- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $616,108 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of South Florida (USF) to conduct collaborative research on the spatio-temporal repeatability of co-evolution between Tasmanian devils and their transmissible cancer. The 4-year project, awarded on August 15, 2023 and scheduled to conclude on July 31, 2027, aims to determine whether the genetic pathways underlying adaptive changes in Tasmanian devils and...
- This $708,697 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from April 2023 through March 2027 to study the evolution of plague resistance in prairie dogs. The university will conduct whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of resistant and susceptible prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of recently evolved resistance. Researchers will then map mutations associated with resistance to...
- This $380,406 federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training program), will support a 5-year research project at the University of Arizona investigating the evolutionary effects of emerging diseases on host populations. The project will leverage natural experiments in the Galapagos Islands to study how avian host species, such as Darwin's finches and Galapagos mockingbirds, adapt to novel...
- This four-year, $148,875 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research to understand the evolution of plague resistance in prairie dogs. The awardee, Navajo Technical University, will conduct whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of resistant and susceptible prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of recently evolved plague resistance. Researchers will then map...
- This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
- This $285,014 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to better understand the evolutionary drivers behind the diverse phenotypes (appearances) observed in a species of poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius. The research aims to identify the genetic factors responsible for these phenotypic differences and characterize the demographic structure of D. tinctorius populations to explore the interplay between...
- This $1.74 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research into the transmission and evolution of anthrax infection dynamics comparing two natural systems. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the primary awardee and will receive $1.74M over a two-year period from January 2021 through November 2022. Subawards totaling $350,000 will support related work at the University of Maine, University of Pretoria in South Africa, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Are Variants Under Selection for Disease Resistance Predictive of Disease Susceptibility Across Taxa?". The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The grant recipient, performing work in Berkeley, California, will examine whether genetic...
- This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
- This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes through June 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables a postdoctoral fellowship in biology at North Carolina State University to examine patterns of natural selection in gray wolf populations within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. By combining genomic and epigenetic...
