This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $726,922 will support research into the convergent evolution of eyes in cnidarians through a collaborative project between the University of California, Santa Barbara and the State of California Controller's Office. The three-year award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to advance understanding of evolutionary relationships in medusozoan jellyfish and the independent origins and development of eyes in this...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $392,713 supports research at Texas A&M University to advance understanding of cnidarian phylogeny and the convergent evolution of eyes. The research team will generate new transcriptome data from medusozoan cnidarians to reconstruct the evolutionary history of eyes across the phylum. They will compare gene expression profiles of convergently evolved eyes and other tissues to identify conserved and convergent patterns. Single-cell...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
This $814,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund research at Iowa State University from July 2022 to June 2025 to address questions regarding the evolution and diversification of visual systems in scallops and related bivalve mollusks. Specifically, the grantee will conduct morphological, functional, and genomic analyses to understand eye evolution and regression in relation to ecological factors such as ocean depth among...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 provides funding from November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2024 to support research and training under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074).
