The University of Michigan was awarded a $270,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to support the project "Scalable Population Genetic and Phylogenetic Inference Using Large Samples of Microbial Data." The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 with a completion date of March 31, 2024 under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
The grant aims to advance understanding of major scientific problems by promoting progress in mathematical and physical sciences. Specifically, the University of Michigan will develop scalable statistical and computational methods to analyze large datasets arising from population genetic and phylogenetic studies of microbes. This will enable inference of evolutionary relationships from genome-scale samples and enhance scientific knowledge of microbial diversity and evolution.
