This $240,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of symbiosis in driving the evolution and diversification of Hawaiian cixiid planthoppers. The research aims to leverage the unique geography and biodiversity of Hawaii to understand how microbial partnerships may contribute to host species diversity...
This Project Grant award of $188,491 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research study on the symbiotic relationship between grasses and their fungal microbes. The primary research objectives are to understand how these host-microbe symbioses influence the health and stability of grass populations, particularly in response to fluctuations in environmental conditions. The study involves a long-term demographic experiment...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, will test the hypothesis that microbial symbionts affect the evolution of defense traits in their legume plant hosts. The $1,180,492 award, with a period of performance from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, will investigate how the resource exchange between nitrogen-fixing Ensifer bacteria and the legume Medicago lupulina influences the evolution of leaf...
This $483,851 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Scranton to study factors influencing the prevalence of parasitic infections in birds. The project will collect and analyze parasite specimens from birds and insect vectors in northeastern Pennsylvania to test hypotheses about host traits and ecological interactions that drive parasitism. The research aims to advance understanding of disease...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $371,044 provides funding for research on the evolution and ecology of the mutualistic and parasitic relationships between leafflower plants and leafflower moths. The award supports four master's students at the University of Texas Permian Basin, a Hispanic-serving institution, to study the genetics, microbiology, and diversity of these moths in Texas, the southeastern United States, and Puerto Rico. The project also funds summer research experiences for five undergraduates, including one from the University of Puerto Rico. This research aims to improve understanding of the frequent evolutionary transitions between mutualism and parasitism, which have important implications for medicine, agriculture, and epidemiology. The award period is from February 15, 2025 to March 31, 2026, and there are no planned sub-awards.
