- This three-year, $502,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will support the discovery and characterization of novel viral pathogens of Caenorhabditis elegans. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award aims to identify new viruses in wild-caught free-living nematodes that can infect C. elegans. West Chester University of Pennsylvania will conduct the work, with support provided to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania....
- This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
- This $609,982 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will support research into Antarctic marine nematodes and their host-associated microbiomes. Over a four-year period ending June 2026, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will conduct molecular analyses to better understand the biodiversity, evolution, and ecology of benthic meiofauna in Antarctic ecosystems. Researchers will use modern omics tools and classical taxonomy to determine if molecular...
- This $388,863 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project titled "PURSUIT: Aquatic Nematodes of the Nebraska Sandhills: Accelerating Taxonomic Discovery through Experiential Learning." The research aims to describe new species from three targeted nematode families, determine their spatial distributions across the Nebraska Sandhills region, and establish their taxonomic and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate the assembly, diversification, and coevolution of marine invertebrate microbiomes. The $590,677 award to New College of Florida aims to understand how and why particular microbes are hosted by marine invertebrates, the relationship between host diversity and microbiome diversity, and how these associations change over evolutionary time....
- This National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $127,687 to Warren Wilson College to conduct collaborative research on the role of plant-associated microbes in forest ecosystems from November 2022 to May 2025. The research will explore how tree diversity influences leaf and root microbiome communities, leaf chemistry, insect populations, and ultimately tree productivity. Researchers will leverage a 32-acre tree biodiversity experiment in...
- This Project Grant award of $434,472.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by Claremont McKenna College to develop novel computational methods for inferring microbial associations from microbiome data. The project aims to address challenges in determining the underlying covariance structure and modeling positive and negative interactions between microbial taxa. The resulting computational tools and algorithms will enable new...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $273,556 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Florida. The grant will support research to quantify the rate and types of mutations in two nematode species related to the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, in order to better understand the forces responsible for biological variation. A key component involves the collection of wild-caught nematode samples by local middle school...
