- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,419,596 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The grant aims to identify the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity - the ability of organisms to change their physical traits in response to environmental changes. Specifically, the research will study genetic variation underlying the spectacular carnivore larval morph in Mexican spadefoot toads, which is...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the role of phenotypic plasticity in enabling population persistence in novel environments. The $240,000 award, spanning 3 years from September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a genomic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize the mechanisms of environmental assessment and how they vary across...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research testing rules of life for developmental trade-offs in sensory and cognitive systems from March 2022 to February 2024. The award was made 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. Funding will support postdoctoral...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $767,109 to the University of Southern California from September 2022 through August 2025. The grant supports research into the role of adaptive plasticity in coral response to climate change. Specifically, the university will investigate the mechanistic basis and ecological consequences of morphological plasticity in the foundational Caribbean coral Acropora cervicornis. Researchers will...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to determine the functional and physiological tradeoffs of thermal plasticity on ectotherm hosts combatting a novel pathogen. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Most research supported by this...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Phenotypic Flexibility May Allow Long-Lived Species to Buffer from Environmental Change" from January 1, 2022 through December 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...
- This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Effects of Individual Experience on Population Social Structure: Integrating Development, Gene Expression and Social Ecology." The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from March 2022 to February 2024 in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The goal of the Biological Sciences program is to promote advancement in the biological sciences and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "General Plasticity Kinetics: Developing a Universal Framework of Developmental Plasticity" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The grant funding will support basic research toward developing a universal framework for developmental plasticity, with the work taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah. The two-year project period will allow for investigation into the kinetics governing developmental plasticity across species, with the aim of establishing general principles that could help elucidate mechanisms underlying environmentally-driven changes during organism growth.
