Mississippi State University was awarded a $487,275 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences federal grant 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. Specifically, from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025, Mississippi State University will test hypotheses...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $303,166 Project Grant to Michigan State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. The grant will fund an interdisciplinary team to study the migratory and adaptive potential of the partridge pea plant (Chamaecrista fasciculata) under climate change. The researchers will evaluate genetic differences and gene flow among plant populations to identify models...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $237,951 project grant to Mississippi State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on the Melanoplinae grasshoppers of North America and Mexico. The university will use the funding over the grant period of May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2023 to support taxonomic and systematic research on the subfamily of grasshoppers. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen...
This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
Mississippi State University received a $1.13 million project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on April 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PURSUIT: SAMPLING AMOEBOID PROTISTS AS A RESERVOIR OF UNKNOWN/UNDESCRIBED EUKARYOTIC DIVERSITY." The award will fund research through March 31, 2024 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), totaling $207,000, will fund research into the implications of hybridization on macroevolutionary and contemporary timescales in biology. The award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues. The grantee, located in Roosevelt, Utah,...
This $1,346,335 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to link genomic variation to complex floral trait adaptation across a species boundary. The project aims to leverage advanced genomic technologies to identify precise DNA differences that distinguish bee-pollinated and hummingbird-pollinated flowering plant species, and validate the resulting trait differences. The research will genetically...
This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $233,411 Project Grant to Haverford College under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to systematically investigate the genomic and molecular bases of floral trait variation among three closely related species of monkeyflowers that exhibit distinct pollination syndromes. The key objectives are to: 1) Generate and use near-isogenic lines to genetically dissect the quantitative...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $647,360 to Mississippi State University to investigate the evolutionary advantages of genetic recombination. The grant supports research from June 2022 through May 2027 that aims to integrate theoretical and empirical approaches to uncover how recombination influences evolution. As part of its goal to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national...
