- This Project Grant award of $682,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a collaborative research investigation led by St. Olaf College into the role of polo kinases in maintaining chiral asymmetry in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. The project aims to explore how this single-celled protozoan organism is able to achieve a high degree of organizational complexity, including the development of a 360-degree circumferential...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
- This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
- This $493,073 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on the evolutionary processes that enable a genus of ciliates known as Mesodinium to acquire and maintain phototrophy through organelle sequestration. The 3-year project will use comparative cellular, metabolic, and genetic analyses to understand the adaptations that allow some Mesodinium species to...
- This Project Grant award of $891,897 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a collaborative research effort to study the multiscale mechanics of septin assembly and curvature sensing in biological cells. The research, conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), aims to determine how cells can sense micron-scale geometry using nanometer-scale septin proteins. Key objectives include investigating...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. a $299,072 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support comparative single cell transcriptomics and regulomics research from June 2023 to May 2025. Specifically, the foundation will utilize cutting-edge omics techniques to discover the regulatory components of monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis in two plant species. Researchers will...
- This Project Grant award for $1,132,274 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support research to understand how single cells are able to move through constrained environments by studying the cytoskeletal regulation of cell migration. The primary aim is to investigate how evolutionarily conserved septin proteins function to enable cells, from nematodes to humans, to squeeze through tight spaces. This will involve developing...
- This $899,809 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing ciliate-algal symbiosis. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will utilize a single-celled ciliate model to identify genotype-phenotype relationships and discover novel genes governing endosymbiosis with dinoflagellate algae....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research from September 2021 to August 2023 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds postdoctoral fellowship research at Decatur, Georgia aimed at maximizing the power to uncover molecular mechanisms between genotype and phenotype in biology. The Biological Sciences program seeks to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic biological...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $738,632 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to investigate how competition between species influences the temporal stability of ecosystems. The 3-year project will use fast-growing protist organisms in controlled laboratory experiments to test how competitive interactions and species arrival order affect the ability of ecological communities and interconnected systems to...
