- This $270,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for fiscal year 2025. The fellowship will fund research and training to contribute to innovative advances in biology, specifically investigating the evolutionary history and genetic basis of vibrant plumage coloration in tropical tanager birds. The project aims to elucidate the role of interspecific...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology. The fellowship, awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in innovative ways. Specifically, the fellow will conduct in vivo and in vitro testing of zebra finch...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Quality Over Quantity: Uncovering the Genetic Mechanisms Linking Egg Quality to Fitness" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of promoting progress in the biological sciences and strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise by increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing...
- This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
- The University of Rochester received a $898,039 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 on neo-sex chromosome evolution and its impact on speciation-with-gene flow in oceanic island birds. The research aims to advance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge of how sex...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $138,000 in funding to support research contributions to variation in fitness in a wild bird population. The award period is from July 2021 through June 2023. The grant was awarded under the NSF's 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 understanding of major problems. Funding will support the grantee's research examining the roles of linkage, dominance and plasticity in generating variation observed in fitness traits within a pedigreed bird population in Rochester, New York. Outcomes will contribute to the foundational goals of the Biological Sciences program by advancing scientific knowledge of fundamental biological processes.
