This $1,534,583 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) funds the Polyploidy Integration and Innovation Institute. The institute will conduct coordinated research across multiple model organisms, including yeast, Arabidopsis, duckweed, Chlamydomonas, and fruit flies, to study the underlying rules and impacts of polyploidy - the presence of three or more sets of chromosomes within a cell. Key activities include parallel experiments to...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the ecological implications of whole genome duplication in plants. The $240,000 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable the fellow to develop new phylogenetic comparative methods to understand how whole-genome duplication impacts climatic niche dynamics. The research will leverage existing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant will provide $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms governing the remarkable adaptability of aquatic plants. The research aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of heterophylly (the ability to produce different leaf forms) and facultative CAM photosynthesis in the model plant Littorella uniflora. The project will employ...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Investigating How Neopolyploidy Affects the Core Microbiome and How the Extended Phenotype Can Facilitate Ecological Establishment." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted in Syracuse, NY through July 31, 2023. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Infrastructure division will fund $240,000 to support research investigating the effects of polyploidy on developmental and morphological evolution in salamanders. The fellowship awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will enable the grantee to study unique polyploid salamander lineages to better understand how whole genome duplications shape development and phenotype across organ systems....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. Led by the New York Botanical Garden, this interdisciplinary project will investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris. The research aims to elucidate the core genetic network underlying sporangium...
This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will examine the origin and genetics of four rare plant species in the California Floristic Province. The project, led by Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation (also known as HSU Foundation), aims to test the phylogenetic and genetic predictions of the "budding speciation" process, which is hypothesized to be a primary driver of rare plant diversity in the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research activities from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funding will enable the grantee to conduct research at the University of Pittsburgh aimed at furthering understanding of the evolution of gene regulatory networks through empirical and theoretical approaches. The Biological Sciences program seeks to advance the field and strengthen the national...
