- This $360,044 award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a collaborative research project at Indiana University, Bloomington. The project aims to uncover fundamental principles of evolution by studying the relationship between an individual's choice of environment and the developmental processes that are shaped by that environment, using fruit flies as a model organism. The research will integrate theory and experiments across...
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
- This Project Grant award for $639,298.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Santa Cruz to investigate how conflicting maternal and paternal cues influence the evolution of transgenerational plasticity in offspring traits. The research uses theoretical models and laboratory experiments to explore how offspring respond when parents experience different environments, and whether parents...
- 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 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the role of phenotypic plasticity in enabling population persistence in novel environments. The $240,000 award, spanning 3 years from September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a genomic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize the mechanisms of environmental assessment and how they vary across...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $803,697 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct collaborative research on rapid evolution and species coexistence in an orchard fly system. The project aims to investigate how competition and rapid evolution among orchard fly species determine their population dynamics, competitive outcomes, and ability to coexist. The research will integrate theory and field...
- This $900,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support research to investigate the mechanistic roles of hyper-divergent regions in gene-by-environment interactions and their impact on adaptation. The project will use cutting-edge genomics, genetic crosses, and high-throughput experiments with nematode species to uncover molecular details on how evolution...
- 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 Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 provides funding from November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2024 to support research and training under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how gene-environment interactions have shaped the repeated evolution of differentiated multicellularity. The fellow will employ single-cell transcriptomics and comparative analyses to examine how...
