This $203,088 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Asian Elephant Conservation Fund (CFDA# 15.621), supports a five-year research initiative led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY). The project aims to: 1) complete elephant personality profiles and assess the efficacy of targeted personality-based human-elephant conflict (HEC) mitigation methods in and around Thailand's Salakpra Wildlife...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on studying the impact of sociality on evolution. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in biology. Key components include: Implementing a grant writing workshop to enhance the diversity of postdoctoral scholars in the U.S....
This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 funds a postdoctoral research fellowship from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The project will investigate the "escalator to extinction" - the process by which montane specialist species shift their distributions to higher elevations in response to warming climates, potentially leading to mountain top extinctions. The research will use a combination of analyzing long-term...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program Project Grant award of $270,000 will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on quantifying how savanna tree species in Africa allocate resources to growth, defense, and storage in response to changes in rainfall and herbivory. The research aims to (1) characterize species-specific carbon allocation strategies, (2) model how these strategies influence population-level responses to environmental changes,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to enhance understanding of human-wildlife interactions in the face of global change, with a focus on birds worldwide. The fellow will develop a new modeling framework and global database to predict human-wildlife interactions and determine key drivers....
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters awarded a $316,640 Project Grant to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York under the Asian Elephant Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.621) program. The grant supports research from October 2021 through December 2025 to study elephant behavior in Thailand and develop conflict mitigation tools. Through two subawards totaling $80,193 to the Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation, the grant funds four...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
