This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $699,688 provides funding over four years from April 2022 through March 2026 for research into ecological and coevolutionary feedbacks in multi-mutualist communities. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University of Massachusetts Boston will conduct experimental research using strains of budding...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant, titled "The Ecological and Evolutionary Effects of Combined Stresses in a Mutualism," will fund research to investigate how microbial mutualisms are impacted by multiple environmental stresses. The project will conduct over 3,900 growth experiments and 150 evolution experiments to develop tools for...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.25 million Project Grant to Texas Tech University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund research from August 2022 to July 2027 defining the mechanisms and consequences of mutualism reorganization in changing environments. The award will support four integrated research aims exploring how plant-fungal mutualisms are reorganized by invasive plant species at multiple scales, from mutualism and population levels to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,586 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Office of Sponsored Projects Administration to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of mutualisms for species range expansion from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. This award supports research 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) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, will test how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of leaf defensive hairs in legume plants. The $1,180,492 award, effective from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, aims to determine how microbial symbionts contribute to host trait evolution, specifically examining the link between symbiont effects on host defense traits and the host resources they...
This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund postdoctoral research exploring the effects of rapid evolution on alternative community states at multiple spatial scales. The fellow, Lucas Nell, will conduct laboratory experiments and develop mathematical models to study how trait evolution influences the composition of alternative microbial community states in monkeyflower nectar and their prevalence across a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 5-year collaborative research study on the role of microbial symbionts in influencing host plant fitness and population dynamics. The $188,491 award was made to the University of New Mexico to investigate how fluctuations in the benefits provided by fungal endophytes to their grass host plants vary over time, potentially stabilizing host populations and promoting genetic...
This $354,416 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to advance scientific understanding of how symbiotic co-evolution influences the evolution of complexity, and develop novel problem-solving algorithms inspired by symbiotic co-evolutionary dynamics. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) conducting digital evolution experiments to study how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Boise State University to study the mechanisms governing the formation and stability of species-rich microbial communities. The funding is provided through the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which supports activities that build capacity for science and engineering and broaden participation in research and education. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to characterize the environmental factors...
This three-year, $673,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the role of ecological interactions in diversification among coexisting microbial species. The University of California, Irvine will study how commensal interactions, where one species benefits while the other is unaffected, influence the formation of new bacterial species in microbial communities. Researchers will culture bacteria in a commensal...
