This National Science Foundation project grant of $184,647 supports research on understanding variation in patterns of aging in primates through an integrative comparative approach. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year award to Arizona State University will analyze biological aging trajectories and individual differences across the lifespan using a longitudinal dataset of over 100 wild-living non-human primates. Key products include...
The National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering awarded a $146,000 Project Grant to Brooklyn, NY from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. The grant funds a study titled "Effects of Early Life Adversity on the Pace of Aging in Rhesus Macaques." Under the grant, the grantee will examine how early life stress impacts the rate of aging in rhesus macaques. The research aims to advance understanding of accelerated aging processes using the NSF's Office of...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $670,324 project grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The 5-year grant, commencing on Sep 15, 2024 and ending on Aug 31, 2029, aims to study the social modifiers of lifespan in primates. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Developing a Bayesian life-history model to estimate lifespan for over 70 primate species, creating the largest database of primate...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $418,364 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) to conduct a comprehensive study on lifespan and healthspan factors in nonhuman primates (NHPs). The objectives are to: Generate sex-specific lifespan and age-at-death distributions for 11 biomedically-relevant NHP species to understand the influence of energetic trade-offs on longevity. Identify shared and species-specific patterns of biological...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a study on the evolutionary origins of longevity in great apes. The $1,574,518 grant, awarded on September 15, 2024, will be used by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, Inc. to investigate how early life adversity influences lifespan and frailty in wild chimpanzee and gorilla populations. The study leverages over 170 years of detailed demographic and health data on approximately 400...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $687,288 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct comparative analyses of somatic mutational processes in primates across lifespans. The project aims to characterize somatic mutational landscapes and clonal dynamics in aging tissues across primate species with diverse lifespans, using advanced sequencing techniques like NanoSeq and PacBio. The research will generate a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $115,140 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Stony Brook University. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to uncover the adaptive origins of fossil apes through a multidisciplinary approach. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting fossil primate and other animal specimens through extensive field...
This $100,000 National Science Foundation project grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research into the coloration of primate infants and its social and ecological functions. New York University will lead a collaborative effort to create a standardized image database of primate species alongside life history and social data. Researchers will objectively measure the color of hundreds of primate infants from over 80 species throughout development using calibrated...
This $452,989 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at California State University, Long Beach to examine the evolutionary demography of rhesus macaques. The project aims to understand how social factors impact individual phenotypes and life history traits in the population over time. Researchers will characterize physical and cognitive traits across macaque lifespans and relate these to social status. They will develop...
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...
