Dr. Christina Woltz has been awarded an NSF EAR Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out research and education plans at Stanford University. Before the widespread appearance of animal...
Collaborative Research: Investigating the factors shaping marine-derived freshwater fish radiations in tropical rivers of Australia and New Guinea
The vast majority of the over 30,000 species of fishes in the world occur either in marine or freshwater ecosystems, not both. However, over the course of millions of years, select...

CAREER: Understanding past and present biogeochemical cycle of potassium (K) and its implications for the global carbon cycle: proxy development based on stable K isotopes
The weathering of silicate rocks is an important part of Earth’s natural “thermostat.” Silicate weathering can scrub carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and is considered a natura...
Collaborative Research: Seed-fungal interactions: uncovering functional specificity and primary symbionts as key drivers of tropical tree recruitment
Microbes are key determinants of plant population size, density, and diversity in all terrestrial biomes. In species-rich tropical forests, fungi and fungus-like organisms mediate...

Collaborative Research: Unraveling the Structure and Mode of Action of Fungal Ice Nucleators
Some cold-adapted fungi contain compounds with the unusual capability to catalyze the freezing of water. These fungi are known to have a role in making ice in the atmosphere; howev...
Supporting World-Class Labs at the University of Manchester (2022)
Since its creation in 2004, the University of Manchester has focussed on building its reputation for world-class research, and has risen rapidly in world university league tables....
FW-HTF-P: Rapid Organizational Assimilation in On-demand Work through Social Learning
The Internet and related technologies have transformed the way of work, by allowing people to work remotely, and increasingly, on short-term projects or gigs. Online platforms make...
Collaborative Research: Further Characterizing Active Learning Environments in Physics
This project aims to serve the national interest by improving teaching and learning in college and university physics courses. This collaborative project involves investigators at...
CAREER: Assigning comprehensive, standardized sample annotations to enhance the ability to discover, use, and interpret millions of –omics profiles
There are nearly 2 million experiments now in open online databases where, in each experiment, scientists have recorded data on the activity of tens of thousands of DNA elements, g...
IRES Track I: Student Research Experience in Germany to Resolve Complex Plant Traits
Washington State University (WSU) and Germany’s CEPLAS program (Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences) intend to develop a cohort of carefully selected, diverse IRES scholars as...
Collaborative Proposal: MRA: Macroecology of microorganisms: Scaling fungal biodiversity from soil cores to the North American continent
Soil fungi are mostly invisible to the naked eye, but they provide a wide range of ecosystem functions: as decomposers, they break down complex organic materials, and as plant symb...
