The Biological Sciences program aims to promote...
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 awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
This Project Grant award, valued at $992,808.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative research project is to elucidate the role of fungal microbiomes in mediating the uptake, transformation, and detoxification of metal ions, nanoparticles, and other metal species in the environment. The research will employ advanced analytical techniques to investigate the physiological,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 provides funding to Clue Genetics Inc. for the development of a fungi-focused metabologenomics platform for natural product discovery.
