This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 over 3 years to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the influence of epigenetic factors, such as DNA methylation, on developmental processes and body size evolution in small marine worms called meiofauna. The research aims to define DNA methylation patterns, examine the role of methylation in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $165,000.00 to fund a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on investigating how early-life adversity drives biological aging. The research will utilize epigenetic clocks to measure biological aging in early and middle adulthood, and assess how life history trade-offs and other mediating factors link early-life adversity to accelerated aging....
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: Quantify how kinship, social status, and reproductive interests shape social relationships within and across primate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) Program award of $160,000 supports an early career researcher investigating the effect of demographic variables on variation within the ancient oral microbiome. The goal is to elucidate how these differences relate to health outcomes in the past. The researcher, under the sponsorship of Dr. Laura Weyrich at the Pennsylvania State University, will use paleodemographic and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program award provides a 3-year, $270,000 postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research on the ecological relationships between plants, animals, and people in Madagascar's forests. The project will use genetic and statistical tools to study species interactions and how they maintain ecosystem stability. The research aims to enhance understanding of how habitat changes affect plants, animals, and human communities, with potential...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a 3-year NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship supports research to understand the biological mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to drought stress and climate variability. The research will examine genetic and phenotypic differences in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) that confer drought tolerance across diverse environmental...
NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: INVESTIGATING THE GENETIC AND ECO-EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS UNDERLYING LIFE HISTORY POLYMORPHISMS was a $138,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers from March 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024. The grant was funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the...
This $499,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on assessing adaptive and maladaptive stress responses in wild capuchin monkeys. The study, led by the University of Michigan, aims to: 1) measure variation in glucocorticoid levels in the monkeys before and after known social and ecological stressors; 2) quantify each individual's unique stress response; 3) determine if these responses are...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) Project Grant under CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences. The 3-year award, commencing on July 1, 2025, supports research and training for a fellow to investigate the origins and evolutionary consequences of phenotypic plasticity in the Mexican spadefoot toad, Spea multiplicata. The research will focus on understanding how environmental conditions influence the transition between omnivore and...
