This $525,181 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at North Carolina State University to explore harnessing soil microbes to improve soil supporting civil infrastructure. The university will identify active microbial communities in relevant soil microcosms and manipulate microcosm geochemistry to induce byproducts like mineral precipitation or gas generation. An integrated meta-omics approach will characterize microbial...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $360,222 to Georgia Tech Research Corp to advance novel biological treatment strategies that leverage comammox and anammox bacteria for sustainable nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment. The research objectives include evaluating the synergy between these specialized bacteria, determining the impact of dissolved oxygen on nitrite provision for anammox bacteria, and conducting pilot-scale...

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), is funding a research project to develop "smart controlled release fertilizers" (SCRFs). The $591,500 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, supports Georgia Tech Research Corp's efforts to create a nanohybrid coating for fertilizer pellets that can adjust nutrient release based on real-time crop...
This Project Grant award of $274,457.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) is for the development of a novel nitrogen fertilizer compound called "caged urea" by Agtec Innovations, Inc. The key objective is to create an eco-friendly, intelligent release nitrogen fertilizer that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution associated with traditional nitrogen fertilizers, while also potentially increasing...
This $1,453,830 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to North Carolina State University. The award aims to implement novel genetic engineering techniques to discover genes that can enable microbes to survive longer on plant roots, which is critical for using these microbes to improve agricultural crop growth and productivity. Key research efforts include generating functional metagenomic libraries to explore the effects of...
This $249,999 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of nano-cellulose enabled bio-nanofertilizers for agriculture at Stony Brook University from February 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023. The goal is to significantly reduce nitrogen fertilizer usage and associated greenhouse gas emissions through a new nitration-oxidation process that extracts nano-cellulose directly from non-woody biomass with lower chemical and energy needs. Researchers will demonstrate scaling up this...
