The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic biological research and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellowship will fund research at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana to advance...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund a research and training plan to study how climate change-driven increases in temperature affect the bioturbation activities of chironomid larvae and the resulting impacts on nutrient cycling and bacterial activity in freshwater ecosystems, particularly in urban streams in Puerto Rico....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training focused on investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes of lichen holobionts (the lichen organism and its associated microbiome) in response to climate change. The key objectives are to:...
NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: USING METACOMMUNITY THEORY TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF MULTI-SPECIES INTERACTIONS ON GUT MICROBIAL ASSEMBLY This $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will fund research from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023.

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
This $138,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in plant microbiomes under global change. The fellow will test new theory on plant-microbe associations and apply a tradeoff framework analyzing microbial yield,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $199,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Merced, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving educational institution, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research project aims to quantify the response of oxic methane production to biogeochemical changes in aquatic ecosystems, using record Sierra Nevada snowmelt as a natural experiment. The researchers will determine the mechanisms...
