NSF program PLANT FUNGAL & MICROB DEV MECH (111800): 32 awards, $17.4M to 27 organizations

32 NSF awards ($17.4M) under the program element PLANT FUNGAL & MICROB DEV MECH (111800) to 27 organizations, fiscal years 2022 to 2026, read 2026-11-03.

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. It reads the NIH and NSF award files each time the agencies update them, and this page is that reading, joined to the open federal funding opportunities on Grants.gov. Ask for the awards you track by topic, organization or state and new awards arrive in your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent as the agencies publish them.

Updated November 3, 2026. Read from NIH RePORTER ExPORTER and NSF Award Search. Published by NIH and NSF as U.S. government data. NIH awards are fiscal years 2021 to 2025 (NIH files published to 2026-07-09); NSF awards are fiscal years 2022 to 2026 (NSF files published to 2026-11-02). NIH amounts are the total cost of each fiscal year in the window; NSF amounts are the funds obligated in the window. Organizations are matched on the UEI. Open opportunities come from Grants.gov and match on agency and assistance listing number, and on the notice number NIH prints on an award. Free to reuse with credit to SpecStream under CC BY 4.0.
