- This National Science Foundation project grant of $478,374 awarded to Lehigh University on January 1, 2023 will fund research exploring the genetic basis of dietary adaptation in mammals through convergent evolution. The research will rigorously define quantitative dietary phenotypes across mammals using multiple data sources. It will then identify genes and gene families underlying selection for different diets by combining genomic and dietary data. Researchers will demonstrate the cellular...
- The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $450,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. Penn State will reconstruct ancient human microbiomes and analyze shifts in oral microbial communities that accompanied changes in diet, environment, and human interactions over the past 1,000 years. The university will sequence ancient DNA from calcified dental plaque to identify...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $996,521 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The goal of the research project is to scale single-cell physiology studies to better understand community stability in the natural gut microbiome. As part of this work, Johns Hopkins University will expand its microbiome curriculum to additional middle schools in Baltimore County...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $197,909 to Texas A&M Agrilife Research and its parent organization The Texas A&M University System to conduct collaborative research on mammalian sucking lice host-parasite associations from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research will investigate the evolutionary history, genes, and physical traits of sucking lice, including human lice, to determine what host...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $251,539 Project Grant to Purdue University to support collaborative research on understanding the evolution and patterns of fragmented mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. The research will focus on three hypotheses related to mitochondrial genome fragmentation and will involve assembling and analyzing mitochondrial genomes and nuclear genes from 444 lice species. Key products and services to be delivered include phylogenetic analysis, tests for...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Extremes in the Interplay: The Development and Effects of Gut Microorganisms within Earth's Largest Terrestrial Species." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted in Fort Collins, Colorado through July 31, 2023. The $138k grant will fund research examining the gut microbiomes of large terrestrial species and how...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded The Trustees of The University of Pennsylvania $688,506 on April 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to conduct integrative genomic analyses of human evolution and complex traits in African populations. The research applies an integrative evolutionary genomics approach incorporating genomic, metabolomic, proteomic, microbiome, epigenomic, and transcriptomic data combined with detailed...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $1,180,492 to the University of Pennsylvania will fund research to investigate how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of plant defense traits. The project aims to determine how genetic variation in microbial symbionts influences heritable variation in host plant defense characteristics, such as leaf hairs that protect against insect damage. Additionally, the project will train...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $189,325 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to Arkansas State University to conduct research on the evolutionary patterns of fragmented mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. The 3-year project aims to understand how and why some species of lice have separated their mitochondrial genetic material onto multiple smaller chromosomes, a rare and potentially harmful trait in most other animals. The research...
- The University of Southern California was awarded a $1,859,227 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund collaborative research to define the rules governing microbiome interactions critical for providing key ecosystem functions using a model diazotroph community. The research is expected to advance scientific understanding of major problems in biology over a four year...
