This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the role of phenotypic plasticity in enabling population persistence in novel environments. The $240,000 award, spanning 3 years from September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a genomic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize the mechanisms of environmental assessment and how they vary across...
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 $652,785 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how copepod populations, which are vital to commercial fisheries, can evolve in response to climate change-driven salinity changes in coastal environments. The research team from The Ohio State University will examine the evolution of osmoregulatory functions and ion transporter genes in copepods to determine how they can adapt to rapid salinity...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 to support research investigating the genomics of local adaptation of larval settlement in the marine invertebrate Ectopleura crocea. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of advancing biological sciences knowledge and understanding major challenges. The fellow will conduct laboratory and field experiments...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $240,000 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolution of ion transporter function in response to climate-driven salinity declines. The research will be conducted by a fellow and will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, which seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing interactions between...
NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: ADAPTATION ALONG A THERMAL GRADIENT IN THE HOLOPELAGIC CTENOPHORE, MNEMIOPSIS LEIDYI This $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research into adaptation along a thermal gradient in the holopelagic ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, as part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA #47.074). The two-year award running from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024 will support the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2025 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship funding will support research and training focused on investigating the genomics, heat shock proteins, and climate change adaptations of desert-adapted asiloid fly species. The fellow will sequence genomes of asiloid fly groups to create a foundational dataset for further genomic studies. Identification...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $339,172 to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) for a 2-year research project on the copepod microbiome and its role in thermal resilience. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) determining the microbial composition of the southernmost North American population of the copepod Acartia tonsa and how it varies across...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the genetic basis of heat tolerance in the ecologically important giant kelp species (Macrocystis pyrifera). The 3-year project aims to: (1) determine if warming events are associated with genetic signatures of population decline in giant kelp, (2) identify adaptive genetic variants that contribute...
