This federal Project Grant award for $961,030 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University. The award period runs from January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2028. The goal of the research is to understand how behavioral responses can help animals cope with the challenges of increasing temperatures and heatwaves. The project will study a cavity-nesting bird species that...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $759,916 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the impacts of climate change on migratory songbirds. The project aims to: 1) Estimate the plasticity and adaptation in migratory timing of songbirds, 2) Examine the molecular basis of this trait, and 3) Integrate these findings into predictive models to assess the effects of climate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $533,225 to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville will fund research to understand how behavioral responses allow some animals to cope with the growing challenges posed by extreme heat and rising temperatures. The research will focus on a cavity-nesting bird species thriving in hot, humid environments in the southeastern U.S. Experiments will: 1) identify causes and consequences of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $482,979 supported research at the University of Texas at Austin from January 2023 to December 2025 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award funded a collaborative research project to study the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch. The research aims to establish a pre-climate change baseline for the species using museum specimens and examine current coping strategies across their...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $515,158 to The University of Texas at San Antonio from October 2022 to September 2025. The award will support research to develop next-generation species distribution models that integrate organism-level bioenergetic budgets with community-level predator-prey interactions. Researchers will conduct laboratory experiments and field studies on fish populations in Southern Appalachian streams...
This three-year $632,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) and black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado, will assess linkages between climate change, body condition, foraging effort,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) for $421,043, aims to advance the understanding of neural mechanisms that allow wild songbirds to adapt their behavior to urban environments. The research will leverage brain transcriptomics and gene manipulation tools to characterize differences in brain gene networks associated with behavioral adjustments in urban male song...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the relationship between environmental variation and the evolution of cooperative social groups in Australian birds. The project will leverage citizen science data and field experiments to understand how factors like temperature, rainfall, and land use impact group size...
