This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to mechanistically examine aging dynamics across insect life stages and tissues. The $614,175 award from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 will investigate how insect metamorphosis and overwintering dormancy (diapause) influence cellular senescence and organismal lifespan. The research aims to provide new...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research titled "A Novel Model System for Studying the Evolution and Genomics of Longevity" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The two-year award will fund the development of a new model organism to advance understanding of longevity through the study of evolution and genomics. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the...
This $1,120,270 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research into the social and ecological drivers of life history evolution in wild bees. Principal investigator Utah State University will conduct three sets of experiments to investigate how wild bees allocate resources between immunity, reproduction, and longevity as a function of variation in their social and ecological environments. The research aims to determine...
This $626,680 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from January 2024 through December 2026. The research aims to understand the mechanistic, functional, and evolutionary bases of slow-fast phenotypic diversity and its significance in social honeybee groups. Investigators will study genetic lines of honeybees bred for low and high metabolic rates to understand fundamental differences. A...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $184,647 supports research on understanding variation in patterns of aging in primates through an integrative comparative approach. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year award to Arizona State University will analyze biological aging trajectories and individual differences across the lifespan using a longitudinal dataset of over 100 wild-living non-human primates. Key products include...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $417,856 supports research on understanding variation in primate aging patterns through March 2026. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to Stony Brook University will couple a longitudinal dataset on over 100 wild non-human primates with physiology, medical imaging, molecular, and comparative methods. The research aims to identify the trajectory of aging across the life course regarding...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from July 2024 to June 2027. The fellowship will investigate how honeybee swarms utilize local information to adapt their internal and external structures in response to environmental perturbations such as wind, rain, and temperature changes. The research will involve experimental studies using X-ray...
The federal Project Grant award R01AG086692 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Brandeis University. The $331,187 award will fund a 4-year study to understand the role of retrotransposon activity in aging and age-related phenotypes using the Drosophila model system. The goals of the project are to characterize a Drosophila system to determine whether transposon activity is a cause or effect of the aging process. This...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,099,733 project grant to the University of Arizona under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate neural stem cell mechanisms of resilience across the lifespan. Over a four-year period ending August 2026, the university will study how neural stem cells change at the cellular, molecular, and functional levels over time using aging rodent models. The project will specifically examine the role of female sex hormones estrogen and...
This $312,900 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to identify the genetic basis of extraordinary lifespan in a model organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The 5-year project aims to: (1) discover the genetic variants responsible for longevity in a naturally occurring long-lived C. elegans isolate, (2) analyze how natural variation affects lifespan and develop tissue-specific "aging...
