- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to support a postdoctoral fellowship to elucidate the chemical potential of the small intestinal microbiome. The research aims to characterize how individual small intestine (SI) microbes and microbial communities respond to host factors and protect against pathogens, which could aid in developing microbiome-targeted therapies. The postdoctoral fellow will use a novel...
- This federal Project Grant award of $914,479 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to study the spatial organization and stability of synthetic gut microbiome communities in gnotobiotic mice. The research aims to elucidate the principles governing the assembly and persistence of microbial communities in the human digestive tract, which are essential for human...
- This $700,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to elucidate and manipulate carbon metabolic niches in soil microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The project aims to understand the molecular and ecological principles governing soil microbiome composition and function, with the goal of developing strategies to reintroduce and...
- The Regents of the University of California received a five-year, $2.4 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to support the research project "MIM: A Thermodynamic Theory of Microbiome Assembly, Adaptation and Evolution Evaluated Using Modular Microbial Environments" from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. This grant is being administered under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance the fundamental biological sciences and...
- 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...
- 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. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides USD 270,000 in funding from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The award supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship focused on deciphering the role of pyrazine biosynthetic enzymes in host-colonization dynamics and gut chemical diversity within the gut microbiome. The research aims to increase understanding of how microbial communication influences colonization of the host gut...
- This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) in the amount of $300,000 supports research by Duke University to develop an integrated experimental and computational approach to uncover the design principles governing microbiome function. The key objectives are to apply advanced machine learning techniques, high-throughput microbial community construction, and metabolomics to elucidate the molecular networks and cellular...
This five-year, $2.5 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Stanford University to systematically dissect complex synthetic gut bacterial communities. Principal Investigator Dr. Lance Palmer and collaborators at the University of California, Berkeley will develop an integrated model spanning molecular to community levels focusing on corrinoid metabolites. They will synthesize gut-relevant corrinoids and conduct in vitro growth experiments with a 104-strain gut microbiome library in varying corrinoid concentrations. Experiments will analyze isolated strains, community dropouts, and derived human stool communities. The impact of corrinoids on cross-feeding between interacting species pairs will also be evaluated. All work involves absorbance measurements over time and subsequent community sequencing. This grant leverages the recipients' expertise in bacterial biosynthesis, chemical synthesis, and corrinoid purification to manipulate and analyze complex communities, advancing understanding of major biological problems as aimed for in the NSF program.
