The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Extremes in the Interplay: The Development and Effects of Gut Microorganisms within Earth's Largest Terrestrial Species." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted in Fort Collins, Colorado through July 31, 2023.
The $138k grant will fund research examining the gut microbiomes of large terrestrial species and how environmental extremes impact microbial communities and host physiology. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major issues. This award supports those goals by exploring how gut microbes develop and function within very large land animals under varying conditions.
