- The National Science Foundation awarded a $996,521 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The goal of the research project is to scale single-cell physiology studies to better understand community stability in the natural gut microbiome. As part of this work, Johns Hopkins University will expand its microbiome curriculum to additional middle schools in Baltimore County...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $584,772 to Trustees of Boston University to develop new light-based tools for monitoring infection progression and host immune responses in living fruit flies (Drosophila). The goal is to uncover genetic and environmental factors that influence infection outcomes by tracking microbial dynamics and host immune responses over time in individual animals. The research...
- This $985,496 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of Rochester to develop an innovative platform for controlling and stabilizing microbial communities. The project aims to leverage horizontal gene transfer, specifically through plasmid conjugation, to dynamically balance growth rates and community composition, creating programmable microbial populations capable of maintaining stability across...
- The University of South Florida (USF) received a $681,876 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project to investigate how prophages (viruses that infect bacteria) influence the structure and function of animal microbiomes, specifically in Ciona robusta (an invertebrate chordate) and Danio rerio (zebrafish). The project will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Rutgers, The State University a Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to establish a new model system to study the relationship between gut microbiome and host niche specialization. The $497,916 project, awarded on September 15, 2023, will examine the gut microbiomes of honeypot ants, which can store food through specialized gut morphology. The research aims to understand how gut microbiomes may help with long-term...
- This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
- This federal Project Grant award of $914,479 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to study the spatial organization and stability of synthetic gut microbiome communities in gnotobiotic mice. The research aims to elucidate the principles governing the assembly and persistence of microbial communities in the human digestive tract, which are essential for human...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $833,999.00 to Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia TECH) to investigate how defined microbiomes respond to viruses over short and long timescales. The project aims to test the hypothesis that robust microbiome functions are promoted by microbial communication systems and costs of virus resistance. This...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $144,912 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to investigate the factors shaping host-associated microbial communities using the honey bee as a model system. The research aims to integrate concepts from ecology and evolution to understand how environmental factors, species interactions, and evolutionary dynamics influence the composition of...
- This $290,025 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to develop new methods for detecting eukaryotic symbionts associated with insects. The primary awardee, the University of Iowa, will use the funding to: 1) design PCR blocking primers to inhibit amplification of insect DNA while allowing detection of other eukaryotic organisms, and 2) conduct large-scale surveys of insect-symbiont diversity across two...
