- This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $803,697 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Rapid Evolution and Species Coexistence in an Orchard Fly System" from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2029. The research aims to measure how rapid evolution of orchard flies in response to competition determines their traits, competitive outcomes, and ability to...
- This Project Grant award of $399,831.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Division of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas. The award will fund research to develop new statistical solutions for understanding the evolutionary and ecological mechanisms driving variation across individuals, populations, and species. This effort aims to synergize evolutionary biology and statistical learning to tackle unanswered questions in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $229,210 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) project grant to the University of Mississippi. The grant titled "Surveying Impacts of Community Context on Adaptive Mutational Landscapes" will run from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025. The project aims to examine how community context alters species evolution using new techniques in whole-genome analyses. It will bridge the fields of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,986,439 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The grant, titled "RAMP: MAKING MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS: FOSTERING THE INTEGRATION OF BIODIVERSITY PATTERNS WITH GENETIC EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS (BIOGEM)", will support a multi-year research and training program focused on understanding organismal responses...
- This $354,416 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to advance scientific understanding of how symbiotic co-evolution influences the evolution of complexity, and develop novel problem-solving algorithms inspired by symbiotic co-evolutionary dynamics. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) conducting digital evolution experiments to study how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Purdue University a Project Grant of $216,786 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a scoping event focused on "Leveraging Innovations from Evolution" (LIFE). The in-person session, held from August 14-16, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana, will bring together experts across evolutionary biology, systematics, development, molecular biology, biochemistry, and genomics. The goals are to: 1) bridge disciplinary gaps, 2) identify research challenges and opportunities in evolutionary innovation and convergent evolution, 3) articulate needs, strategies, and recommendations for transdisciplinary convergence research, and 4) collect input to explore research areas leveraging evolutionary innovation to support the bioeconomy. Key outputs will include a series of participant-authored white papers and a synthesis report. This grant reflects NSF's mission to promote biological sciences research that strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise.
