Project Grant 2409904
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
- This $652,785 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how copepod populations, which are vital to commercial fisheries, can evolve in response to climate change-driven salinity changes in coastal environments. The research team from The Ohio State University will examine the evolution of osmoregulatory functions and ion transporter genes in copepods to determine how they can adapt to rapid salinity...
- 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...

The grant will fund postdoctoral fellowship research from March 2022 through February 2024 in...
- NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: INVADERS FROM THE SEA: UNEARTHING THE GENOMIC BASIS OF MARINE-TO-TERRESTRIAL LIFE-HISTORY TRANSITIONS This $207,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure will fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2024. The fellowship funds integrative research on the behavioral and physiological mechanisms of buoyancy regulation in bony fishes. The research aims to study the anatomy, physiology, and behaviors used for buoyancy regulation across a range of fish species, and to model the evolutionary history of these traits. The fellow...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund a research and training plan to study how climate change-driven increases in temperature affect the bioturbation activities of chironomid larvae and the resulting impacts on nutrient cycling and bacterial activity in freshwater ecosystems, particularly in urban streams in Puerto Rico....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will investigate how interactions among individual coral reef fishes drive ecosystem-scale function in coral reef environments. The research will integrate field and laboratory studies to uncover the relationship between individual behavioral...
- This National Science Foundation award of $276,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship supports research and training to increase participation in biology from underrepresented groups. Specifically, the fellow will study extremophile brine flies to understand their genetic adaptations to survive in extreme aquatic habitats. They will characterize the evolutionary history...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
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 genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellowship will characterize the substrate specificity and transport mechanisms of key ion transporter proteins in the copepod Eurytemora affinis, which has repeatedly adapted to freshwater environments. By integrating genetics, environmental data, and physiological assays, the project aims to predict how changes in salinity driven by climate change will impact marine ecosystem stability and fisheries. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
