- The National Science Foundation awarded a $393,641 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Fayetteville State University (FSU), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), to develop course-based undergraduate research experiences that enhance students' capacity in genetic engineering and computational biology. The key objectives are to: 1) Improve students' ability to conduct biological research using scientific methods; 2) Equip participants with skills to...
- This $505,263.16 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Scholarships for Students at 1890 Institutions Program (CFDA 10.524) will provide 50-70 scholarships per year to support the recruitment, engagement, retention, mentoring, and training of undergraduate students in food and agricultural sciences at Lincoln University, Missouri. The award aims to develop a highly skilled and diverse workforce capable of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $396,492 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to Oakwood University, Inc., a historically Black Seventh-day Adventist private university, to support the development, implementation, and study of innovative approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students in STEM fields. The grant will fund the enhancement of two undergraduate biology laboratory...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $458,411 to fund a conference for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) titled "Growing Research Through Innovative Collaborations for Historically Black Colleges and Universities." The primary goal of this one-year project is to address systemic barriers to research funding for HBCUs by facilitating the development of new and expanded...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $300,000 to Tuskegee University to advance the understanding of myxomycete (slime mold) diversity and preservation. The award will fund an interdisciplinary training platform for undergraduate and graduate students to study the ecology, evolution, and molecular biology of these understudied microbes. Key activities include: digitizing the university's historic L....
- The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $1.13 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct research on "Hotspots of Genome Evolution in a Rapid Vertebrate Radiation" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant is being administered under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $1,180,492 to the University of Pennsylvania will fund research to investigate how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of plant defense traits. The project aims to determine how genetic variation in microbial symbionts influences heritable variation in host plant defense characteristics, such as leaf hairs that protect against insect damage. Additionally, the project will train...
This federal Project Grant award for $350,993 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Lincoln University, a historically Black college and university (HBCU) in Pennsylvania. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: OUT OF ONE, MANY: PARALOG-SPECIFIC REGULONS FROM A SINGLE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE", aims to map the underlying regulatory properties of transcription factor functional divergence - a key driver of cellular and organismal complexity. The research will utilize cutting-edge multi-omic techniques and establish a long-term collaboration between Lincoln University and the University of Pennsylvania to provide year-round research opportunities for students. The award period is from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
