This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support a collaborative research project to investigate the aero-structural dynamics of feathered wings in flapping flight. The $251,622 award, effective from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027, will enable researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to develop first-of-their-kind computational models that incorporate the complex vortex-dominated flows,...
This Project Grant award, valued at $490,565, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. The award, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, aims to investigate the unique aerodynamic and aero-structural properties of feathered wings in flapping flight. The research will combine experiments on isolated feathers and groups of feathers, computational modeling, and observations...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The 3-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, aims to unlock critical new knowledge about auditory resilience and susceptibility to anthropogenic (human-generated) noise. The research team, with expertise in animal bioacoustics, auditory neuroscience, neuroanatomy, and sensory ecology, will investigate the neural...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to Cornell University totals $421,321 and runs from January 15, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant funds research to investigate the function of acoustic fine structure (AFS) in natural zebra finch communication, with the goal of better understanding the perceptual abilities and communicative behaviors of birds compared to humans. Key research activities include: (1) determining whether perception...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $574,372 provides funding from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 to develop and test a new acoustic monitoring method for remotely estimating animal population sizes under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The University of New Hampshire will use sound to track population changes over time for Adélie penguins and gray bats. The goals are to reduce hands-on effort for counting animals, increase the frequency...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $1,533,393 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The project will study the impact of road traffic noise, particularly substrate-borne vibrations, on spider behavior and ecology. Key activities include: Measuring air- and substrate-borne noise levels in the field to map noise impacts in national parks. Conducting laboratory...
This $1.1 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Oregon Health & Science University from September 2022 through August 2026 to study the mechanisms of neuron excitability for vocalizations in songbirds. The researchers will focus on the electrical properties of cells in well-studied brain regions involved in fine motor skills for song production. They...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research linking biomechanics to neurobiology in bird flight. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will enable study of how coordinated bird flight emerges from visual motion processing. The grant aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems by supporting basic research from September 2021 to August 2023 in Missoula, Montana.
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028 supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the sensorimotor behavioral dynamics of echolocating bats during collective flight. The research will analyze the echolocation sounds and flight behaviors of multiple bat species to understand how they dynamically adjust their echolocation in the presence of other bats. This work aims to...
