This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, totaling $122,698, will fund research into the effects of climate change on sex ratios in dioecious plant populations. The award was made on September 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research strengthening the scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will conduct collaborative research with scientists in China...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
This $949,431 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to investigate how the timing of seasonal life cycles influences interactions among multiple species, especially indirect effects involving shared predators or resources. The project will integrate experiments studying amphibian pond communities with theoretical models to determine how variation in the sequence and spacing of species' phenologies...
This $322,288 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports a collaborative research project at William Marsh Rice University in Houston, Texas. The project aims to investigate how microbial symbionts (such as fungi in grasses) influence the health and stability of their host organisms over long-term environmental fluctuations. Using a unique 15-year dataset from a symbiont removal experiment, the researchers will develop...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
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 $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
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 $216,000 Project Grant to support the research project "Leveraging Frequent Monoicy-Dioicy Transitions in Hornworts to Understand the Rules of Sex Determination" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. This award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, totaling $254,466, will fund collaborative research between the United States and China from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The research is being conducted under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), which supports increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major biological problems.

Specifically, the award will support a comparative study of the functional divergence between female and male dioecious plant populations in Sichuan Province, China and Texas, USA. The research team will examine how climate change may differentially impact females and males, potentially shifting population sex ratios. They will then evaluate the cascading effects of such climate-induced sex ratio changes on population viability, host-associated biodiversity, and ecosystem functions like carbon and nitrogen cycling. Key products and services include the development of molecular markers, DNA barcoding technologies, and assays to conduct this research. William Marsh Rice University is the awardee and will oversee the project.
