This Project Grant award from the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program, will support research to uncover the evolutionary mechanisms behind insect-induced plant galls. The total funding amount is $478,413.00, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The research will focus on the galling system of cynipid wasps on live oaks, which allows for natural...
This federal Project Grant award of $280,113 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study how gall-forming insects evade parasitic wasps and how the parasites adapt to their hosts. The research team from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, including a postdoctoral scholar, three graduate students, and several undergraduates, will document the parasitic wasps that attack hundreds of oak gall insect...
The University of New Mexico was awarded a $307,495 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF PLANT-SOIL FEEDBACKS: CONSEQUENCES FOR SHRUB-GRASS INTERACTIONS IN A DRYLAND ECOTONE" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The four-year award beginning June 1, 2021 will fund research to increase scientific understanding of major problems...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $188,491 to the University of New Mexico to conduct a collaborative research project on host-microbe symbiosis. The 5-year study will explore how the effects of microbial symbionts on their host plants fluctuate in response to environmental changes, and how this may promote plant population stability and genetic diversity. The project will leverage a unique long-term experiment tracking...

The grant funds collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MIM: THE IMPACT OF THE FUNGAL MICROBIOME IN METAL TOLERANCE AND SOIL BIOGEOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS." The research aims to advance understanding of major...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $265,065 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW DO GALL-FORMING INSECTS ESCAPE DIVERSE AND EVOLVING CLADES OF PARASITIC WASPS - AND HOW DO PARASITES CATCH UP?", will study the diversity and evolutionary histories of oak gall wasps and their parasitic wasp predators. The research will document the parasitic wasps that...
The University of New Mexico received a $687,031 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The award is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research into "The Third Domain of T Cells: The Biology of Gamma Mu T Cells in Non-Eutherian Mammals" from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. Through this funding, researchers at the University of New Mexico will investigate the biology of gamma mu T cells...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
