The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $802,385 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Massachusetts, through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, for a 4-year research project. The project aims to examine the feedback between the physiological performance and social foraging behavior of wintering songbird populations. The research will: (1) quantify the effects of physiological variation on social network stability; (2)...
This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the relationship between environmental variation and the evolution of cooperative social groups in Australian birds. The project will leverage citizen science data and field experiments to understand how factors like temperature, rainfall, and land use impact group size...
This $678,895 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Oregon State University to measure the real-time energy and fitness costs of metabolic and behavioral strategies employed by songbirds during inclement weather. Funded through the Biological Sciences program under the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, the five-year award beginning July 2023 will quantify how weather duration, type and severity influence songbird behavioral responses and metabolic costs. It...
This $647,709 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research conducted by the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to study interindividual variation in acclimatization capacity and its impact on animal populations' responsiveness to climate change. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify patterns of physiological flexibility in the dark-eyed junco songbird across a temperature variability gradient; (2)...
This $1.6 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research from 2023-2026 titled "Using Continent-Wide Participatory Science to Model the Dynamic Outcomes for Humans and Birds in a Socio-Environmental System." The grant recipient, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, will partner with Cornell University, The Ohio State University, and the University of Georgia Research Foundation to engage over...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This $1.1 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Oregon Health & Science University from September 2022 through August 2026 to study the mechanisms of neuron excitability for vocalizations in songbirds. The researchers will focus on the electrical properties of cells in well-studied brain regions involved in fine motor skills for song production. They...
The University of South Alabama received a $185,775 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct research on the neural mechanisms regulating photostimulation of migratory physiology and behavior in songbirds. The project aims to identify the neural pathways that process seasonal photoperiod cues to control the complex physiological and behavioral changes necessary to support spring migration in migratory birds. The...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
