The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania received a three-year, $339,937 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences. The grant supports research using genetic and computational methods to investigate morphological variation under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program aims to strengthen basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences through funding of projects that contribute to understanding how resources are invested in science.
The University of Pennsylvania grant will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 to apply genetic and computational analyses to study morphological, or physical form, variation. Insights from this research may help enhance understanding of the interplay between genetics and observable physical traits. The work will be performed in Philadelphia and aims to advance scientific knowledge in behavioral and cognitive sciences through an innovative investigation of the biological factors underlying morphological diversity.
