This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000.00 in funding from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029 to study the rapid adaptation of introduced parrot populations in Southern California. The research aims to use these introduced parrot species as a natural experiment to understand how organisms adapt to new urban environments, which is highly relevant as urbanization continues to modify environments...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,179 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 by the University of California Santa Cruz. The research will examine how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to Cornell University totals $421,321 and runs from January 15, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant funds research to investigate the function of acoustic fine structure (AFS) in natural zebra finch communication, with the goal of better understanding the perceptual abilities and communicative behaviors of birds compared to humans. Key research activities include: (1) determining whether perception...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate environmental and genomic regulation of molt in birds. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise. The grantee will conduct integrative research to understand the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes that govern molting...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $484,536 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to Colorado State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support research examining how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in extreme high-altitude...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) totaling $329,069 aims to investigate the potential role of migratory songbirds as pollinators in North America. The research will focus on addressing three key questions: 1) What bird characteristics or environmental factors are associated with pollen presence on songbirds? 2) Are particular plant characteristics linked to higher probabilities of flower-foraging and pollen-carrying by songbirds? 3)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The project aims to integrate historical museum collections and avian conservation genomics to understand how bird species in California have responded to past environmental changes and forecast their vulnerability to future climate change. The research will develop a framework for incorporating...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $298,529 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Colorado State University. The grant, titled "EAGER: Harnessing Citizen Science to Disentangle the Social and Ecological Drivers of Urban Biodiversity," aims to explore how socioeconomic factors affect biodiversity in cities. The research will analyze data from citizen science projects like eBird to identify and quantify biases related to socioeconomic status,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to study thermoregulatory evolution of hummingbirds using urban heat islands. Over a three-year period from June 2024 through May 2027, the fellow will investigate how urban heat is affecting the evolution of complex thermoregulatory traits and genetic divergence in hummingbirds across four cities located along a latitudinal gradient. The fellow will measure...
