This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program, awarded to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, will support research to investigate how microbial social interactions within soil communities influence ecosystem-level carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling. The $982,308 award, effective April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2027, will combine molecular and computational approaches to study bacterial communication and division of labor...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $771,664 project grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. The 3-year grant, effective August 1, 2024, will fund research to systematically test community assembly and life history tradeoffs of microbial communities across the vertical gradient in a Panamanian tropical rainforest. Key project activities include: (1) multi-omic characterization of soil microbial diversity, (2)...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $293,033 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to examine how plant diversity impacts the resilience of forests to climate change. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The project will analyze field data, forest inventories,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research determining the mechanism that drive assembly in belowground microbial decomposer systems from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Most of...
This Project Grant award, totaling $414,955, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The primary awardee, Lehigh University, will use the funding to develop a model system to systematically test community assembly and life history tradeoffs of microbial communities across the vertical gradient in a Panamanian tropical rainforest. Key activities include: (1) multi-omic characterization of soil microbial diversity, (2) assessment...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $240,000 will fund research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes in the context of soil carbon allocation among mycorrhizal species under global change. Specifically, the grantee will examine how different plant and fungal species trade carbon for nutrients and how much carbon gets transferred to soils. Using isotopic labeling, the "carbon cost" of different...
This $439,396 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University from September 2022 to August 2025 to develop a model microbial consortium for interrogating organic matter decomposition and carbon cycling in coastal systems under changing environmental conditions. Researchers will integrate field, laboratory, and modeling work to examine the functional roles and responses to temperature variation of diverse...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Boise State University to study the mechanisms governing the formation and stability of species-rich microbial communities. The funding is provided through the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which supports activities that build capacity for science and engineering and broaden participation in research and education. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to characterize the environmental factors...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $291,182 Project Grant to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The grant, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a collaborative research project to evaluate the potential for engineered synthetic microbial communities to help plant hosts, such as duckweed, adapt to the impacts of...
