The ultimate goal is to enable tuning of fungal cell wall properties...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support fundamental research to develop novel fungal composite materials with advanced mechanical properties. The $248,773 award to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) aims to understand the mechanisms that govern the interfacial bonding between fungal hyphae and synthetic glass particle fillers, using a hydrogel-based interfacial engineering approach....
- This Project Grant award, valued at $270,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in the area of fungal biology. The fellowship will investigate how the two genetically distinct nuclei within the cells of dikaryotic fungi contribute to gene expression and regulation. Specifically, the research will quantify the relative expression levels of the individual nuclear types under different...
- This $955,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at Clark University to study the diversity, evolution, and origin of secondary metabolism in commensal microscopic filamentous fungi. The key research activities include: Reconstructing the evolutionary relationships among Basidiobolus fungal species. Exploring how secondary metabolite genes vary across Basidiobolus species and testing whether some genes were acquired...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of New Mexico to investigate the rare occurrence of fungal-insect symbiotic relationships. The project aims to understand why fungi rarely form long-term beneficial partnerships with insects, unlike the more common bacterial-insect symbioses. Specifically, the research will explore the co-evolutionary history and genome architecture of fungal...
- This $234,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to investigate the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont (plant-fungal) relationships in response to environmental stressors like salinity in coastal marshes. The 3-year project will evaluate the nature of these plant-fungal partnerships along environmental gradients, assessing...

- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,051,699 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University. The three-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, aims to study the genetic and environmental interactions governing mycoparasitism, the phenomenon where certain fungi attack and parasitize other fungal species. The research will focus on the dynamics of the rhizosphere fungal community, including mycorrhizal fungi that have a symbiotic relationship...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $171,094 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to St. Mary's College of Maryland. The funding supports a 3-year collaborative research project to evaluate the partnership between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal symbionts along an environmental stress gradient. The project aims to assess how these plant-endosymbiont associations change under salinity stress, with the goal of developing a publicly...
