This $269,173 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding collaborative research at Stanford University to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during speciation in swordtail fish. The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers and impact hybrid fitness, including examining how these incompatibilities...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Parallel Genome and Phenome Evolution within and across Fish Species" from December 2021 through November 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major challenges. Through this two-year award,...
This $291,710 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports an integrative structural and functional study to dissect the regulatory mechanisms of ciliary motility. The project aims to enhance the understanding of motile cilia and flagella, cellular structures responsible for the locomotion of many single-celled eukaryotes and the movement of fluids in multi-cellular organisms. The study will focus on investigating the...
This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $980,000 Project Grant to The Washington University to support research examining neuronal plasticity and the evolvability of behavior through September 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award will allow researchers to test the hypothesis that activity-dependent wiring changes in response to altered sensory feedback drive coordinated modifications between peripheral organs...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $144,582 Project Grant to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research. The grant, titled "MCA: The Neural and Genetic Architecture Underlying Lateral Line Evolution and Development in Cavefish", aims to better understand how sensory systems evolve by linking genetics and neuroscience research on the blind Mexican cavefish. The research will investigate the neurophysiology and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $744,781 provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during the formation of new species in swordtail fish (Xiphophorus). The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers in hybridizing populations, leading to the development of new...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $569,812 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System to study the genetic mechanisms underlying repeated evolution of adaptations to extreme cave environments in certain species of fish. The research will employ cutting-edge sequencing and comparative genomics techniques to identify genetic variations associated with cave-adapted traits in three species of cavefish and their surface relatives. Functional...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $450,000 project grant to Michigan State University (MSU) to develop and analyze the motion of magnetically driven, sperm-like soft microrobots in nanofiber fluid suspensions with properties analogous to cervical mucus. The research aims to address key scientific and technological challenges in designing robotic systems for efficient swimming and maneuvering in biological fluids. The...
