The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Investigating How Neopolyploidy Affects the Core Microbiome and How the Extended Phenotype Can Facilitate Ecological Establishment." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted in Syracuse, NY through July 31, 2023. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. This particular award will fund research investigating the impacts of whole genome duplication, or neopolyploidy, on core microbiomes and the role the extended phenotype plays in facilitating ecological establishment. The $138,000 in funding and two-year period will support this work.
