This $230,552 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support the University of Maine System in developing machine learning algorithms to extract morphological trait measurements from National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) beetle specimens. The project aims to automate the measurement of beetle traits and improve understanding of how these traits relate to beetle diversity across NEON sites. Additionally,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides funding of $993,190 to the University of Maine System to conduct research focused on engineering stable, transmissible plant minichromosomes for synthetic biology applications. The project, titled "NSF-DBT: PLANTSYNBIO: PLANT MINICHROMOSOME ENGINEERING", aims to develop methods that expand the limits of plant minichromosome size, structure, and composition to create a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $953,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop innovative data processing and advanced visualization tools for optimizing maize canopy architecture. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of maize plants that can simulate real plant growth and response to the environment. This will allow researchers to experiment with different plant traits and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $912,952 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the diversity, distribution, and resilience of North American plants. The primary objectives are to: 1) Assemble detailed historical and current data on trait diversity and endemism of North American plants to understand the long-term eco-evolutionary drivers of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award in the amount of $446,865 to the University of Denver provides funding for a collaborative research project to integrate leaf metabolomics and tree demographic models to understand the impacts of climate change on forests in the Rocky Mountains and Smoky Mountains. The project aims to develop early-warning markers of tree mortality risk and provide accurate forecasts of forest health under changing...
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 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...
