- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training focused on investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes of lichen holobionts (the lichen organism and its associated microbiome) in response to climate change. The key objectives are to:...
- This Project Grant award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CREATING SYNTHETIC LICHEN TO ELUCIDATE HOW MORPHOLOGY IMPACTS MUTUALISTIC EXCHANGES IN MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES", was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The $751,296 award to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division will fund a 3-year research project to engineer a synthetic lichen system using cyanobacteria and fungi. This work aims to provide novel...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $273,148 to Michigan State University (MSU) to create a synthetic lichen model using genetically engineered cyanobacteria and fungi. The goal is to elucidate how the physical structure and morphology of microbial communities impact their capacity for metabolic exchanges and mutualistic relationships. The synthetic lichen platform will serve as a testbed to study symbiosis and...
- This $468,143 National Science Foundation project grant supports a collaborative research effort to build a robust phylogenetic framework of the hyper-diverse flowering plant subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae). Led by The Research Foundation for The State University of New York, the three-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will utilize next-generation DNA sequencing approaches involving targeted enrichment, transcriptomics, and broad taxonomic sampling. The research team will circumscribe major...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) award of $135,492, granted on August 1, 2026, supports a collaborative research project to rescue, preserve, and digitize the Guccion Biorepository—an at-risk collection of approximately 68,000 plant and fungi specimens from the mid-Atlantic region (1960-2000). The primary deliverable is the rapid dissemination and cataloging of physical specimens and digital records across a...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) on July 15, 2025, supports a collaborative research initiative totaling $411,079 through June 30, 2030. The primary deliverable is a multi-scale, multi-proxy investigation examining how marine nutrient availability during the Tonian Period (1000-720 million years ago) may have driven eukaryotic diversification and ecosystem transformation. The...
