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 $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and fellowship activities from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program. The grant funds a postdoctoral fellowship to study the contributions of muscle geometry and physiology to fish swimming performance. The fellow will conduct two studies examining fish axial musculature and its impact on locomotion. Using 3D modeling, in vitro muscle testing, and particle imaging velocimetry, the fellow...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on January 1, 2026, provides $270,000.00 in funding over a 3-year period to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on elucidating the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying adult sexual plasticity in the bluebanded goby fish. The research aims to investigate how dynamic social environments drive rapid changes in the brain, gonads, and behavior of this socially complex species. The project...
This $245,860 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research by Providence College to investigate how fish achieve rapid, highly maneuverable underwater movements. The research focuses on testing the hypothesis that fish dynamically modulate their body damping (resistance to bending speed) and stiffness to enable these extreme maneuvers, which surpass even state-of-the-art robotic systems. Through a combination...
This $240,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how interspecific interactions and local climate factors influence the distribution of two species of lake fish under climate change scenarios. The research aims to understand the implications of competition and thermal tolerance on the future distributions of a warm-water generalist species (largemouth bass) and a cool-water...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $535,465 to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) for a collaborative research project titled "Biodesign: A Deep Dive into Dynamic Damping in Extreme Underwater Maneuvering". The primary goal is to investigate how fish achieve rapid maneuvers that exceed the capabilities of advanced robotic systems, focusing on the hypothesis that fish can dynamically modulate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2024. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes across spatial and biological scales. The key objectives are to characterize variation in bioenergetic and behavioral traits, study how this variation...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 in funding from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027 to conduct research on how collective behavior in coral reef fishes impacts ecosystem function. The project will integrate field and lab studies to examine the relationship between individual fish behavior, group composition, and ecosystem-level processes in coral reef environments. The research aims to advance scientific...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, provided under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The $240,000 award supports research and training to investigate the rules governing the evolution of convergent color patterns in the clownfish-sea anemone symbiosis. The research aims to determine the ecological conditions that led to the development of the three distinct color patterns observed across...
