This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) grant award provides $817,942 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to conduct research focused on advancing molecular and analytic tools to disrupt the illegal wildlife trade. The key research objectives include: Developing near real-time genetic identification capabilities for 185 shark, ray, and turtle species involved in illegal wildlife trafficking. Designing new machine learning frameworks and data labeling...
This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
This Project Grant award of $450,000 from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports an international research project titled "IRES: AQUATIC BRIGHT SPOTS: ECOLOGICAL RESILIENCE IN NORTHERN LAKES AND RIVERS". The project, awarded to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, aims to investigate the factors contributing to the resilience of aquatic ecosystems in northern Mongolia despite the impacts of climate change. Over 3 years...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $511,998 to the University of California, Santa Cruz to investigate the effects of rapid population decline and past conservation management on brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations in the lower 48 states. The key products and services to be delivered through this 5-year project include: Developing new genetic tools to rapidly sequence and identify individual brown bears using...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $414,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology. The fellowship will fund research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate evolutionary mechanisms that maintain genomic divergence and facilitate local adaptation in gray wolves. The fellow will analyze approximately 1,000 gray wolf genome sequences combined with environmental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
This $240,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research and outreach activities through August 2026. The grant supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology to investigate parasitic threats to fish health in collaboration with the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. The fellow will conduct a broad assessment of fish pathogens in over 250 lakes on and near the Lac du Flambeau Reservation to determine prevalence and severity. Research activities include...
