The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The research project aims to characterize the diversity of viruses infecting native prairie sunflowers (Helianthus petiolaris) in western grasslands of North America. The research will use virus metagenomics, seed resurrection experiments, and field trials to explore the eco-evolutionary mechanisms governing virus...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 5-year collaborative research study on the role of microbial symbionts in influencing host plant fitness and population dynamics. The $188,491 award was made to the University of New Mexico to investigate how fluctuations in the benefits provided by fungal endophytes to their grass host plants vary over time, potentially stabilizing host populations and promoting genetic...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $343,925 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PURSUIT: SPECIES DIVERSITY AND EVOLUTION OF PARASITIC MICROFUNGI." The three-year award, issued on August 15, 2021 with a projected completion date of July 31, 2024, will fund basic research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Biological Sciences program aims to promote...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $384,882 to the University of Louisville to research the mechanisms determining spatial and temporal dynamics of infectious processes for Microbotryum complex phytopathogenic fungi and host immunity. The research aims to study genetic differences in plants and their responses to different fungal pathogens, with a focus on the Microbotryum violaceum complex of "anther...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research titled "From Genomes to Phenomes: The Rules of Life That Govern Bacterial-Fungal-Plant Symbioses." The grant falls 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 increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund research from October...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research on understanding the role of dietary toxins in shaping microbial community dynamics in the gut. The three-year award beginning January 1, 2024 will fund a postdoctoral fellowship conducting observational and experimental studies to better comprehend the interactions between gut microbiomes, dietary toxins like caffeine, and their insect host—the coffee berry...
This $1,122,664 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, aims to investigate how virus-derived genetic material can be integrated into host organisms, such as insects, and leveraged for beneficial traits. The research will focus on understanding the physiological and genetic patterns that enable eukaryotic organisms to acquire and utilize microbial traits, with a specific emphasis on the regulatory control of endogenous viruses....
This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
