This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) received a $389,525 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a 5-year research project titled "CAREER: Mechanisms and Consequences of Epigenome-Recruited DNA Repair Systems in Plants." The project aims to study newly discovered DNA repair mechanisms in plants that could help protect critical genomic regions from harmful mutations. Researchers will leverage advanced...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $454,886 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The grant funds collaborative research to study the timescale-dependent effects of transient dynamics in plant-pollinator networks. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of California, Davis a $981,302 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on May 15, 2022 to complete the project by April 30, 2026. The grant will support research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. Specifically, the university researchers will investigate the roles of candidate proteins...
The University of California, Davis was awarded a $582,412 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support research titled "INTBIO COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH FOR PROJECTING INSECT RESPONSES TO A RAPIDLY CHANGING CLIMATE" to be conducted at the university's Davis, California campus....
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year $299,986 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from June 2023 to May 2025. The grant will support development of a new method to measure genome-wide targeting of histone readers, proteins that bind histone modifications to translate epigenetic codes into biological processes. If successful, the tool could help decipher how histones orchestrate genome and organism...
The University of California, Davis was awarded a three-year, $675,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support research examining sulfated peptides that can facilitate pathogen virulence. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic biological research. This award will allow UC Davis researchers to study molecular mimics that...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) in the amount of $112,078 effective October 1, 2024. The grant will support the training of 27 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or underrepresented groups, over the summers of 2025-2027. Students will conduct individual research projects co-mentored by UC Davis faculty, graduate students, and...
