The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work on "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EAGER: CHARACTERIZING A NOVEL TURBULENCE-GENERATING SYSTEM TO FACILITATE EXPLORATION OF INSECT ORIENTATION BEHAVIOR UNDER REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will support Princeton University's development of a novel turbulence-generating system to enable exploration of insect orientation behavior under more realistic outdoor conditions. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance understanding of major problems in biology through basic research, consistent with the goals of this research to characterize a system facilitating real-world study of insect navigation behaviors.
