Oregon State University was awarded a $711,268 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 exploring self versus group-sensing in bacteria. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal to strengthen the nation's biological research enterprise and increase scientific understanding, this project aims to advance knowledge of major problems in the field through basic research on bacterial communication and behavior. The three-year grant will support Oregon State University's examination of how bacteria sense themselves versus their group to respond to environmental changes as individuals or collectives.
