This $250,472 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund research examining the role of biotic interactions in the latitudinal tree diversity gradient through a chemical community ecology approach. The grantee, Washington University in St. Louis, will analyze metabolomes of over 2,000 tree and shrub species across 20 forest plots ranging from subarctic Canada to the Amazon rainforest. In collaboration with subawardees Utah State...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $834,111 to the University of Texas at Austin to advance understanding of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient through chemical ecology research. The grantee will analyze metabolomes of over 2,000 tree and shrub species across 20 forest plots ranging from boreal Canada to the Amazon rainforest. They will combine these data with existing information on tree community diversity,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to establish an interdisciplinary graduate training program at the interface of chemistry and biology. The program will train 68 master's and doctoral students, including 23 NSF-funded trainees, to utilize advances in chemistry, genomics, and mathematical modeling to address fundamental questions about the generation and maintenance...
This $431,424 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of Kentucky to advance understanding of plant diversification processes in the tropical Andes mountains. The research team will develop new genomic analysis software and mathematical models to disentangle the biological and environmental drivers of diversification among four groups of flowering plants endemic to the region. They will...
This $3,000,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Washington State University (WSU). The overarching goal is to transform academic culture by creating a network connecting universities with local tribes and building a collaborative framework to engage indigenous knowledge systems in biological research on systems resilience. Key products and services under this grant include:...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project to develop functional pangenomic and machine learning tools for exploring genetic diversity in plants. The $1,346,558 grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, will enable the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR), a non-profit research institute, to create a modular software tool that will help scientists study genetic diversity in various...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
This $1,459,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research at Northern Arizona University from March 2023 to February 2028. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological science knowledge and address major problems facing the nation. Specifically, the grant will fund research reconstructing the historical relationship between Emory oak ecosystems and Western Apache tribes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to Northern Arizona University on May 1, 2025, provides $202,001 to investigate how plant-soil feedback mechanisms can promote the resilience of piñon-juniper woodlands to drought. The project aims to develop new methods to restore piñon pine trees in areas devastated by drought by examining the role of beneficial soil microbes in supporting seedling growth and survival. The research integrates...
This $988,130 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program focuses on advancing understanding of the evolutionary history and ecological adaptations of the Montiaceae plant family. Led by researchers at Yale University, the project will construct a comprehensive phylogeny (evolutionary tree) for the Montiaceae, which contains ~250 species of annual and perennial herbs found across diverse environments like deserts, mountains, and Mediterranean regions....
