This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $768,325 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms underlying how animals specialize for life in the deep ocean. The project will focus on studying the cell membranes of deep-sea animals, particularly ctenophores (comb jellies), to uncover the genetic and physicochemical adaptations that enable survival under the extreme...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the behavioral and physiological mechanisms of buoyancy regulation in bony fishes. The 3-year fellowship, starting on July 1, 2025, will support research that aims to reveal fundamental information about how fishes maintain homeostasis and interact with their environment, as well as...
This $704,076 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund research at the University Corporation At Monterey Bay to advance understanding of speciation dynamics in the highly diverse rockfish genus Sebastes. Over five years from September 2022 through August 2027, the awardee will construct an updated phylogenetic framework for rockfishes using phylogenomic methods. They will also conduct whole genome sequencing to infer likely divergence...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $428,994 to the University of Delaware to conduct collaborative research on how deep-sea animals adapt to extreme conditions in the ocean. The research team will use the comb jelly (ctenophore) as a model organism to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms that allow marine organisms to survive freezing temperatures and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Parallel Genome and Phenome Evolution within and across Fish Species" from December 2021 through November 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major challenges. Through this two-year award,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, provides $879,124 to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on the genetic mechanisms underlying repeated evolution in species that have adapted to extreme cave environments. The research will leverage comparative genomic analyses and functional genomics techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 to identify common...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $268,647 project grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award, effective October 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research to discover the integrated genomic and physiological mechanisms that enable some species of killifish to exhibit extreme phenotypic plasticity and thrive in highly variable environments. The project will...
