The University of Mississippi received a $758,938 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences program) on August 1, 2026, for a collaborative research initiative examining the repeatability of evolution and co-evolution in microbial species interactions. The primary research deliverable involves conducting a long-term evolution experiment using two microbial species—the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii—across two distinct environmental conditions to characterize evolutionary changes at genomic and ecological levels. The research will generate scientific data and analysis comparing evolutionary repeatability across environmental contexts where species interdependence varies, advancing fundamental understanding of how ecological interactions influence evolutionary outcomes. In addition to research outputs, the award supports educational curriculum development designed to strengthen scientific reasoning skills among college students at participating institutions in California and Mississippi. The project will deliver educational materials and research experiences that enable students to participate directly in scientific research activities. The award extends through July 31, 2030, supporting both the experimental research program and the integration of research findings into undergraduate scientific education.Federal Grant Award Summary
