The National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) awarded $1.89M in Project Grant funding to the University of Nebraska, with performance at Lincoln, Nebraska, from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2030. This collaborative research initiative, led by Arkansas State University in partnership with the University of Kansas, University of Nebraska, and Kansas State University, develops fungal-based agricultural technology to enhance drought tolerance in rice and wheat crops. The project delivers research products combining plant-fungal experimentation, plant physiology, and genomics to identify optimal arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal and plant genotype combinations that maximize crop yields under water-stressed conditions. The award produces both scientific and applied outcomes, including field-tested crop-specific fungal inoculant consortia validated through controlled water-availability experiments, socioeconomic research on farmer adoption factors and perceived barriers to implementation, and STEM workforce development infrastructure across Arkansas, Kansas, and Nebraska. By restoring beneficial AM fungal species to agricultural soils through inoculant technology, the project addresses rainfall unpredictability affecting domestic crop yields and food security while simultaneously strengthening agricultural research capacity and human capital development across three EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) jurisdictions.Federal Grant Award Summary
