The National Science Foundation awarded a $2 million project grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to support research investigating how animals maintain correct gene expression timing during development at varying temperatures. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this four-year award beginning in July 2022 will enable the awardee to utilize microfluidic imaging technology to quantitatively study temporal patterning in the gene regulatory networks that control...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the role of phenotypic plasticity in enabling population persistence in novel environments. The $240,000 award, spanning 3 years from September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a genomic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize the mechanisms of environmental assessment and how they vary across...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research by The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to investigate the genetic basis of chemosensory behavior in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The project aims to understand how genetic diversity and environmental factors influence how C. elegans interacts with its surroundings, which is crucial for the animal's survival....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $270,000 in funding from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project aims to investigate how long-term soil warming affects the traits and gene expression of fungal-feeding nematodes (fungivores) and establish predictive links between nematode characteristics and decomposition, a key ecosystem function. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $378,347 Project Grant to Yale University to investigate the molecular mechanisms that allow tardigrades, a type of microorganism, to survive extreme environmental stresses such as desiccation, temperature, radiation, and pressure. The research under this CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences program award aims to develop a detailed physiochemical understanding of the structure and function of tardigrade disordered proteins, which are believed to play...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 2026 to March 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project will investigate how changes in temperature and moisture influence thermal physiology across life stages and between tropical and temperate butterfly species. The research aims to improve predictive models of species vulnerability to environmental changes by integrating the...
This Project Grant award of $120,681.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research at Syracuse University to gain a holistic understanding of how intrinsically disordered proteins and the cellular environment function together to provide protection against desiccation. The interdisciplinary project will employ experiments at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels using yeast and the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as model...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $339,172 will fund research on how the microbiome of the copepod Acartia tonsa, a critical component of marine food webs, responds to thermal stress caused by climate change. The research, conducted by the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, has three main objectives: 1) determine the microbial composition of A. tonsa's southernmost North American population and how it varies under...
