Project Grant 2322154
- Colorado State University will provide research, education, and outreach services under a $622,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and aims to facilitate the prediction and validation of plant enzyme functions through three key activities. First, CSU will deposit published plant enzyme activities into public databases to support computational function...
- This $332,924 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Nebraska from August 2022 to July 2025 investigating convergent evolution of mitochondrial cytochrome c maturation systems in plant and algal species. The research will use molecular biology, genetics, plant growth assays, and computational analysis to study numerous pathway switches and assess the mechanisms and evolutionary importance when there is...
- This Project Grant award of $520,720 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to develop new tools for incorporating emerging models of genetics into genetic mapping, prediction, and simulation. The research, conducted by Colorado State University, aims to better integrate molecular and cellular biology knowledge into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype...
- This $841,120 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Colorado State University to investigate the physiology, phenology, and phylogeny of grass species. The research aims to develop improved mechanistic models for predicting how grass distributions may respond to changing environmental conditions, such as rising temperatures and precipitation patterns. Specifically, the project will use...
- This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant of $491,037 awarded to The Colorado College will investigate how nitrogen availability influences photosynthesis, growth, and nitrogen cycling in diverse Neotropical bromeliad plants. The 3-year project will conduct interdisciplinary research combining experimental studies, morphology, ecophysiology, ecology, and genomics to understand how nitrogen scarcity impacts bromeliad physiology, resource...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $436,126 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The award supports research at Colorado State University-Pueblo, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, to study the structure and function of Cajal bodies, which are biomolecular condensates within plant cell nuclei. The primary research objectives are to investigate how Cajal bodies shape plant cell development and respond to biotic stresses, as...
- This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to the University of California, Santa Barbara on January 1, 2025 for $534,635.00, will fund research to investigate how whole genome duplication events in plants affect cellular energy production. The research seeks to understand the genetic underpinnings of plant energy production, which is complicated by the distribution of energy-related genes across the nucleus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, as...
This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Colorado State University to investigate the effects of holoparasitism on plant organellar translation and tRNA metabolism. The research will analyze how the loss of photosynthesis and parasitic lifestyle of holoparasitic plants impacts the bacterial-like translation machinery in plant mitochondria and chloroplasts. This work will provide insights into how eukaryotic components can functionally replace lost bacterial-derived machinery over evolutionary timescales, as well as the final steps of organellar genome integration. The project will also support training and career development opportunities in bioinformatics, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and evolutionary biology. The award period is from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026.
