Cornell University was awarded a $303,954 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund the collaborative research project "Bees of the World - Phylogenomics, Biogeography, and Evolution of Host-Plant Associations" from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.
The project aims to advance scientific understanding of major problems in biology by increasing knowledge of bee evolution and host plant relationships. Specifically, the grant will support research using genomic techniques to study bee phylogeny on a global scale and explore how plant associations have influenced bee biogeography and diversification over time. Insights gained from this collaborative research project have the potential to strengthen the nation's biological sciences enterprise.
