This $708,697 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from April 2023 through March 2027 to study the evolution of plague resistance in prairie dogs. The university will conduct whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of resistant and susceptible prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of recently evolved resistance. Researchers will then map mutations associated with resistance to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded Northern New Mexico College $111,813 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2027. The research aims to enhance understanding of plague resistance evolution in prairie dog populations. The award will support genomic and transcriptomic analysis of plague-infected prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of resistance....
This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $358,777 Project Grant to the College of William and Mary under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund collaborative research from July 2022 to June 2026. The research aims to advance understanding of how natural selection impacts prions, which are protein-based infectious agents that can cause diseases like mad cow disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities....
This five-year, $490,536 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and education activities to understand how genetic and ecological sources of variation affect host-pathogen dynamics. The principal investigator will conduct field and laboratory experiments to determine how intraspecific variation in pathogen life history traits and host susceptibility influence outcomes of pathogen strain competition and long-term...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $645,180 to North Carolina State University to conduct a collaborative research project titled "OSIB: A Multi-Omic Evaluation of Innate Immune Responses Across Vertebrate Evolution." The research aims to investigate the evolutionary history and functional diversification of the CD300 gene family, which encodes proteins playing crucial roles in immune function and disease...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Are Variants Under Selection for Disease Resistance Predictive of Disease Susceptibility Across Taxa?". The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The grant recipient, performing work in Berkeley, California, will examine whether genetic...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,027,074 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work spanning July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The award will support research examining how natural selection impacts prions, which are proteins that can replicate across generations and in some cases cause disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $371,044 in funding to support research on the evolutionary ecology of leafflower plants and moths. The award will fund four master's students at the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) to study the genetics, microbiology, and biology of leafflower moths that have transitioned from mutualistic to parasitic relationships with their host plants. The project will...
The University of Denver received a $347,848 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) with a start date of June 1, 2024 and an end date of May 31, 2029. The purpose of this grant is to identify the underlying genes and gene interactions that contribute to post-mating trait differences between two closely related species. The research will provide a greater understanding of critical reproductive traits and the evolution of gene...
