This National Science Foundation project grant of $417,856 supports research on understanding variation in primate aging patterns through March 2026. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to Stony Brook University will couple a longitudinal dataset on over 100 wild non-human primates with physiology, medical imaging, molecular, and comparative methods. The research aims to identify the trajectory of aging across the life course regarding...
This $670,324 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) will support a research project titled "Social Modifiers of Primate Lifespan" at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) Leverage the researchers' Bayesian life-history model, primate social network database, and epigenetic aging clock to estimate lifespans across over 70 primate species; 2)...
This Project Grant award, totaling $418,364.00, was issued by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study on lifespan and biological aging across multiple nonhuman primate (NHP) species. The key objectives are: Generate the most accurate sex-specific lifespan and age-at-death distributions for 11 biomedically-relevant NHP species, and test the influence of factors like body size, age at reproductive...
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...
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 $1,574,518 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a 5-year study investigating the influences of early life adversity on lifespan and individual frailty in wild chimpanzee and gorilla populations. The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, Inc. will lead this mixed prospective and longitudinal study, leveraging 170 years of detailed demographic and early life adversity data from approximately 400 wild chimpanzees and 485 wild...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $687,288 will fund a comparative analysis of somatic mutational processes across primate species with diverse lifespans. The primary awardee, the University of California, Berkeley, will collaborate with researchers at the University of Cambridge and Wellcome Sanger Institute to: Generate a comprehensive atlas of somatic mutation rates, signatures, and clonal dynamics across 10 tissue...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship examining social interdependence in primate species. The research, conducted by an early-career scientist under the sponsorship of Drs. Joan Silk and Jason Kamilar at Arizona State University, aims to: Quantify how kinship, social status, and reproductive interests shape social relationships within and across primate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, totaling $1,177,451, will support research characterizing rates and patterns of mutation and recombination in Old and New World monkeys. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award to Arizona State University from February 2021 through January 2026 will promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
