The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $838,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms of functional diversity maintenance in tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms. The project, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will test the hypothesis that trees maintain a diverse portfolio of fungal partners as a form of "bet-hedging" to adapt to environmental...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $5,750,408 Cooperative Agreement under its Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) to establish the NSF Biofoundry for Extreme & Exceptional Fungi, Archaea and Bacteria (EX-FAB) at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in collaboration with the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (CPP). The EX-FAB biofoundry will develop automated workflows...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
This $300,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences will fund research into plant-fungal associations between seagrasses and marine fungi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Over a two-year period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, the Regents of the University of California at Riverside will analyze publicly available data and conduct culture-dependent and -independent methods to characterize the phenotypic and functional diversity...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award, titled "CAREER: Genomic, Cellular, and Physiological Effects of Whole Genome Duplications on Organismal Energy Production," is providing $534,635 in funding to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) from January 1, 2025 to January 31, 2027. The project aims to investigate how whole genome duplication events in plants affect the balance between the nuclear, chloroplast, and...
