- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $210,700 Project Grant to Gonzaga University for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: MULTILEVEL EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON WILDLIFE HEALTH: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant, which runs from July 15, 2023, to June 30, 2026, focuses on studying the effects of urbanization on the health of the western deer mouse, a species found in both urban and rural habitats. The researchers will...
- The University of Denver, through a $382,324.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting collaborative research to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interaction between parasitic botflies and high-elevation deer mice. The research aims to determine whether botflies will expand into higher elevations as the climate warms, and how this may negatively...
- This $714,816 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Washington from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in urban areas impact the trophic and disease dynamics of carnivore populations. Specifically, the project will examine links between toxicant exposure, altered diets, and disease risk for urban carnivores in...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genomic basis of rapid urban adaptation in house mice. The $240,000 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027, will enable the fellow to: 1) characterize temporal shifts in urban mouse population structure and genetic diversity, and 2) identify genomic signatures of rapid adaptation to urban...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $716,280 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. The grant funds a collaborative research project to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interactions between parasitic botfly larvae and high-elevation deer mice populations. The research aims to develop predictive models for how novel host-parasite dynamics may evolve under shifting environmental...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Hamilton College received a $502,863 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028. The award supports a three-year research project investigating indirect ecological interactions between white-tailed deer and rodent populations in Northeastern U.S. forests. The primary deliverable is empirical research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of South Carolina (USC) to support the Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center (PGSC) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The PGSC maintains and distributes genetically diverse deer mice (genus Peromyscus) to researchers worldwide, including academic institutions and federal agencies, for studies in ecology, evolution, genetics, physiology, public health,...
- Summary of Federal Project Grant Award The University of Montana Western received a $350,721 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028. This research initiative investigates the mechanisms of environmental transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting cervid populations in southwest...
- This $484,370 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the challenges of living small for diminutive mammals. The Field Museum of Natural History will leverage the taxonomic diversity of shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and solenodons to quantify selective pressures on vertebral bone strength and stiffness at small sizes. Researchers will use 3D imaging, computer modeling, and physical testing to assess how lumbar spines have...
The National Science Foundation, under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded Carroll College a $179,949 Project Grant to study the multilevel effects of urbanization on the health of the western deer mouse. This 3-year research project aims to identify the key factors that impact wildlife health in urban areas, as the deer mouse inhabits both urban and rural environments. Researchers will collect data on habitat characteristics and mouse health metrics, such as immune function and stress, along an urbanization gradient near Spokane, Washington. The findings will inform conservation and habitat restoration efforts in the face of increasing urbanization. The project also provides interdisciplinary research training to undergraduate students across three institutions and develops hands-on research activities to integrate into university courses.
