This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $607,076 in funding to the Regents of the University of Michigan from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research to advance understanding of social partner choice and its consequences in social animals. Researchers will analyze partner choice decisions in paper wasp species as they form...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $307,486 provides funding from April 2022 through March 2026 to support research examining signals of genetic quality and mate choice in nonhuman primates. Funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to California Lutheran University will advance knowledge of physiology and social evolution in primate relatives through field-based research and laboratory analysis. Undergraduate...
This $926,511 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research to develop a framework for studying "higher order interactions" (HOI) - simultaneous interactions among multiple components in complex systems. The funded work aims to examine the causes and consequences of HOI, using a model system of Argentine ant foraging and food transmission to develop mathematical tools from algebraic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $599,988 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct an historical and ethnographic study on "The Agencies of Animal Governance in Los Angeles". The goal of this three-year project, starting on September 1, 2023, is to understand the cohabitation of humans and animals in American cities and how government agencies' approaches to urban animals have changed over...
This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
This $188,363 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research by Trustees of Boston University to investigate why breeding individuals in animal social groups tolerate non-breeding members. The 5-year project will use the clown anemonefish as a model system, combining laboratory experiments, field work, and molecular genetics to evaluate hypotheses about the potential benefits to breeding pairs of living in larger groups. The research aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship examining social interdependence in primate species. The research, conducted by an early-career scientist under the sponsorship of Drs. Joan Silk and Jason Kamilar at Arizona State University, aims to: Quantify how kinship, social status, and reproductive interests shape social relationships within and across primate...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,000,000 will fund research at Cornell University from March 2023 through February 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support projects to disentangle the neural mechanisms underlying social behaviors and alternative mating tactics in vertebrates. Researchers will conduct studies in prairie voles, a socially monogamous species where males vary in sexual fidelity despite strong pair bonds. The work will...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 supports genomic and behavioral research into the role of mate choice in biodiversity from June 2022 to May 2024. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award provides a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate genomic determinants of mate preferences in the marine worm Streblospio benedicti using genomics, molecular techniques, and behavioral assays. The fellow will explore how female preferences for males...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a 5-year, $453,914 CAREER grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports a research project titled "GOING BEYOND THE DYAD: A NETWORK THEORY FOR UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES OF FRIENDSHIP." The project aims to identify the various challenges people face in realizing and maintaining friendships, as well as generate insights into...
