This $418,138 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in the yellow monkeyflower plant. The primary awardee is Scripps College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, CA. The research aims to increase understanding of how centromeres, which guide chromosomes during cell division, can selfishly gain unfair access to egg cells, disrupting fair...
This $442,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports a 5-year field research study on the Scarlet Monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis), a plant species found across varied climates in western North America. The research aims to understand how different climates influence the survival, growth, and reproduction of this plant species, and how this affects population persistence in the face of climate change. The study involves...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports research investigating the genomic consequences of hybridization in the Mimulus guttatus complex from June 2023 through May 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables a postdoctoral research fellowship for integrative research on the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes during speciation. The fellow will use genomic analyses and greenhouse crosses to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $279,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship for Eleanore J. Ritter at the University of Georgia to investigate the evolutionary processes driving the origin and persistence of self-fertilization in Mimulus monkeyflower species. The research aims to clarify the genetic, ecological, and environmental factors shaping variation in self-fertilization rates in outcrossing Mimulus species, as well as...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Montana on September 15, 2024, provides $687,039.00 to investigate the genetic and functional basis of rapid, touch-sensitive stigma movement in plants. The research aims to advance the fundamental understanding of plant reproductive signaling, sensing, and movement mechanisms, which are central to global ecology and food production. The key products and services delivered through...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes, with a focus on understanding how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly a satellite repeat on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, influence...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $399,116 to the University of Oregon to explore the genetic and genomic factors underlying the repeated evolution of red flowers in the Mimulus aurantiacus plant species. The research aims to identify candidate mutations controlling this trait, map epistasis and its impact on selection efficacy, and distinguish between linkage and pleiotropy as causes for genetic correlations with...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, totaling $1,177,451, will support research characterizing rates and patterns of mutation and recombination in Old and New World monkeys. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award to Arizona State University from February 2021 through January 2026 will promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
This $178,638 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette from November 2022 through October 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to characterize genetic and organismal adaptations to drought resistance in the common monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) to inform land management strategies under changing climates. Researchers will study genetic variants and traits that helped populations...
