- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $351,886 to Michigan State University to study fungal biodiversity in oak savanna ecosystems. The project aims to compare the effects of different management practices on fungal diversity in these endangered ecosystems, which are being lost due to land use changes. Key activities include fungal biodiversity assessments, population genomics, and developing conservation and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,787 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct collaborative research on integrating fungal biodiversity into the conservation and restoration of oak savanna ecosystems. Key project activities include: Assessing fungal biodiversity through sporocarp surveys, metabarcoding of soil and air samples, and population genomics of key fungal taxa associated with...
- 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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $193,119 will fund research to advance understanding of soil fungal biodiversity patterns across North America. Leveraging two extensive DNA sequencing datasets from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Dimensions of Biodiversity Project on North American Soil Fungi, the University of Michigan team will apply novel modeling techniques to identify key environmental variables influencing fungal community composition and geographic...
- 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...
- 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 $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded Michigan Technological University a $659,611 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The research aims to determine if tree encroachment with altered hydrology in peatlands accelerates or suppresses decomposition. Key products and services include analyzing fungal community structure and function, characterizing...
- 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 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting a collaborative research project to develop a new framework for understanding the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont responses to varying environments. The $175,511 project, awarded on October 15, 2025 and running through September 30, 2028, will evaluate the extent of mutualistic partnerships between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal partners along a stress...
