The project, titled "PURSUIT: BIODIVERSITY EXPLORATION AND PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS OF THE ZOOSPORIC FUNGAL PHYLUM BLASTOCLADIOMYCOTA", aims to discover new species and taxonomically revise...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $898,475 Project Grant to Michigan State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026. The grant funds collaborative research to study the impact of the fungal microbiome in metal tolerance and soil biogeochemical transformations. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
- 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 a $209,582 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Office of Sponsored Projects Administration to support collaborative research titled "DISTRIBUTIONS OF MACROFUNGI: QUANTIFYING ECOSYSTEM AND CLIMATE DRIVERS OF FUNGAL REPRODUCTION." The three-year award period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025. The grant supports research under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program,...
- 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...
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 oak savannas. The research will also involve undergraduate education in mycology and the engagement of citizen scientists in data collection efforts. Restoration experiments will examine the role of mycorrhizal fungi in oak savanna ecosystem function and recovery. This 5-year project, running from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2030, aims to develop strategies for incorporating fungal conservation into the management of this endangered and culturally significant ecosystem.
