This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $233,411 Project Grant to Haverford College under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to systematically investigate the genomic and molecular bases of floral trait variation among three closely related species of monkeyflowers that exhibit distinct pollination syndromes. The key objectives are to: 1) Generate and use near-isogenic lines to genetically dissect the quantitative...
This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $309,216 Project Grant to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DIGITIZATION TCN: EXTENDING ANTHOPHILA RESEARCH THROUGH IMAGE AND TRAIT DIGITIZATION (BIG-BEE)" project. The three-year project aims to advance biological sciences research through the digitization of images and trait data of bee specimens housed in natural...
This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 to support research examining the genetic, physiological, and environmental drivers of plant-pollinator niche dynamics across scales of biological organization. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of...
This federal Project Grant award of $474,926 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project focused on the evolutionary and functional genomics of Hawaiian Bidens plants. The research aims to determine the genetic basis of phenotypic trait diversification in this rapid adaptive radiation, advancing the understanding of what drives the evolution of new species. The project will generate new genome assemblies and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $249,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 to support research and training on elucidating the cellular and molecular dynamics behind nectary development in Aquilegia.
