This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the history and evolution of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (BD). The research aims to: Develop new genetic tools to selectively sequence DNA from BD and its amphibian hosts, even in highly contaminated and fragmented samples. Use these new genetic tools to genotype BD...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral research fellowship exploring the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. The fellowship will fund integrative research from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2026 investigating how genetics, environments, and microbiomes contribute to emergent host phenotypes in green frog tadpoles. Specifically, the fellow...
This $240,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of amphibian skin microbiomes in limiting the growth of deadly fungal pathogens. The research aims to explore the mechanisms by which certain skin microbes inhibit the fungal agents responsible for amphibian population declines, and to pilot the use of "antifungal probiotics" to protect...

The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct experiments and genomic sequencing to determine how temperature affects interactions between the tree hole...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under CFDA 47.074 (Biological Sciences) will support a 3-year research project investigating how temperature influences the evolution of mating signal complexity in jumping spiders across North America. The $240,000 award will fund the fellow's research and training, which will integrate physiological experiments, behavioral trials, and evolutionary analyses to examine how temperature impacts the production and...
Colorado State University was awarded a $121,120 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. The award will support research to test the mechanisms and consequences of an adaptive response to a catastrophic fire and heatwave in stream frogs. Specifically, the researchers will measure physiological, genetic, and other changes that...
This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
