The University of Denver received a $347,848 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) with a start date of June 1, 2024 and an end date of May 31, 2029. The purpose of this grant is to identify the underlying genes and gene interactions that contribute to post-mating trait differences between two closely related species. The research will provide a greater understanding of critical reproductive traits and the evolution of gene networks. The project will also provide quantitative training for undergraduate STEM majors at the University of Denver, including classroom experiences analyzing biological data, improving problem-solving skills, basic programming, and interrogating biological complexity. These educational resources and tools will be widely disseminated to contribute to improved quantitative biology curriculum.
