This Project Grant award, valued at $243,540.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). The objective of this project is to establish a physics-driven understanding of odor-tracking flapping flight in insects, which could inform the development of bio-inspired flying robots with enhanced aerodynamic performance and olfactory sensitivity. The key products and services to be delivered under this...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2025. The award funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to develop a comprehensive mathematical model of multisensory integration inspired by insect brain function. The fellow will leverage tools from nonlinear dynamical systems to model how insects combine distinct sensory cues like...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work on "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EAGER: CHARACTERIZING A NOVEL TURBULENCE-GENERATING SYSTEM TO FACILITATE EXPLORATION OF INSECT ORIENTATION BEHAVIOR UNDER REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS."

This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This $290,025 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to develop new methods for detecting eukaryotic symbionts associated with insects. The primary awardee, the University of Iowa, will use the funding to: 1) design PCR blocking primers to inhibit amplification of insect DNA while allowing detection of other eukaryotic organisms, and 2) conduct large-scale surveys of insect-symbiont diversity across two...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $277,546 awarded to the University of Illinois will fund collaborative research and broader impact activities related to the evolution of insect wings under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the award will support an integrative phylogenomic study from January 2023 to December 2025 examining wing repurposing, vestigiality and loss patterns in cockroaches and termites to better understand the value of wings...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study macrophysiological patterns in the thermal and optical properties of ant cuticular structures. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems.
