- This $408,375 federal Project Grant awarded on August 18, 2025 by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to uncover the rules governing the spread of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in microbes. The project aims to characterize MGE compatibility and how MGEs and microbial chromosomes co-evolve to maintain compatibility, using plasmids in the Agrobacteria/Rhizobia complex as a model...
- The University of California, Merced received a $550,108 Project Grant award under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences' (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to conduct fundamental research on the genetic regulation of microbial community formation, with a focus on biofilms. The project, which runs from May 5, 2025 to March 31, 2030, aims to provide new insights into the molecular and mechanistic bases of biofilm development, regulation, and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $495,117 to the University of Wisconsin System for a project titled "Accessing the Hidden Biosynthetic Capabilities of Fungi". The project aims to advance natural product discovery from filamentous fungi by: (1) elucidating the products of fungal gene clusters encoding unusual enzymes and chemistries, (2) examining how...
- This two-year, $237,651 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program will support research at the University of Hawaii aimed at understanding microbial interactions under changing environments and broadening scientific training opportunities. The grant recipient, University of Hawaii, will partner with the University of California, San Diego to leverage locally important fermented foods like taro to determine how abiotic and biotic factors influence the...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $892,290 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research characterizing mesophoric seaweeds in Hawaii from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. Key products and services include collecting, identifying, and describing previously unknown mesophoric seaweed species from Hawaii to add to biodiversity data and herbarium...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training federal grant program (CFDA 93.859), provides $393,250.00 to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to conduct research on the fundamental mechanisms underlying fungal stress responses and adaptation during host colonization. The research program will utilize the fungus Nakaseomyces glabratus as a model organism, employing techniques such as...
- This federal Project Grant award of $395,701.00 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), to the University of Texas at Austin. The funding supports a research program to study the molecular bases of interactions between bacteria and between bacteria and their animal hosts, with a focus on insect microbiomes. The key objectives are to understand: 1) how competitive interactions between...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa will use a $2.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation to understand how microbes govern food web architecture and efficiency in a model watershed. The grant was awarded on January 15, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will support research through December 31, 2026. As part of its basic research mission, the Biological Sciences program aims to increase scientific knowledge of major problems confronting the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $294,060 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to understand biophysical principles of cellular organization at two scales: bacterial communities and intracellular biomolecular condensates. The research aims to elucidate how bacterial quorum sensing operates in natural environments, including the influence of other species, and to investigate...
This federal Project Grant award of $194,292 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will support research to understand the mechanisms of bacterial dispersal and molecule co-transport along fungal hyphae. Over the project period from September 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct three specific research aims: 1) quantitatively characterizing bacterial movement on fungal hyphae in lab microcosms, 2) predicting bacterial migration and dispersal across nutrient gradients and soil, and 3) testing mechanisms of bacterial movement and molecule co-transport using dyes and quantum dot particles. The results are expected to advance knowledge of how bacteria use fungal hyphae to disperse across substrates and the functional outcomes of such dispersal, with potential implications for understanding bacterial invasion and transport of harmful molecules in various environments.
