This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems totals $249,000 and runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The award funds a Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research using duckweed as a model to study plant responses to environmental stressors. The fellowship recipient, Bryan Ramirez-Corona, will conduct their research at the University of Washington...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $291,182 Project Grant to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The grant, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a collaborative research project to evaluate the potential for engineered synthetic microbial communities to help plant hosts, such as duckweed, adapt to the impacts of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded a $324,255 Project Grant to Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College (LSU) for collaborative research to evaluate how engineered synthetic microbial communities may help plant hosts adapt to climate change. The grant, awarded on July 1, 2023, will run through June 30, 2026. The key objectives are to: (1) assess the impacts of different synthetic microbial communities...
This $314,560 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Purdue University to develop crop varieties that enhance agricultural sustainability. The key objectives are to: Identify genetic targets underlying microbiome-mediated genetic resistance to major current and emergent biotic and abiotic stresses in three widely-grown crops - wheat, tomato, and poplar...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant will provide $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms governing the remarkable adaptability of aquatic plants. The research aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of heterophylly (the ability to produce different leaf forms) and facultative CAM photosynthesis in the model plant Littorella uniflora. The project will employ...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research investigating the interactions between seagrasses, environmental conditions, and microbes from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellow will conduct three studies to better understand how the presence of the sulfide-oxidizing...
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...
This $376,301 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Rochester aimed at developing a practical approach for controlling and stabilizing microbial communities. The project leverages plasmid conjugation to dynamically balance microbial growth rates and composition, creating programmable microbial populations that can maintain stability across diverse conditions. Key objectives include computational...
This $452,947 project grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research at Clark University from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to examine transgenerational effects as a mechanism for partner choice in the legume-rhizobia mutualism. Specifically, the project will study whether previous exposure to specific rhizobia strains and their efficacy informs subsequent generations of bearded clover host plants'...
