This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports a collaborative research project to evaluate innate immune responses across vertebrate evolution, with a focus on the CD300 protein family. The $458,015 award to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte aims to map the molecular and functional diversification of CD300 orthologs and paralogs, and experimentally test ancestral CD300 functions. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $645,180 to North Carolina State University to conduct a collaborative research project titled "OSIB: A Multi-Omic Evaluation of Innate Immune Responses Across Vertebrate Evolution." The research aims to investigate the evolutionary history and functional diversification of the CD300 gene family, which encodes proteins playing crucial roles in immune function and disease...
This $361,227 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to investigate how insect immune systems interact with beneficial and pathogenic microbes across different aphid host species. The project, conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, aims to use transcriptome sequencing and immune assays to test the hypothesis that host immune suppression is a key mechanism enabling...
The National Science Foundation awarded $665,786 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from March 2023 through February 2027. The project aims to advance understanding of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their potential for epigenetic regulation through rational design and engineering of synthetic lncRNAs. Researchers will define the minimal features required for large-scale silencing mediated by lncRNAs, building...

The grant period runs from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences....
The National Science Foundation awarded a $817,970 project grant to The University of North Carolina at Charlotte under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for a three-year period from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024. The grant will support research studying the evolution of the antiviral pathway in a cnidarian model interacting with diverse viral communities. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $499,622 to North Carolina State University to develop computational models and analyze genomic data from over 60 species. The researchers will improve existing evolutionary modeling software to infer gene co-evolution networks from comparative genomics of more than a dozen independent polyploidy events. They will identify gene pairs where differences in copy number are evolutionarily...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award, valued at $570,122.00 and effective September 1, 2024, supports a collaborative research effort to investigate innate immune responses in diverse eukaryotic organisms that consume bacteria. The project brings together a cross-disciplinary team of researchers to study innate immunity in sponges, choanoflagellates, and amoebae, which span the evolutionary transition between multicellular animals and their...
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a five-year, $2,452,563 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study species interactions and seasonal transmission of fungal diseases in plant populations. Through experimental testing under field conditions, the university aims to understand how pathogen transmission can be influenced by within-host interactions and varying environmental conditions. It will manipulate disease...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $372,060 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Brooklyn College will support research comparing the immune system structure, function, and memory in animal species with and without intact adaptive immune systems. The 3-year project aims to use single-cell RNA sequencing, immunization experiments, and pathogen exposure to better understand the evolutionary...
