CAREER: Probing Multiscale Growth Dynamics in Filamentous Cell Walls
Various plants and fungi rely on filamentous growth to develop, reproduce, or survive under environmental stress. For example, the growth of root hairs with one-cell width effectiv...
Teachers and Researchers Advancing Integrated Lessons in STEM
High school students in rural underserved populations often lack STEM role models, have deficiencies in career readiness, and have limited access to advanced technologies. Although...
HSI Implementation and Evaluation Project: Strengthening Teaching and Advancing Research Partnerships to Reinforce the STEM Workforce
With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), this project from the University of Puerto Rico at Aguadilla aims to unde...

CAREER: Prevalence, magnitude, and importance of gut microbial detoxification services in insect herbivory
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Insects eat plants. This is both a basic process in nature and a major pr...
Platform technology for full dynamic range infectious disease detection and quantification.
In the fight against infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and tuberculosis, molecular diagnostics is the essential tool for detecting and quantifying infectious agents through thei...
Adaptation of REIMS for in situ, non-destructive and potential on-site diagnosis of plant parasitic nematode infection
Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are globally distributed, soil-borne pests, which exert a significant economic burden on global agriculture. Through costs associated with control,...
Landscapes of Dispersed Settlement: Understanding People and Place in the Severn Valley, 1066-1500
This project will focus on post-Conquest (AD1066 - 1500) landscapes of dispersed settlement in the middle Severn valley (from Ombersley and Shrawley, Worcestershire to Morville and...
An insect-inspired approach to robotic grasping
To be really useful, robots need to interact with objects in the world. The current inability of robots to grasp diverse objects with efficiency and reliability severely limits the...
The role of woodlands in the diversity and resilience of pollinator communities in agricultural landscapes
Scientific background Intensive agriculture is a key driver of declines in pollinating insect populations and pollination services. Ecological intensification to mitigate these ef...
Manipulation of the ruminant gastrointestinal tract microbiomes for reduced environmental impact of nitrogen excretion from dairy cows
Nitrogen use (NUE) in ruminants is low, typically 25-30%, with the remaining nitrogen being excreted in urine, and some in the faeces (Huws et al., 2018; Foskolos and Moorby.,2018;...
Infrastructure and livelihoods along China's Belt and Road: The case of coffee farming in Shan State, Myanmar
Throughout much of the Global South, expanding infrastructure and agrarian change are remaking the political ecologies of communities on the margins. Transformational development p...
Microbial transitions in soil ecosystems under land use and climate change
Background: The soil microbiome, which encompasses a vast diversity of microbial life, plays a crucial role in regulating biogeochemical cycles and plant growth. Yet, our understan...
STC: Center for Research On Programmable Plant Systems
This NSF Science and Technology Center aims to devise a two-way communication system between humans and plants that will dramatically enhance the ability to predict, design, and me...
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology FY 2021: Investigating the Genetic Basis of Local Adaptation in Yellow Starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis)
This action funds an NSF Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2021. The fellowship supports a research and training plan in a host laboratory for the Fel...
Understanding molecular mechanisms of male fertility and the link to motile cilia
Reproductive success is crucial for the preservation of species and sustainable agriculture and food, in addition to being essential to human health. In human populations, poor spe...
NSF-BSF: The biomechanics of long-distance flight in large beetles: Do smaller individuals fly better?
Insects have a tremendous effect on the world’s agriculture and forests. Their main dispersal mechanism is by flight, and some insects are capable of prolonged flights enabling the...
DISES: Coproducing Actionable Science to Understand, Mitigate, and Adapt to Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (CHABS)
Despite large investments in improving water quality efforts worldwide, cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABS) remain common and are getting worse. CHABs can produce toxins, w...
