This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the ecological implications of whole genome duplication in plants. The $240,000 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable the fellow to develop new phylogenetic comparative methods to understand how whole-genome duplication impacts climatic niche dynamics. The research will leverage existing...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award supports a research project that explores the interactions between plants, animals, and people in a complex forest ecosystem in Madagascar. The research aims to use genetic and statistical tools to study species relationships and how habitat changes impact the ecosystem, including effects on...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $432,000 will fund research and training activities under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The award supports an NSF Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Dr. Ian S. Gilman at Michigan State University, under the supervision of Dr. Robert VanBuren. The fellowship project, "Exploring Cell-Type Regulatory Dynamics of CAM and C4 Photosynthesis in...
This $341,473 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to develop new methods for measuring plant traits using leaf spectroscopy on herbarium specimens. The primary objective is to enable large-scale assessments of how plant functional traits and their combinations have evolved across different biomes, such as rainforests, savannas, and deserts. The research will generate new phylogenetic data and...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $432,000 will fund research and training on the interplay of ploidy and the distribution of fitness effects in Brassica crops. Awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship for Dr. Justin Conover from March 1, 2023 to February 28, 2026. The fellowship will be hosted at the University of Arizona under the sponsorship of Drs. Michael Barker and Ryan Gutenkunst. Through...
This $534,635 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate the genomic, cellular, and physiological effects of whole genome duplications on organismal energy production in plants. The research aims to enhance understanding of the genetic underpinnings of plant energy production, particularly how the balance between nuclear, mitochondrial,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex.
