The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund the collection and analysis of gut microbiome samples from over 3,300 animal species, representing the most comprehensive dataset to date. This will allow for improved understanding of the origins and ecological controls of gut microbiomes across the...
This $138,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in plant microbiomes under global change. The fellow will test new theory on plant-microbe associations and apply a tradeoff framework analyzing microbial yield,...
This NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $137,000 to support research and training for an early-career scientist. The project aims to investigate the role of gut microbiomes in helping herbivorous hosts, such as snowshoe hares and greater sage-grouse, tolerate toxins found in their plant-based diets. The research will use multi-omics approaches to determine the microbial...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $138,000 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for fiscal years 2022 through 2024. The fellowship funding is awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The fellowship will support research and training to advance understanding of how maternal microbial exposures during development promote tolerance for beneficial microbes and protection...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $207,000 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 2021 through February 2024. The funding is awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological science research and enhance understanding of major problems facing the nation. The Fellowship will allow the recipient to conduct basic research in the biological sciences field at a location in Black Earth, Wisconsin,...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $138,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2025 to support research investigating the role of host-associated microbes in plant responses to global environmental stressors such as drought. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will advance understanding of microbial influences on host acclimation, adaptation, and population persistence under changing...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. The fellowship will fund the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to detect parasite biodiversity and incorporate parasites into ecological networks. This non-invasive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the role of pathogens in the success or failure of species invasions, using wild rodents in New England as a model system. The research will test hypotheses around pathogen release, spillover, and spillback, analyzing rodent population...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to integrate megafauna community reassembly with ecosystem carbon cycling.
