This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to investigate how fishes have adapted to the high pressures found in deep ocean habitats. The $891,697 award, granted on August 15, 2024, will enable researchers from the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY Geneseo) to use genomics, biochemistry, and physiology techniques to characterize evolutionary patterns and pressure...
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 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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA program 47.074 Biological Sciences provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The award will fund research investigating the anatomical, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms used by bony fishes for buoyancy regulation. The research aims to develop a predictive model of buoyancy regulation strategies based on fish ecology and phylogenetics. In addition to...
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 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...
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 $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 federal Project Grant award, valued at $240,000 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolution of ion transporter function in response to climate-driven salinity declines. The research will be conducted by a fellow and will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, which seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing interactions between...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
