This $127,323 five-year Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program (CFDA 47.049) to The Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services Division. The grant will fund research to develop a theoretical framework for understanding emergent simplicity in high-diversity microbial ecosystems, including validating the methodology in a model complex ecosystem (agricultural soil). The project integrates educational activities to rebrand the physics major as the intellectual home for students passionate about working with quantitative real-world data, through curriculum changes and high school outreach. No subawards are planned under this grant.
