- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $138,000 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for fiscal years 2022 through 2024. The fellowship funding is awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The fellowship will support research and training to advance understanding of how maternal microbial exposures during development promote tolerance for beneficial microbes and protection...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Fellowship award of $165,000 supports an early career scientist to investigate global variation in the human "estrobolome" and its relationship to lifestyle factors, health, and disease. The estrobolome refers to gut microbes capable of metabolizing estrogens. This research aims to: 1) estimate global variation in estrogen recycling capacities, 2) identify lifestyle factors...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the eco-evolutionary impacts of cyanobacterial diets on host-parasite interactions in freshwater ecosystems. The research aims to uncover the molecular basis for parasite susceptibility in the Daphnia-Metschnikowia host-parasite system and determine...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded $163,856 through its Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to the University of New England on April 10, 2026, for a prospective epidemiological research study examining per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and pregnancy outcomes. The research leverages an existing cohort of reproductive-aged Black women from Detroit, Michigan, to investigate associations between PFAS mixture...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a two-year postdoctoral fellowship to study the relationship between pesticide exposure, social factors, and human biology during childhood. The research will be conducted under the sponsorship of Drs. Elizabeth Mallott and Theresa Gildner at Washington University in St. Louis. The project aims to: 1) examine associations between pesticide exposure, body composition, thyroid function, and gut microbiome during adolescence; 2) identify how environmental factors, such as infrastructure, contribute to differences in exposures and metabolic development; and 3) investigate other environmental exposures, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), that may impact child health beyond pesticides. By advancing the understanding of the social and biological influences on childhood development in the United States, this award will contribute to NSF's mission to promote scientific research and education.
