The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $450,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. Penn State will reconstruct ancient human microbiomes and analyze shifts in oral microbial communities that accompanied changes in diet, environment, and human interactions over the past 1,000 years. The university will sequence ancient DNA from calcified dental plaque to identify...
This $515,926 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to develop an in vitro gingival (gum) tissue system to study the role of microbial communities on oral health and disease. The 5-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, will be conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Office of Research Administration-Lowell. The key objectives are: (1) developing and validating a microphysiological system to study oral...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $996,521 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The goal of the research project is to scale single-cell physiology studies to better understand community stability in the natural gut microbiome. As part of this work, Johns Hopkins University will expand its microbiome curriculum to additional middle schools in Baltimore County...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, provides $198,000 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research on the relationship between oral microbiome diversity and oral health disparities in the United States. The key objectives are to: 1) Analyze how oral microbiota diversity, composition, and abundance of individual species differ across...
This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $276,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 to support research investigating the effects of microbiome ecological and evolutionary origin on plant-microbiome coevolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will support a postdoctoral fellow's integrative research exploring how a microbiome's previous associations with plant hosts influence community adaptation and the...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $116,657 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the relationship between deforestation and amphibian microbiomes and the role this plays in disease emergence. The research will examine how habitat fragmentation impacts pathogen exposure rates and the establishment of "microbiome memory" in amphibians, altering disease risk. Field experiments using...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) in the amount of $300,000 supports research by Duke University to develop an integrated experimental and computational approach to uncover the design principles governing microbiome function. The key objectives are to apply advanced machine learning techniques, high-throughput microbial community construction, and metabolomics to elucidate the molecular networks and cellular...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Nmc, Inc., doing business as New Mexico Consortium, for a 2-day workshop entitled "Microbiome Data Management in Action" to be held in Atlanta, GA on June 12-13, 2024. The proposed workshop will bring together key decision makers in microbiome science to discuss recent progress, challenges, and recommendations for improved environmental microbiome data...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, will test how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of leaf defensive hairs in legume plants. The $1,180,492 award, effective from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, aims to determine how microbial symbionts contribute to host trait evolution, specifically examining the link between symbiont effects on host defense traits and the host resources they...
