This federal Project Grant award of $240,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The research project will investigate the evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance migration in shorebirds, an extreme biological adaptation to seasonality. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in migratory adaptation and evaluate the influence of...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird species....
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research linking biomechanics to neurobiology in bird flight. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will enable study of how coordinated bird flight emerges from visual motion processing. The grant aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems by supporting basic research from September 2021 to August 2023 in Missoula, Montana.
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $414,000 supports research investigating the role of migratory behavior in population divergence and speciation from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will train a postdoctoral fellow in comparative phylogenetics and genomic analyses to study how animal migration contributes to the formation of new species. The fellow will test whether migratory lineages have higher...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $199,926 to the University of South Carolina from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding supports research titled "EAGER: Testing for Genes Associated with Migratory Behavior in a Peripatetic Species" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of the research is to test for genes associated with migratory behavior using a species known to travel...
This National Science Foundation award provides $159,259 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst through March 2024 to study the impacts of climate change and environmental pressures on long-distance migratory birds. Specifically, the award will support research tracking Hudsonian godwits throughout their annual migration cycle from Alaska to southern Chile using miniaturized tracking devices. The research aims to understand how changes occurring during different life cycle periods or...
The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $779,001 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) on May 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year research study examining the adaptive benefits of daylight availability and the photoperiodism of transhemispheric migratory birds. The research aims to determine if longer summer daylight at higher latitudes accelerates parental provisioning and offspring growth...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award to Scripps College will explore the functional significance of rudimentary locomotor structures in birds. The $327,738 project, awarded on October 1, 2024, will conduct research across three time scales: incipient wings in developing birds, reduced wings in semi-flightless birds, and protowings in extinct dinosaurs. The research aims to address knowledge gaps around how organisms acquire new and...
