Project Grant 2337107
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
- This $439,396 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University from September 2022 to August 2025 to develop a model microbial consortium for interrogating organic matter decomposition and carbon cycling in coastal systems under changing environmental conditions. Researchers will integrate field, laboratory, and modeling work to examine the functional roles and responses to temperature variation of diverse...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) amounting to $138,000 will fund research identifying areas of high biological risk and predicting the impact of climate change on genetic diversity distribution. Awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant will support the grantee located in Merced, California in advancing the program's goals of strengthening the Nation's biological science enterprise and increasing scientific knowledge of...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research titled "Untangling the Roles of Genetic and Regulatory Mechanisms in Adaptive Evolutionary Responses to Climate Change." The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological science knowledge and understanding of major national challenges. The grant will fund postdoctoral fellowship research from March 2022 through February 2024 in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct research on the "Thermal Community Ecology of Disease" over a 2-year period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. This research project under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) seeks to understand how changes in temperature impact the dynamics of infectious diseases within ecological...
- 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 $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "A Mechanistic Approach to How the Interaction of Ecology and Evolution Determine the Response of Communities to Temperature" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic research promoting progress in the biological sciences and strengthening understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
- The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska was awarded a $918,907 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. This funding supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to evaluate the effect of predation on thermal adaptation in response to climate change. Specifically, the University of Nebraska will subject genetically diverse populations of Paramecium species to predation risk and warming, then...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year project will use microcosm experiments and mathematical models to quantify intraspecific variation in thermal performance curves, evolution of thermal performance curves under warming, and the influence of competition and predation on thermal performance curve evolution within a simplified aquatic microbial food web. This effort is expected to advance knowledge in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology while also broadening participation of students from diverse backgrounds.
