The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) received a $474,300 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from June 15, 2023 through May 31, 2026. The award will support NJIT's research efforts to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between approximately 130 species of snapping shrimp in the genus Synalpheus worldwide using phylogenomic and...
This $188,363 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research by Trustees of Boston University to investigate why breeding individuals in animal social groups tolerate non-breeding members. The 5-year project will use the clown anemonefish as a model system, combining laboratory experiments, field work, and molecular genetics to evaluate hypotheses about the potential benefits to breeding pairs of living in larger groups. The research aims...
This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University (NC State) to investigate the genetic and regulatory mechanisms underlying developmental evolution in marine annelid species. The project combines comparative genomics, gene expression, and hybridization assays to uncover the relationship between evolutionary divergence and development, with the goal of understanding how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $582,629 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 4-year grant aims to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within the extremely diverse order of crustacean animals known as Peracarida. The project will leverage a target capture phylogenomic approach, including the generation of 3 new genomes and 50 new...
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...
This $115,936 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research on the evolutionary history and species delineations of coronuloid barnacles (arthropod crustaceans) that are epizoic with marine megafauna like sea turtles and whales. The key research objectives are to: 1) construct a phylogeny mapping the evolutionary chronology of barnacle attachment mechanisms (gluing, gripping, gouging); 2) compare global...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,419,596 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The grant aims to identify the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity - the ability of organisms to change their physical traits in response to environmental changes. Specifically, the research will study genetic variation underlying the spectacular carnivore larval morph in Mexican spadefoot toads, which is...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,022,535.00 to George Washington University will fund a research project on the phylogenomics and evolution of sexual systems in barnacles. The key products will be: A robust phylogenetic framework for all known barnacle species, which will be integrated into online resources like the Open Tree of Life. This will provide a much-needed evolutionary context for studying the diverse...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $679,192 Project Grant to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to study the genomic basis of evolutionary innovations in squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). The research will compile comprehensive phenotypic data for 370 living and fossil squamate species, build a database of complete genomes representing over 90% of living squamate families, and use comparative genomics and phylogenetics to reveal the molecular changes associated with...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New College of Florida in the amount of $590,677 on March 15, 2025, is funding a collaborative research project focused on understanding marine invertebrate microbiome assembly, diversification, and coevolution. The key objectives are to: 1) assess how and why particular microbes are hosted by marine invertebrates, 2) determine whether microbial diversity is related to host diversity, and 3)...
