This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $535,465 to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) for a collaborative research project titled "Biodesign: A Deep Dive into Dynamic Damping in Extreme Underwater Maneuvering". The primary goal is to investigate how fish achieve rapid maneuvers that exceed the capabilities of advanced robotic systems, focusing on the hypothesis that fish can dynamically modulate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will investigate how interactions among individual coral reef fishes drive ecosystem-scale function in coral reef environments. The research will integrate field and laboratory studies to uncover the relationship between individual behavioral...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
This $644,498 award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at Rutgers, The State University to contribute new knowledge related to multi-agent autonomous systems. The project aims to uncover the feedback principles governing visuomotor control dynamics in fish schools to provide a blueprint for achieving full autonomy in artificial systems. The research involves gaining insights on individual fish navigation principles, understanding the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $273,024 to the University of the South (Sewanee) will support research investigating how early competitive social interactions affect the development of the stress response in fish. The project aims to examine whether competitive experiences early in life carry over to influence how individuals behaviorally and hormonally cope with stressors later in life. The funding will enable the principal...
This $245,860 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research by Providence College to investigate how fish achieve rapid, highly maneuverable underwater movements. The research focuses on testing the hypothesis that fish dynamically modulate their body damping (resistance to bending speed) and stiffness to enable these extreme maneuvers, which surpass even state-of-the-art robotic systems. Through a combination...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the behavioral and physiological mechanisms of buoyancy regulation in bony fishes. The 3-year fellowship, starting on July 1, 2025, will support research that aims to reveal fundamental information about how fishes maintain homeostasis and interact with their environment, as well as...
This $423,626 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports a research project at Montclair State University to investigate the neurobiology of cognition and emotion in teleost (bony) fish. The key objectives are to: 1) Refine a behavioral paradigm to study associative emotional learning in zebrafish and visualize the functional connectivity of activated neurons in the amygdala and forebrain; and 2) Implement spatial...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
