This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $233,411 Project Grant to Haverford College under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to systematically investigate the genomic and molecular bases of floral trait variation among three closely related species of monkeyflowers that exhibit distinct pollination syndromes. The key objectives are to: 1) Generate and use near-isogenic lines to genetically dissect the quantitative...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research at Utah State University in Logan, Utah to study the evolution of extended floral phenotypes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic research on major problems. This award will further those goals by...
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. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $314,715 Project Grant to President And Fellows Of Harvard College from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "EDGE FGT: Transformation and Genomic Resources to Advance Diverse, Emerging Model Angiosperms" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific...
This $290,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program is supporting research to study how plant hormones stimulate rapid growth in stamen filaments, the male flower organs that produce pollen. The project aims to examine the cellular and molecular events during stamen filament elongation, revealing how this growth is controlled by hormones and coordinated with pollen release. Key activities include using advanced microscopy, gene expression...
This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $835,320 Project Grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period January 15, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support research studying the mechanisms of transport through plasmodesmata in plant cells. Specifically, the grantee will examine the transport of messenger RNAs that encode homeodomain transcription factors, which are important for plant growth and stem cell...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Cornell University to investigate the genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating the 3D patterning and development of grass leaves. The $735,000 award, spanning from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028, will focus on understanding how the LG1 and WOX3 transcription factors interact to coordinate leaf width, length, and angle in maize plants. The...
