- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to address a key question related to plant resistance to nematodes. Specifically, the $695,380 award to the Regents of the University of Idaho seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying potato resistance to the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida. The research project will investigate how plants detect nematode-derived small-molecule signals, such...
- The Project Grant award, titled "DEVELOPING AN INTRACELLULAR PROTEIN DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR IN PLANTA PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTION STUDIES", was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The $1,000,000 award, with a project period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will support the development of a novel, non-invasive intracellular protein delivery system to enable the study of protein interactions within live plant cells. The...
- This $699,903 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to study how microbial activity in the root zone of the crop plant sorghum impacts the plant's ability to grow and utilize nitrogen. The goal is to elucidate the role of homoserine lactone-mediated interbacterial signaling in shaping the rhizosphere microbial community structure and function to support plant growth and health. This 3-year project (8/1/2025 -...
- This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) aims to develop novel bio-based approaches to control root-knot nematodes and facilitate the translation of these approaches to agricultural practices through extension and outreach to stakeholders. The key objectives are to: (a) develop bio-based carriers for encapsulating plant-derived biochemical extracts with nematicidal and attractant...
- 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 $300,122 National Science Foundation project grant supports research titled "Collaborative Research: EDGE FGT: Functional Genomic Tools for Parasitic Nematodes and Their Bacterial Symbionts." Awarded on August 15, 2021 to the University of California, Riverside for the period through July 31, 2025, the grant funds basic biological research under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).

- This $1,081,045 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program is funding research at the University of Washington to investigate the molecular mechanisms of a toxin-antidote system in nematode worms. The research aims to determine how a specific toxin kills cells and how the antidote acts to prevent cell death. This work will be complemented by efforts to isolate and identify new worm strains and species from nature, providing material for...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award for $270,000 funds a postdoctoral research fellowship from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to innovative advances in biology. Specifically, the project investigates how long-term soil warming affects the traits and gene expression of fungal-feeding nematodes (fungivores) and aims to establish predictive links between nematode traits and...
