Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia TECH) was awarded a $523,102 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on March 1, 2022 to fund research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) through February 28, 2025.

The grant will support research investigating the relationship between limits to evolvability and the maximal sustainable niche of generalist species. Specifically, the funding will enable scientists at Virginia TECH to advance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences by exploring how constraints on a species' ability to evolve shape the range of environmental conditions and resources it can exploit as a generalist. Key outcomes will include new scientific knowledge gained regarding factors defining generalists' ecological niches.
