This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $199,996 supports research into how wild redtail monkeys make nutritional decisions across variable forest environments. The awardee, the Research Foundation of the City University of New York on behalf of Hunter College, will investigate feeding behavior, diet compositions, and gut microbiomes as monkeys experience disparate nutritional conditions in three forests. Behavioral observations, dietary analysis, and microbiome...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into the relationship between primate gut microbiomes and behavioral traits. The University of Massachusetts will analyze behavioral and fecal samples from wild nonhuman primates to quantify the taxonomic diversity of gut microbes through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and identify functional genes through metagenomic sequencing. The research aims to examine potential associations between gut microbiome diversity, behavioral...
This $396,474 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to understand the links between food security and access to natural resources, particularly wildlife, in regions undergoing urbanization. The research examines how social and economic factors impact access to wildlife and mitigate food insecurity, using survey methods across a broad sample of communities along the rural-urban...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $928,174 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems on November 1, 2021 to complete the project by October 31, 2024. The grant funds research into how sequential acquisition of nutritional resources modulates allocation decisions from a whole-organism perspective on life history tradeoffs. This project aligns with the goals of the Biological Sciences program administered by NSF, which provides support...
This $246,020 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) aims to develop non-human primate species as models for studying the human gut microbiome. The award will fund a research project at Northwestern University to generate baseline microbiome and physiological data across multiple non-human primate species, including marmosets, owl monkeys, squirrel monkeys, baboons, and macaques. This data will help determine which...
This $499,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on assessing adaptive and maladaptive stress responses in wild capuchin monkeys. The study, led by the University of Michigan, aims to: 1) measure variation in glucocorticoid levels in the monkeys before and after known social and ecological stressors; 2) quantify each individual's unique stress response; 3) determine if these responses are...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $329,849 to San Diego State University Research Foundation to study factors affecting foraging and provisioning decisions in rapidly changing landscapes. The research will examine how human-modified habitats shape macaque behavior in agricultural intensification contexts and people's...
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 $2,999,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the New Jersey Institute of Technology to understand energetic regulation in distributed biological and engineered systems. Over five years, the researchers will conduct laboratory experiments on ant colonies to study their self-regulation of energy demand and availability under varying conditions. Network models will be developed based on these results to analyze...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $2,999,552 to the University of Nevada, Reno to quantify the phytochemical landscape of indigenous communities through knowledge integration, interaction diversity genomics, and network dynamics from 2022-2026. Key products include the development of an accessible website compiling edited video interviews with Kichwa and Waorani elders on plant-animal networks and interspecies...
