This $788,505 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support research into seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. The grant was awarded to the University of South Florida on March 1, 2023 for a four-year period ending February 28, 2027. The grant will fund collaborative research between the University of South Florida, University of Illinois, Utah State University, and University of Arizona to better understand how seed chemistry influences...
This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
The University of Illinois was awarded a $166,372 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to support collaborative research on seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. The four-year award, effective March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2027, will fund research and training under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the grant will support research investigating how seed chemistry...
This $1,083,670 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research on the spatiotemporal dynamics of plant-mycorrhizal fungal symbioses across the eastern United States. The primary awardee, the University of Tennessee, will investigate how changing global conditions impact the interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, which provide critical nutrient and water exchange. The research will examine spatial and temporal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of New Mexico, is supporting a long-term study on the symbiotic relationship between grasses and their fungal microbes. The $188,491 grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, is testing the hypothesis that the effects of microbial symbionts on their host plants fluctuate annually, providing beneficial impacts in stressful years but neutral or costly effects in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $838,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms of functional diversity maintenance in tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms. The project, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will test the hypothesis that trees maintain a diverse portfolio of fungal partners as a form of "bet-hedging" to adapt to environmental...
This $549,948 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research conducted by the University of California, Berkeley to study the metabolites and nutrient dynamics of mutualistic fungi that form symbiotic relationships with loblolly pine trees. The key objectives are to: Identify the bioactive compounds made by the fungi that are used to defend against competitors, and determine the cost of producing these compounds....
The Smithsonian Institution received a three-year, $458,972 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to conduct collaborative research on the effects of pathogen resistance gene sharing on tropical tree transmission and growth in Panama. Funded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to advance understanding of major biological issues by investigating how the distribution of resistance gene alleles among tropical tree populations impacts...
