- This $955,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at Clark University to study the diversity, evolution, and origin of secondary metabolism in commensal microscopic filamentous fungi. The key research activities include: Reconstructing the evolutionary relationships among Basidiobolus fungal species. Exploring how secondary metabolite genes vary across Basidiobolus species and testing whether some genes were acquired...
- This $769,792 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska. The funding will support research to identify and characterize pathogen effector proteins that suppress host plant defenses during early infection by oomycetes and fungi, including the fungal rice destroyer Magnaporthe oryzae. The goal is to clarify the rules for effector evolution,...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of New Mexico to investigate the rare occurrence of fungal-insect symbiotic relationships. The project aims to understand why fungi rarely form long-term beneficial partnerships with insects, unlike the more common bacterial-insect symbioses. Specifically, the research will explore the co-evolutionary history and genome architecture of fungal...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $270,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in the area of fungal biology. The fellowship will investigate how the two genetically distinct nuclei within the cells of dikaryotic fungi contribute to gene expression and regulation. Specifically, the research will quantify the relative expression levels of the individual nuclear types under different...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
- This $452,399 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Hofstra University to investigate the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in maize. The research aims to study the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RDDM) induced by naturally occurring maize "killer" alleles and explore the dynamic regulation of transposable element silencing in response to developmental cues. The project will...
- This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $683,512 to Clark University to conduct research on the genetic mechanisms underlying morphological evolution in mushrooms. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (01/01/2024 - 12/31/2026) include: Resolving the higher-level phylogenetic relationships within the fungal genus Lentinus using genomic data from living cultures and herbarium specimens....
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $474,469.00 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to research how filamentous fungi respond to and recover from cell wall damage. The research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that coordinate these fungal responses, using advanced microscopy, genetic tools, and computational modeling. The ultimate goal is to enable tuning of fungal cell wall properties...
