This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) award (CFDA 47.075) provides $170,000 over 2 years to support an early career researcher's investigation into language change and honorific systems. The project, conducted under the sponsorship of Prof. Eric W. Campbell at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will document and describe the rapidly shifting honorific system in an endangered language community. The...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) award of $160,000 supports an early career scientist investigating how to increase representation of underrepresented groups in tenure-track STEM faculty positions. The research will examine whether the defaults (i.e., commonly held beliefs about required attributes) emphasized in academic job ads impact applicant motivations and faculty endorsement of ads. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program project grant, awarded to The Pennsylvania State University, will reconstruct the history of the human oral microbiome on a global scale. The $499,996 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, aims to understand the evolutionary mechanisms that drive human microbiome diversity. The project will explore how bacterial species and microbial communities have adapted or disappeared from the human microbiome...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $450,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. Penn State will reconstruct ancient human microbiomes and analyze shifts in oral microbial communities that accompanied changes in diet, environment, and human interactions over the past 1,000 years. The university will sequence ancient DNA from calcified dental plaque to identify...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral researcher investigating how to improve the ability to understand the deep history of population health from evidence in the archaeological record. The project aims to develop and use cutting-edge computational methods, including generative modeling and Bayesian inference, to test the accuracy of current analytical methods in...
This NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $137,000 to support research and training for an early-career scientist. The project aims to investigate the role of gut microbiomes in helping herbivorous hosts, such as snowshoe hares and greater sage-grouse, tolerate toxins found in their plant-based diets. The research will use multi-omics approaches to determine the microbial...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $298,025 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to investigate the progression of dental wear and dental senescence over a 50-year simulated chewing period. The study will employ a mechanical chewing simulator and analysis techniques to measure changes in dental function, occlusal topography, microstructure, and elemental composition of...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $138,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2025 to support research investigating the role of host-associated microbes in plant responses to global environmental stressors such as drought. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will advance understanding of microbial influences on host acclimation, adaptation, and population persistence under changing...
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...
