- This $706,641 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports collaborative research to investigate the role of plant-soil feedbacks in promoting the resilience of pinon woodlands in the western United States to severe drought conditions. The research involves field inoculations of pinon pine seedlings with beneficial soil microbes, laboratory assays, and greenhouse experiments to understand how plant-microbe...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $469,943 collaborative research project grant to the University of Oregon to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The 4-year project, with an award date of August 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029, will study how factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and...
- This National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $127,687 to Warren Wilson College to conduct collaborative research on the role of plant-associated microbes in forest ecosystems from November 2022 to May 2025. The research will explore how tree diversity influences leaf and root microbiome communities, leaf chemistry, insect populations, and ultimately tree productivity. Researchers will leverage a 32-acre tree biodiversity experiment in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by St. Catherine University to investigate the genes and mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $109,969 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the researchers to conduct experiments examining 18 legume species and 2 rhizobia strains across different nitrogen...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $880,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to The Trustees of Princeton University. The grant will fund a research project titled "Synthetic Symbiotes: Engineering Opine-Mediated Plant-Microbe Interactions" that explores a new strategy to improve colonization of beneficial bacteria in plants. The goal is to support a selective association between plants and beneficial bacteria, enabling more...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded the University of Wisconsin System a $345,312 project grant on June 15, 2025 to assess the drivers of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between plants and bacteria across North America. The project will investigate the diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and other microbes associating with plant roots using data from the NSF-sponsored National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Researchers...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $619,353 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System to investigate how stress-adapted microbial communities can enhance the tolerance of trees to environmental stresses like cold, heat, and drought. The 3-year project, running from December 1, 2025 to November 30, 2028, will conduct experiments to test whether microbes sourced from different climates can promote tree seedling...
- 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 $452,947 project grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research at Clark University from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to examine transgenerational effects as a mechanism for partner choice in the legume-rhizobia mutualism. Specifically, the project will study whether previous exposure to specific rhizobia strains and their efficacy informs subsequent generations of bearded clover host plants'...
