- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $656,273 to the University of Montana to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in monkeyflowers. The project aims to investigate how genes and DNA sequences cause selfish centromere drive, how plants resist this drive, and the impacts on seed and pollen production. The research team will leverage new chromosome-scale genome...
- This $1,545,144 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at Michigan State University to understand the genetic, developmental, morphological, and physiological mechanisms of local adaptation of the coastal ecotype of Mimulus guttatus to oceanic salt spray. The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research divided into three aims. The first aim examines avoidance of salt spray through compact growth and late...
- The University of Michigan was awarded a $314,399 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BEE: BRIDGING THE ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF EAST AFRICAN ACACIAS ACROSS TIME AND SPACE: GENOMICS, ECOSYSTEM, AND DIVERSIFICATION." The three-year grant, awarded September 1, 2021 with a completion date of August 31, 2024, will fund research under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074)....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $399,116 to the University of Oregon to explore the genetic and genomic factors underlying the repeated evolution of red flowers in the Mimulus aurantiacus plant species. The research aims to identify candidate mutations controlling this trait, map epistasis and its impact on selection efficacy, and distinguish between linkage and pleiotropy as causes for genetic correlations with...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research at Utah State University in Logan, Utah to study the evolution of extended floral phenotypes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic research on major problems. This award will further those goals by...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) totaling $589,299 will fund research into the molecular mechanisms of protein association with plastoglobule lipid droplets at Michigan State University. The award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,040,113 Project Grant to the University of Michigan under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028. The grant will support research examining the drivers of variation in plant-animal defense mutualisms, specifically investigating ecological, micro-, and macro-evolutionary variation in mite domatia structures across North American tree communities, genera, and species. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $216,000 Project Grant to support the research project "Leveraging Frequent Monoicy-Dioicy Transitions in Hornworts to Understand the Rules of Sex Determination" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. This award falls under the 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 enhancing understanding of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $216,000 Project Grant to an individual located in East Lansing, Michigan from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Under this award, the grantee will conduct research to uncover the regulatory mechanisms for a genetic switch between anthocyanin and carotenoid pigmentation in monkeyflowers. This work advances the program's goals by furthering scientific knowledge of biological processes through studying the genetic controls of pigment expression in these flowering plants. The total funding amount of $216,000 over a three-year period will support the grantee's research efforts to elucidate these regulatory mechanisms at the molecular level.
