Mississippi State University received a $1.13 million project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on April 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PURSUIT: SAMPLING AMOEBOID PROTISTS AS A RESERVOIR OF UNKNOWN/UNDESCRIBED EUKARYOTIC DIVERSITY." The award will fund research through March 31, 2024 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the project grant will support Mississippi State University researchers in conducting fieldwork to sample amoeboid protists, a group of single-celled eukaryotes, to discover unknown and undescribed diversity within this domain of life and enhance understanding of biodiversity.
