This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,346,335 in funding to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to study the genomic basis of complex floral trait differences between related plant species. The key products and services to be delivered through this 4-year project include: 1) Using advanced genomic technologies to identify the precise DNA differences that distinguish bee-pollinated and...
This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research at Utah State University in Logan, Utah to study the evolution of extended floral phenotypes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic research on major problems. This award will further those goals by...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 to support research examining the genetic, physiological, and environmental drivers of plant-pollinator niche dynamics across scales of biological organization.

This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
This $442,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports a 5-year field research study on the Scarlet Monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis), a plant species found across varied climates in western North America. The research aims to understand how different climates influence the survival, growth, and reproduction of this plant species, and how this affects population persistence in the face of climate change. The study involves...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers provides $501,356 in funding to Hope College from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The award supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the transcriptomics underlying environmentally-based plasticity in floral function in maples and other plant species. Specifically, the grantee will examine differences in gene expression and how the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant awarded to the University of Oregon will explore the genetic and genomic factors behind the repeated evolution of red flowers in the Mimulus aurantiacus plant species. The $399,116 grant, awarded on February 1, 2025, will run through January 31, 2028. The research aims to identify candidate mutations controlling this trait, map epistasis, and distinguish between linkage and pleiotropy. The project will have...
This $418,138 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in the yellow monkeyflower plant. The primary awardee is Scripps College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, CA. The research aims to increase understanding of how centromeres, which guide chromosomes during cell division, can selfishly gain unfair access to egg cells, disrupting fair...
