- This $926,511 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research to develop a framework for studying "higher order interactions" (HOI) - simultaneous interactions among multiple components in complex systems. The funded work aims to examine the causes and consequences of HOI, using a model system of Argentine ant foraging and food transmission to develop mathematical tools from algebraic...
- This $149,754 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst aimed at developing novel stimuli-responsive mesoscale polymer materials inspired by worm blobs. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the two-year award beginning August 1, 2022 will support fundamental biophysical experiments and mathematical analysis of California blackworm behavior, as well as synthesizing soft, flexible filament-like polymer structures....
- This federal Project Grant award of $554,742.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program funds collaborative research to investigate how mucus, the slimy gel lining wet surfaces in the body, shapes and maintains microbiomes. The research aims to address three key questions: what properties of mucus do microbes care about, how are microbes structured within mucus, and what are the processes by which microbiomes self-organize in mucus. This work combines...
- This $100,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports collaborative research to study the multiscale flagellar dynamics of bacteria swimming through complex biological fluids like mucus. The project will combine mathematical modeling, computer simulations, and laboratory experiments to develop a comprehensive understanding of how bacteria propel themselves through viscoelastic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $1,199,995 Project Grant to The Washington University in St. Louis to characterize the genetic and epigenetic determinants of the transition from unicellular to multicellular states in the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The project, funded through the Biological Sciences CFDA Program (47.074), leverages this organism's ability to regularly shift between unicellular and multicellular forms to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $330,000 supports theoretical and computational research by the University of California, Merced to describe and understand the behavior of biologically-inspired active solids. The research aims to create models that combine mechanical and chemical factors to investigate the unique shape changes and self-organization phenomena possible in active solids, such as those found in cell...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $584,898.00, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The project, titled "Beyond Size Limits: Examining the Biophysical Basis of Multicellular Adaptation," uses a long-term laboratory evolution experiment with engineered yeast to observe the real-time evolution of multicellularity. The research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $728,724 to Chapman University to conduct research on the fiber-reinforced slime produced by hagfishes, a group of ancient deep-sea fishes. The project has two main goals: 1) to understand the biophysical mechanisms that allow hagfish slime to expand rapidly, and 2) to characterize how the slime material varies across the 90+ species of hagfishes. Using high-speed video, the...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $160,000.00 to the University of Houston System to conduct collaborative research on the spatiotemporal dynamics of intercellular signaling in engineered multicellular bacterial systems. The research aims to develop mathematical modeling techniques that can better predict the behavior of such synthetic bacterial systems, which have potential applications...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $501,772 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Missouri System (doing business as Missouri University of Science & Technology) for a 3-year research project from June 2024 to May 2027. The project aims to understand how pheromone signaling and the dauer diapause stage of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans influence population dynamics under varying environmental conditions. Specifically,...
