The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,599,717 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study the coevolutionary dynamics of humans and maize (corn) in the Americas. The 3-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, will synthesize genetic, archaeological, and linguistic data to model how the cultivation and dispersal of maize enabled human population growth and cultural change, and how human activities shaped...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on inferring genetic admixture histories via mechanistic modeling in structured ancestral populations. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support the fellow's research to develop a method for understanding the genealogical history of genetically admixed populations, with a focus on...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $432,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The fellowship, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research at the University of California, Berkeley on characterizing distinct life history strategies in the monkeyflowers genus Mimulus. The fellow, Jesús Martínez-Gómez, will employ population genetics and genome sequencing methods to understand how...
This Project Grant award of $249,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship titled "The Genomics of Grass-Legume Interactions". The research aims to identify genes and pathways involved in the beneficial relationship between grasses and legumes in both prairie and crop systems. The project will leverage long-running prairie biodiversity experiments and a novel soybean-maize rotation experiment to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award, titled "EAGER: GENERATING DIPLOID GAMETES IN MAIZE", aims to develop novel methods to enable the inexpensive production of high-yielding hybrid maize seeds through asexual reproduction. The $279,922 award, effective May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2027, will be performed by the University of California, Davis. The project seeks to overcome the resource- and labor-intensive limitations of...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $432,000 will fund research and training on the interplay of ploidy and the distribution of fitness effects in Brassica crops. Awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship for Dr. Justin Conover from March 1, 2023 to February 28, 2026.
