The Ohio State University received a $322,954 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant supports research on plant-soil feedbacks and population dynamics of two arid system shrubs with contrasting spatial distributions and life histories. This work aligns with the Biological Sciences program under the CFDA number 47.074. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the...
This $298,578 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Ohio State University. The goal of this Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project is to develop novel genetically encoded biosensors as a proxy for detecting and monitoring biomolecular condensates - dynamic membraneless cellular compartments formed through liquid-liquid phase separation - in multicellular plant organisms over...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $322,130 to Franklin and Marshall College to conduct research on the cellular basis of seed filling in the Arabidopsis thaliana plant model. The research aims to generate a three-dimensional atlas of gene expression patterns during the seed maturation process, using single-nucleus RNA sequencing techniques. This data will enable the reconstruction of gene regulatory networks...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $497,039 to Valdosta State University to investigate the biochemical mechanisms by which reactive oxygen species activate the GCN2 protein kinase and its role in regulating protein synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant system. The research aims to enhance understanding of plant stress responses and translational control mechanisms, which could contribute to developing...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
The National Science Foundation awarded Oregon State University a three-year $598,439 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant funds research into the evolutionary genetics of an alternative molecular mechanism of hypoxia response in metazoans. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $206,320 Project Grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center for the period of May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023. The grant supports collaborative research to develop an artificial chromosome system in Chlamydomonas based on CENH3 tethering under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
