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) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to develop advanced computational tools and methods for analyzing genetic diversity in plants, particularly as a means to understand and address the impacts of climate change. With total funding of $1,346,558 over a 4-year period from October 2024 to September 2028, the project will be conducted by the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR), a non-profit research institute in...
This award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology supports a research project at Purdue University to investigate the genetic basis of how organisms adapt to their environment, including the role of non-additive genetic effects. The $198,915 Project Grant, awarded on September 15, 2023, will fund research using a unique set of genetic resources to quantify the contribution of non-additive effects on survival and seed production in the model organism...
Colorado State University will provide research, education, and outreach services under a $622,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and aims to facilitate the prediction and validation of plant enzyme functions through three key activities. First, CSU will deposit published plant enzyme activities into public databases to support computational function...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $953,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop innovative data processing and advanced visualization tools for optimizing maize canopy architecture. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of maize plants that can simulate real plant growth and response to the environment. This will allow researchers to experiment with different plant traits and...
This $699,870 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of simplified and highly efficient genetic modification technologies for economically important grasses and cereal crops. The "PLANTTRANSFORM: SMART GRASS" project aims to overcome the current constraint in the plant science research community regarding the capacity to genetically modify major crop plants. The award establishes a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will support collaborative research at Kansas State University to identify the genetic basis of plant regeneration, specifically focusing on maize. The $400,000 award will fund the project from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027. The primary goal is to better understand the genetic mechanisms controlling plant cell proliferation and growth, which are critical for successful...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, valued at $726,093 and spanning from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, is funding research by the University of Washington to develop programmable and tunable regulatory elements for predictive gene expression in plants. The goals are to: Create a large repertoire of synthetic regulatory elements using massively parallel reporter assays, machine learning, and in silico evolution. Precisely control gene...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program grant awarded to Cornell University provides $200,000 in funding from April 15, 2025 to March 31, 2027 to develop tools and infrastructure that will enable researchers to advance the understanding of human genetics and improve the accuracy of population genetic studies. The key goals are to: 1) Optimize the Genotype Representation Graph (GRG) data structure for modern parallel computing architectures, particularly...
This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Colorado State University to investigate the effects of holoparasitism on plant organellar translation and tRNA metabolism. The research will analyze how the loss of photosynthesis and parasitic lifestyle of holoparasitic plants impacts the bacterial-like translation machinery in plant mitochondria and...
