This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 in funding from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue in vulnerable species. The research will use data from a previous field experiment on Trinidadian guppies to identify ecologically important traits and genomic regions associated with the beneficial impacts of genetic rescue, and quantify the adaptive potential of recipient populations over time. The project will also involve activities to broaden participation in field biology, such as a summer field course for undergraduates from diverse backgrounds. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
