- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 to fund research investigating gene regulatory network evolution across 13 species of roundworms. The fellowship award supports a postdoctoral researcher from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The researcher will use single-cell sequencing to build molecular atlases of embryonic development for each roundworm species, comparing gene expression patterns across tissues and...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $270,000 awarded on October 1, 2025 will fund a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the genetic program responsible for segment formation and the environmental factors influencing segment addition in annelid worms. The research project aims to identify the genes involved in annelid segmentation, which remains poorly understood compared to segmentation in other organisms like insects...
- This $324,751 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research at Western Washington University (WWU) to investigate how neural circuits integrate and reconcile opposing sensory signals to drive behavioral responses in the nematode C. elegans. The project aims to utilize advanced genetic and microscopy techniques to visualize neural activity and identify the cellular mechanisms involved in this signal integration and learning process. Key...
- This $560,000 five-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to investigate the role of neuron-neuron communication in the post-mitotic maturation of neurons during postnatal development. The research, conducted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham, will leverage advanced genetics, behavioral assays, microscopy, and genomics tools to study the molecular and functional maturation of neurons in the model organism...
- This three-year, two hundred forty thousand dollar project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the evolution of endocrine and behavioral phenotypes in recently diverged stickleback fish populations. The fellow will compare differences in neural hormone sensitivity, hormone production pathways, and conduct functional genetic tests to uncover how novel parental care behaviors emerge within and between populations...
- This Project Grant award of $639,298 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a collaborative research project titled "A Legacy of Parental Experiences: The Role of Conflicting Maternal and Paternal Cues on the Evolution of Transgenerational Plasticity." The project uses theoretical models and laboratory experiments to investigate how offspring respond to differing maternal and paternal environmental cues, and whether...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $980,000 Project Grant to The Washington University to support research examining neuronal plasticity and the evolvability of behavior through September 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award will allow researchers to test the hypothesis that activity-dependent wiring changes in response to altered sensory feedback drive coordinated modifications between peripheral organs...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $501,772 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Missouri System (doing business as Missouri University of Science & Technology) for a 3-year research project from June 2024 to May 2027. The project aims to understand how pheromone signaling and the dauer diapause stage of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans influence population dynamics under varying environmental conditions. Specifically,...
- This Project Grant award of $502,563.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Villanova University supports a research project investigating how larval neurons in the Drosophila fruit fly are reprogrammed to enable stage-appropriate adult behaviors. The project will leverage Drosophila as a model system to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the transformation of juvenile neurons into circuits that support adult-specific...
