- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $1,180,492 to the University of Pennsylvania will fund research to investigate how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of plant defense traits. The project aims to determine how genetic variation in microbial symbionts influences heritable variation in host plant defense characteristics, such as leaf hairs that protect against insect damage. Additionally, the project will train...
- This federal Project Grant award of $448,286.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Williams College to understand how plants produce, recognize, and interact with anthranilates - a group of under-investigated secondary metabolites that have been shown to deter herbivores and decrease microbial infections in plants. The research aims to advance the understanding of plant defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens,...

The research aims to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $981,074 project grant to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on August 15, 2024. The grant, titled "DISES: Socioecological Outcomes of Restoration in Forest-Grassland Ecosystems," investigates how and why restoration programs impact social and environmental systems in forest-grassland ecosystems. The research employs multiple methods, including remote sensing, field-based ecological...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $1,684,000 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research by The Pennsylvania State University on host-specific response and adaptation in the parasitic agricultural pest, Cuscuta (commonly known as dodder). The key research aims are to: 1) profile the diversity of trans-species microRNAs across Cuscuta populations and identify their host mRNA targets, 2) resequence...
- This $844,511 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to investigate the ecological-evolutionary dynamics of pea aphids and their parasitoid wasp predator Aphidius ervi. The research aims to understand how the rapid evolution of the agricultural pest pea aphid, which can develop resistance to its natural predators, impacts the maintenance of biodiversity and the ability to control pests...
- This $1,714,712 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to critically evaluate the ecological and functional drivers of polyploid establishment in plants. The project aims to use population-level experiments with a model aquatic species under varied stresses to elucidate the mechanisms that allow polyploid species to thrive, especially in stressful habitats. The research will contribute to understanding the formative...
