This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant of $491,037 awarded to The Colorado College will investigate how nitrogen availability influences photosynthesis, growth, and nitrogen cycling in diverse Neotropical bromeliad plants. The 3-year project will conduct interdisciplinary research combining experimental studies, morphology, ecophysiology, ecology, and genomics to understand how nitrogen scarcity impacts bromeliad physiology, resource...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $191,371 Project Grant to the University of Florida to conduct research on the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between plants and bacteria. This grant is funded through the NSF Division of Biological Sciences and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) provide a data-intensive framework to understand how plants and bacteria form nitrogen-fixing partnerships and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Michigan State University to investigate the metabolic pathways that plants use to produce diverse aromatic compounds from carbon fixed during photosynthesis. The $823,311 award, effective June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, aims to quantify carbon fluxes through the Calvin-Benson cycle and parallel shikimate and non-shikimate biosynthetic pathways that lead to aromatic...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $2,999,552 to the University of Nevada, Reno to quantify the phytochemical landscape of indigenous communities through knowledge integration, interaction diversity genomics, and network dynamics from 2022-2026. Key products include the development of an accessible website compiling edited video interviews with Kichwa and Waorani elders on plant-animal networks and interspecies...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $1,076,689 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on the metabolic pathways that convert carbon fixed by photosynthesis into aromatic amino acids and other aromatic compounds in plants. The project aims to quantify carbon fluxes through the Calvin-Benson cycle, shikimate pathway, and alternative "non-shikimate" pathways, as well as investigate how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program project grant to Yale University is focused on advancing understanding of stomatal regulation and photosynthesis in plants. The $258,877 award, running from February 2024 to January 2027, will employ a new laser-based technique to directly measure guard cell turgor pressure and elucidate the mechanisms controlling stomatal opening and closing across diverse plant lineages. This research aims to reveal fundamental biophysical...
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...
This $812,787 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a collaborative research initiative titled "MRA: PANAM PEAT: Understanding Water and Carbon Cycling Across the Pan-American Tropical Peatland Biome." The project, led by the University of Nevada, Reno, aims to gain new insights into the structure and function of tropical peatlands across the Americas, from 20 degrees North to 20 degrees South. The...
This $288,720 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project to investigate how increased nutrient availability during the Tonian period (1000-720 million years ago) may have driven the diversification and ecological rise of eukaryotes, transforming the marine ecosystem. Led by the University of New Mexico, the project integrates paleontological, geochemical, sedimentological, and stratigraphic data...
