Loyola University of Chicago received a $775,664 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. This CAREER award funds fundamental research investigating how bacterial populations evolve in response to elemental limitation, specifically examining changes in elemental composition and genetic adaptation when carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus availability varies from organismal requirements. The research will employ controlled laboratory evolution experiments to measure elemental composition, genetic changes, and fitness outcomes in bacteria under different selection pressures, with findings applicable to understanding organismal responses to human-altered environmental conditions such as fertilizer-driven nutrient enrichment. The award generates research outputs including experimental data on bacterial evolutionary responses to elemental scarcity, genetic characterization of adaptive changes, and computational analysis of nutrient-sparing mechanisms. The project incorporates significant educational components by providing research experiences to community college students through introductory biology laboratory coursework and subsequent participation as undergraduate researchers, thereby supporting workforce development in the biological sciences. Research activities will be conducted at Loyola University of Chicago's Chicago, Illinois campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
