This $164,793 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program aims to discover microbial solutions that promote soil health in drylands under climate change. The research activities focus on characterizing the climate resistance of common dryland microbe species, assembling microbial communities that maximize resistance to heat and drought, and field-testing the application of climate-ready microbial assemblages to reverse long-term soil...
This Project Grant award of $533,020 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between ecologists and microbiologists at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to study the role of soil microbes in improving the resistance of drylands to climate change-driven soil degradation. The key research activities include: 1) characterizing the heat and drought resistance of common dryland microbe species, 2) discovering how to...
This $706,641 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research on integrating plant-soil feedback mechanisms with resilience theory to understand and mitigate the impacts of severe drought on pinon-juniper woodlands in the western United States. The project tests the hypothesis that beneficial soil microbes, such as ectomycorrhizal fungi, are critical for pinon pine seedling recruitment and survival...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $202,001 to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to investigate plant-soil feedbacks that could promote the resilience of pinon-juniper woodlands to severe drought in the western United States. The research project aims to determine if beneficial soil microbes can help pinon pine seedlings survive and grow under experimental drought conditions. Key research activities include field...
This $763,538 federal Project Grant was awarded to the University of Chicago on July 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project aims to understand the mechanistic basis of functional robustness in the soil microbiome, connecting detailed microbial processes to broader ecological and environmental outcomes like soil fertility and greenhouse gas emissions. The research objectives include elucidating how soil microbiomes respond to...
This Project Grant award, totaling $414,955, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The primary awardee, Lehigh University, will use the funding to develop a model system to systematically test community assembly and life history tradeoffs of microbial communities across the vertical gradient in a Panamanian tropical rainforest. Key activities include: (1) multi-omic characterization of soil microbial diversity, (2) assessment...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $183,600 Project Grant to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study how climate change affects soil fungi. The 3-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, supports research to develop a trait-based framework for understanding and predicting fungal community responses to global change drivers. The project has three main objectives: 1) create a trait-based framework using advanced...
This $846,562 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program supports research at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to assess the impacts of climate change and land use on soil microbiomes, carbon storage, and plant productivity in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. The 3-year study will use novel microbiome analyses and greenhouse experiments to quantify the genomic and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program, awarded to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, will support research to investigate how microbial social interactions within soil communities influence ecosystem-level carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling. The $982,308 award, effective April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2027, will combine molecular and computational approaches to study bacterial communication and division of labor...
