The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems.
The fellowship funding will support research exploring how trait regulation evolves from greater environmental control to greater genetic control. The work will be conducted at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, and aims to advance understanding of a major problem in evolutionary biology by investigating the mechanisms underlying this shift in the control of phenotypic traits.
