This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how urbanization influences the diet, physiology, and behavior of raccoons in the San Francisco Bay Area. The research will examine functional links among the raccoons' diet, gut microbiome, infection status, and behavior in urban and non-urban areas. By integrating molecular, ecological, and behavioral approaches, the...
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 from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $378,135 to fund research linking social-environmental health to the trophic and disease dynamics of urban carnivores. The grant supports a three-year collaborative research project ending September 2025 between the University of California, Berkeley and the State of California. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in cities similarly affect urban carnivore...
This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports postdoctoral research on the evolution of eastern gray squirrels in urban environments from July 2021 to June 2023. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the fellowship will analyze how urbanization impacts the genetics and behaviors of eastern gray...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $247,406 Project Grant to the University of Portland to conduct collaborative research on the multilevel effects of urbanization on wildlife health. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: MULTILEVEL EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON WILDLIFE HEALTH: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH", will study the impact of urban habitats on the health of the western deer mouse, a species found in both urban and rural...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how organismal ecology affects the distribution of lead pollution in various ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered through this award include: Generating an extensive dataset on lead bioaccumulation in birds from the Great Lakes region using museum...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 provides funding from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2029 for a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will study the introduced parrot populations of Southern California as a natural experiment to understand how quickly bird species can adapt to new urban environments. The research aims to quantify the physical, behavioral, and genetic changes in these parrot populations...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
