This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) will support collaborative research at the University of Iowa on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. The research aims to investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris, in order to better understand the evolution of sporangia across land plants and fill a knowledge gap about plant...
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 $1,346,558 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to develop computational tools and methods for analyzing genetic diversity in plants. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: TRTECH-PGR: FUNCTIONAL PANGENOMIC AND MACHINE LEARNING TOOLS FOR EXPLORING GENETIC DIVERSITY IN PLANTS", will create a software platform to help researchers identify genomic features that enable plant adaptation to climate change. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Montana on September 15, 2024, provides $687,039.00 to investigate the genetic and functional basis of rapid, touch-sensitive stigma movement in plants. The research aims to advance the fundamental understanding of plant reproductive signaling, sensing, and movement mechanisms, which are central to global ecology and food production. The key products and services delivered through...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant will provide $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms governing the remarkable adaptability of aquatic plants. The research aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of heterophylly (the ability to produce different leaf forms) and facultative CAM photosynthesis in the model plant Littorella uniflora. The project will employ...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $270,241 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College on June 1, 2025. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RESEARCH-PGR: A GENOME-WIDE APPROACH TO CHARACTERIZE EVOLUTIONARILY CONSERVED PLANT SIGNALING MODULES THAT UNDERLIE ORGAN DEVELOPMENT", will fund research to investigate how small molecules made by plants orchestrate organ formation. The project will leverage the non-seed model plant...
This federal Project Grant award of $340,546 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project led by the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) to investigate how nitrogen availability influences the physiology, growth, and nitrogen cycling of tropical bromeliads. The project will test the connections between nitrogen limitation, photosynthetic pathways, and functional traits in these diverse epiphytic plants. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $272,718 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a research project to study the patterns and drivers of plant reproduction, known as mast seeding. The project aims to understand how belowground plant traits and mycorrhizal associations influence the temporal variability in seed production observed globally across different plant species and environmental conditions. The research will leverage...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $432,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate genome fractionation in land plants through comparative genomics research.
