This four-year, $148,875 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research to understand the evolution of plague resistance in prairie dogs. The awardee, Navajo Technical University, will conduct whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of resistant and susceptible prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of recently evolved plague resistance. Researchers will then map...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded Northern New Mexico College $111,813 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2027. The research aims to enhance understanding of plague resistance evolution in prairie dog populations. The award will support genomic and transcriptomic analysis of plague-infected prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of resistance....
This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,027,074 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work spanning July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The award will support research examining how natural selection impacts prions, which are proteins that can replicate across generations and in some cases cause disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $358,777 Project Grant to the College of William and Mary under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund collaborative research from July 2022 to June 2026. The research aims to advance understanding of how natural selection impacts prions, which are protein-based infectious agents that can cause diseases like mad cow disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities....
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Are Variants Under Selection for Disease Resistance Predictive of Disease Susceptibility Across Taxa?". The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The grant recipient, performing work in Berkeley, California, will examine whether genetic...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop new theory and predictive models for understanding how environmental pressures shape the evolution of virulence in opportunistic bacterial pathogens. The project aims to: (I) Develop and test predictive models of strain-specific virulence, transmission, and environmental origins for the model pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and (II)...
This $1,100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to President and Fellows of Harvard College aims to advance the understanding of plasmid evolution within bacterial cells. The research will develop novel experimental tools and techniques to precisely measure intracellular plasmid competition and investigate the mechanisms and evolutionary dynamics of these important mobile genetic elements. The project will also create educational...
