The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $380,480 to Brown University to investigate the neural control of elaborate gestural displays in animals, with a focus on woodpeckers. The project aims to uncover the brain mechanisms underlying the production and perception of these communication-related behaviors. The research will involve training the principal investigator in advanced neuroscience techniques to record...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $138,000 in funding to define the role of the ZEB2 gene in the development of convergent neural circuitry for vocal imitation in birds. The award period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The research is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which promotes progress in the biological sciences through basic research that increases...
This $619,951 National Science Foundation Project Grant (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) awarded to the University of Rochester will fund research to understand how the human brain processes and represents song. The project will leverage advanced experimental and computational methods, including functional MRI and intracranial recordings from neurosurgical patients, to identify neural populations in the auditory cortex that selectively respond to singing. The research...
This $769,794 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research conducted by Brown University to investigate the regulation of co-transmission in "bilingual" neurons that release multiple neurotransmitters. The research aims to identify the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying how these co-transmitting neurons dynamically adapt their signaling properties in response...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at Raleigh, NC to study the neural control of acoustic duetting in fruit flies. The research aims to investigate how the brain evolves to generate new mating behaviors, such as female flies singing back to males during courtship. The project will leverage the fruit fly as a model organism to understand the neural circuitry that coordinates...
This Project Grant award, totaling $421,043, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to advance the understanding of neural mechanisms underlying behavioral adaptations in wild songbirds to urbanization. The research aims to characterize differences in brain gene networks associated with behavioral adjustments in urban male song sparrows compared to rural counterparts,...
This $502,569 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The grant supports collaborative research by investigators at the University of Montana, Brown University, and Bar-Ilan University to study the regulation of co-transmission in "bilingual" neurons that release multiple neurotransmitters in the fruit fly Drosophila model. The research aims to gain in-depth understanding of how multiple neurotransmitters...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental research to explore the cultural evolution and development of bird songs. The $352,744 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will be conducted by the President & Trustees of Williams College. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) understand the tradeoffs between the effectiveness of a song in attracting mates and the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology. The fellowship, awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in innovative ways. Specifically, the fellow will conduct in vivo and in vitro testing of zebra finch...
