This Project Grant award of $322,288 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project led by William Marsh Rice University. The project aims to study how microbial symbionts influence the health and population dynamics of their grass host species in response to environmental fluctuations. The research team will use a unique long-term dataset from a symbiont-removal experiment to build stochastic demographic models...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, will test how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of leaf defensive hairs in legume plants. The $1,180,492 award, effective from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, aims to determine how microbial symbionts contribute to host trait evolution, specifically examining the link between symbiont effects on host defense traits and the host resources they...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research titled "From Genomes to Phenomes: The Rules of Life That Govern Bacterial-Fungal-Plant Symbioses." The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund research from October...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $345,312 to the University of Arizona, was granted on June 15, 2024 to support a research project that will investigate the diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and other microbes associating with plant roots across the North American continent. The project will leverage NSF-sponsored ecological monitoring resources through the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to sample the...
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 National Science Foundation project grant award of $276,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 to support research investigating the effects of microbiome ecological and evolutionary origin on plant-microbiome coevolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will support a postdoctoral fellow's integrative research exploring how a microbiome's previous associations with plant hosts influence community adaptation and the...
This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
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...
