes July 31, 2028, will deliver mechanistic insights into...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $373,019 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles Office of Research Administration to support collaborative research modeling the origin and evolution of Hawaiian plants from January 15, 2021 through December 31, 2023. The award is being used to fund research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $680,000 in funding to Yale University to conduct research on regulating stem cell patterning and activity in citrus plants. The key activities under this 3-year award, running from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, involve assessing auxin distribution and activity in citrus, experimenting to perturb auxin action, and...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was awarded a $260,535 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences. The grant supports the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MIM: USING MULTILAYER INTERACTION NETWORKS TO PREDICT MICROBIOME ASSEMBLY AND FUNCTION" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), UCLA researchers will use multilevel interaction networks to predict microbiome...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was awarded a $1,111,344 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant supports research titled "CAREER: PERMISSIVE ACIDITY AS A REGULATOR OF PLANT CELL EXPANSION" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2026 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA #47.074). The project aims to investigate how plant cells regulate their internal acidity to control expansion of cell walls during growth. As described under the CFDA program, this basic research furthers understanding of major problems in biology. The five-year grant allows UCLA researchers to study the molecular mechanisms by which plant cells fine-tune acidity within their walls to modify wall properties and direct expansion, findings applicable to agriculture, forestry, and bioenergy.
