This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $1,500,000 in funding to North Carolina State University (NC State) from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2027. The goal of the project is to establish the fundamental physical and algorithmic building blocks for a bionic sensing system that uses the physiological and behavioral responses of freshwater mussels to monitor and assess surface water quality. Key deliverables include: a)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund a research and training plan to study how climate change-driven increases in temperature affect the bioturbation activities of chironomid larvae and the resulting impacts on nutrient cycling and bacterial activity in freshwater ecosystems, particularly in urban streams in Puerto Rico....
This $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and fellowship activities from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program. The grant funds a postdoctoral fellowship to study the contributions of muscle geometry and physiology to fish swimming performance. The fellow will conduct two studies examining fish axial musculature and its impact on locomotion. Using 3D modeling, in vitro muscle testing, and particle imaging velocimetry, the fellow...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the biogeography and community assembly of North American Carboniferous ecosystems.

This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating microbial interactions across trophic scales and their contributions to host phenotype in a carnivore model. Specifically, the fellow will characterize external microbiomes in soil, water and prey, quantify their contributions to black-footed ferret gut microbiomes, and test whether these...
This $290,422 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant awarded to Washington State University (WSU) will explore how changes in environmental temperature can alter physiological diversity among individual intertidal mussels. The research team will combine experiments on California mussels with comprehensive proteomic analysis to document how individuals differ in their molecular response to environmental fluctuations. The project aims to connect these...
