This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding over a 3-year period from July 2025 to June 2028. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining how parasites can impact the traits of their invertebrate host species, Daphnia dentifera, and how those effects may scale up to influence ecosystem-level processes such as primary productivity and nutrient cycling. The research...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Diet and the Microbiome as Drivers of Host Tolerance and Resistance to Parasites" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic research promoting advancement in the biological sciences. Funding will support the grantee's investigation into how diet and the gut microbiome influence an organism's...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the small intestinal microbiome. The key objectives are to elucidate how individual gut microbes and microbial communities respond to host factors like oxygen levels and bile acids, and how this impacts their ability to protect against pathogens. The research will leverage a novel capsule device to sample chemicals and viable...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund the collection and analysis of gut microbiome samples from over 3,300 animal species, representing the most comprehensive dataset to date. This will allow for improved understanding of the origins and ecological controls of gut microbiomes across the...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating microbial interactions across trophic scales and their contributions to host phenotype in a carnivore model. Specifically, the fellow will characterize external microbiomes in soil, water and prey, quantify their contributions to black-footed ferret gut microbiomes, and test whether these...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. The fellowship will fund the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to detect parasite biodiversity and incorporate parasites into ecological networks. This non-invasive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding for a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the eco-evolutionary impacts of cyanobacterial diets on host-parasite interactions in freshwater ecosystems. The research project aims to uncover the molecular basis for parasite susceptibility in the Daphnia-Metschnikowia host-parasite system, determine if medicinal cyanobacterial diets select for more virulent...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides USD 270,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the role of pathogens in the success or failure of species invasions. The research will analyze changes in wild and invasive rodent population dynamics and genomes over the past 400 years, along with the corresponding evolutionary changes in their associated pathogens. This project aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.074 (Biological Sciences) provides $270,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research will investigate the microbial ecology of the extremophile choanoflagellate Barroeca monosierra, which is closely related to animals, to understand how environmental forces shaped the emergence of animals from unicellular ancestors. The research will use an...
This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
