This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $329,849 to San Diego State University Research Foundation to study factors affecting foraging and provisioning decisions in rapidly changing landscapes. The research will examine how human-modified habitats shape macaque behavior in agricultural intensification contexts and people's...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on studying the impact of sociality on evolution. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in biology. Key components include: Implementing a grant writing workshop to enhance the diversity of postdoctoral scholars in the U.S....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $160,000 Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) grant to an early career scientist for a 2-year project investigating the effects of early life adversity on DNA methylation and gene regulation in rhesus macaques. The goal is to provide a comprehensive systems-wide characterization of how early life adversity impacts DNA methylation patterns across primate physiology, and to assess the...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $115,140 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Stony Brook University. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to uncover the adaptive origins of fossil apes through a multidisciplinary approach. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting fossil primate and other animal specimens through extensive field...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports research and training on the resilience of Asian elephant social systems to environmental and demographic disturbances. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will investigate how genetic and environmental factors influence the structure of elephant social groups using theoretical models and long-term behavioral observations from three geographically isolated elephant populations....
This $452,989 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at California State University, Long Beach to examine the evolutionary demography of rhesus macaques. The project aims to understand how social factors impact individual phenotypes and life history traits in the population over time. Researchers will characterize physical and cognitive traits across macaque lifespans and relate these to social status. They will develop...
This $100,000 National Science Foundation project grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research into the coloration of primate infants and its social and ecological functions. New York University will lead a collaborative effort to create a standardized image database of primate species alongside life history and social data. Researchers will objectively measure the color of hundreds of primate infants from over 80 species throughout development using calibrated...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship examining social interdependence in primate species. The research, conducted by an early-career scientist under the sponsorship of Drs. Joan Silk and Jason Kamilar at Arizona State University, aims to:

  1. Quantify how kinship, social status, and reproductive interests shape social relationships within and across primate populations;
  2. Analyze changes in social network structure in response to ecological and social factors; and
  3. Develop models linking social network variation to demographic, ecological, and social variables.

By combining detailed longitudinal behavioral data from multiple primate field studies, this project seeks to advance understanding of the evolutionary drivers behind varied social structures, including the emergence of "multi-level societies" in some primate taxa. The resulting dataset and analytical approaches are expected to have broader applications for primate research, teaching, and scientific methods development.
