The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "A Mechanistic Approach to How the Interaction of Ecology and Evolution Determine the Response of Communities to Temperature" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic research promoting progress in the biological sciences and strengthening understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
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 three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $197,354 will fund research into the effects of nectar microbes on pollination mutualisms. Led by North Carolina State University, the project aims to characterize nectar microbial communities across five wildflower species in the Rocky Mountains. Researchers will study how nectar microbes influence floral odor, nectar chemistry, and visitor behaviors. They will also assess impacts on plant reproduction components. By exploring...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into understanding the impact of microbiomes on plant performance in a warming climate. Led by researchers at Durham, North Carolina, the grant supports a postdoctoral fellow investigating how microbial communities inside and on plant surfaces change at elevated temperatures and the effects on plant health. Using molecular, multi-omic, and mathematical modeling approaches, the fellow will examine simultaneous...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct research on the "Thermal Community Ecology of Disease" over a 2-year period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. This research project under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) seeks to understand how changes in temperature impact the dynamics of infectious diseases within ecological...
This $654,761 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant awarded to the Chicago Horticultural Society's Chicago Botanic Garden division will investigate how bee populations respond to rapid environmental changes. The researchers will use in-situ temperature manipulations and cross-population comparisons to measure the direct and indirect effects of climate change, including impacts mediated through changes in food resources and nest parasites, on vital...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 2026 to March 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project will investigate how changes in temperature and moisture influence thermal physiology across life stages and between tropical and temperate butterfly species. The research aims to improve predictive models of species vulnerability to environmental changes by integrating the...
