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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $827,019 to the University of Massachusetts to develop models and algorithms for inferring bird population movements from citizen science data. Leveraging billions of bird observations from the eBird citizen science project, the awardee will create computational tools to simulate migratory routes and produce movement...
This federal Project Grant award of $240,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The research project will investigate the evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance migration in shorebirds, an extreme biological adaptation to seasonality. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in migratory adaptation and evaluate the influence of...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird species....
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate environmental and genomic regulation of molt in birds. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise. The grantee will conduct integrative research to understand the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes that govern molting...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Morphological Drivers and Effects of Long-Distance Bird Migration" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $645,270 to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) to conduct research aimed at informing full annual cycle conservation of migratory birds in the Appalachian Mountains region. The project will leverage emerging technologies like remote sensing, radar, and machine learning to map stopover habitat use and forest structure characteristics that...
The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $779,001 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) on May 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year research study examining the adaptive benefits of daylight availability and the photoperiodism of transhemispheric migratory birds. The research aims to determine if longer summer daylight at higher latitudes accelerates parental provisioning and offspring growth...
