The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $806,156 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The award, effective March 15, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will support research to uncover the mechanisms and repeatability of speciation with gene flow in dune sunflowers. The project will explore how and why assortative mating evolves between sunflower ecotypes, whether parallel evolution leads to parallel...
This $636,422 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research comparing the genomics of capitulum development across sunflower, daisy and related plant lineages. Over a four-year period from November 2022 to October 2026, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will generate high-quality genomes and curated gene expression data for multiple plant species. Researchers will use comparative genomic and evolutionary analyses...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,611 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to support research into the mechanisms of altitudinal range expansion by plant species under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino will analyze historical and contemporary plant samples to elucidate patterns of adaptation that have allowed the model species Arabidopsis...
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...
This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) in Santa Fe, NM, provides $1,346,558 over 4 years to develop a modular software tool that will enable the identification of genetic diversity in plants critical for climate adaptation. The project aims to create computational methods and machine learning algorithms that can analyze pangenomes, functional genomic data, and phenotypic data to connect...
This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program aims to enhance the management of Phomopsis stem canker, a disease that decreases sunflower yields in the Midwest. The key objectives are to: (1) determine the prevalence of fungicide-resistant strains causing the disease, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of alternative fungicides, and (3) develop extension tools to help farmers and...
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $622,375 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. Through this award, UCSD will conduct collaborative research to develop integrated mechanistic predictions of ecological and evolutionary responses to increasing aridity across the range of the iconic California poppy plant species. UCSD researchers will employ multiple approaches including field...
This Project Grant award, totaling $738,601, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The goal of the grant is to increase crop yield, specifically in soybeans, under conditions of heat stress and drought by enhancing the plants' ability to cool their reproductive organs. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting an integrated analysis of soybean plants subjected to various stress conditions, focusing on...
