This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how the two genetically distinct nuclei within dikaryotic fungal cells coordinate gene expression. The $270,000 award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, will support research to measure the relative contributions of individual nuclei to transcription under different genetic...
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 from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $502,161 to Appalachian State University to investigate the impacts of evolutionary novelty on generalist species. Specifically, the award will fund research examining toxin tolerance in Drosophila tripunctata fruit flies that use diverse mushrooms and fruits as hosts. The university will test hypotheses about how toxin tolerance...
The University of Utah was awarded a three-year, $755,156 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 research from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024 to resolve the phylogeny and uncover drivers of speciation in the evolutionary radiation of porcini mushrooms (Boletaceae). As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal to promote advancement in the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 provides funding to Clue Genetics Inc. for the development of a fungi-focused metabologenomics platform for natural product discovery. The key products and services to be delivered under this 1-year Phase I SBIR project include: Annotating biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from 200 genomes selected from a diverse set of bioactive fungi to uncover new drugs,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training focused on investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes of lichen holobionts (the lichen organism and its associated microbiome) in response to climate change. The key objectives are to:...
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 conduct research on the mechanisms and dynamics of infectious processes involving the Microbotryum complex of phytopathogenic fungi. The research will explore genetic differences in plants and their responses to various fungal pathogens, with implications for understanding plant susceptibility and disease resistance. The project will...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Functional Biogeography of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi: Elucidating Cross-Scale Mechanisms that Inform Global Models" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024.
