This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000.00, to be carried out from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research will focus on quantifying the diversity and climate change response in the Chamaecrista fasciculata-rhizobial symbiosis. The project will leverage the partridge pea plant and its associated rhizobial bacteria to evaluate how climate change impacts plant-microbial interactions, with the goal of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2026. The fellowship supports research and training under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program has awarded a $119,585 Project Grant to Loyola University of Chicago to conduct research on the genomic basis of plant-microbiome interactions in legumes. The 5-year grant, starting on March 1, 2025, aims to identify the genetic mechanisms that control plant-microbiome interactions in the model legume Medicago truncatula. The project will leverage forward and reverse genetic approaches to investigate the role of...
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 $138,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in plant microbiomes under global change. The fellow will test new theory on plant-microbe associations and apply a tradeoff framework analyzing microbial yield,...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025.
