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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $270,000 in funding from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project aims to investigate how long-term soil warming affects the traits and gene expression of fungal-feeding nematodes (fungivores) and establish predictive links between nematode characteristics and decomposition, a key ecosystem function. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $188,491 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of New Mexico. This 5-year grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, will support collaborative research to investigate how microbial symbionts influence the health and stability of host plants, including grasses important for ranching and landscaping. The research team will use long-term demographic data from a unique...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $272,547 to Arkansas State University to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of snail-symbiont interactions. The project aims to uncover how environmental conditions shape the distribution and genetic diversity of freshwater invertebrate hosts and their parasites. Through field studies, outdoor experiments, and laboratory work, the research will explore how...
This Project Grant award of $116,555.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project at the University of Arizona to investigate biological invasions across spatial scales. The project aims to compile an open-access database of species invasion data from the National Ecological Observatory Network and analyze it using advanced statistical methods. The goal is to better understand the relative roles of propagule pressure, abiotic...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
This Project Grant award of $792,845 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to georeference, curate, and augment the largest global host-helminth (parasitic worm) database. The researchers at the University of South Carolina will clean and enhance this database, which currently contains over 250,000 interactions between helminth parasites and their hosts, to improve its accuracy and accessibility for researchers studying...
The University of Nebraska at Omaha received a two-year, $244,235 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: CONFINES: CONTINENTAL-SCALE STUDY OF THE ROLE OF FINE PARTICLES IN RIVERINE MATERIAL FLUXES" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The Biological Sciences program...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
