This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, aims to characterize the ecology and population dynamics of Gulf Coast canids that carry varying amounts of endangered red wolf genetic ancestry. The $251,552 project, which runs from July 2025 to June 2030, will develop a non-invasive genetic tool to monitor and assess the ecological conditions that support the persistence of red wolf "ghost introgression" within coyote...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $118,081 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Trustees of Princeton University. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "PACSP Tools: Identifying Unique Genotypic and Phenotypic Characteristics of Gulf Coast Canids to Revive Genomic Variation in the Endangered Red Wolf." The project aims to characterize the ecology and population dynamics of Gulf Coast canids that carry varying...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) grant award of $300,000 to the University of Wisconsin System provides funding for a 2-year project to explore the proactive, large-scale storage of genes from wildlife populations in the Great Lakes region that are under threat of diminishment or extinction. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Collecting 15 minimally invasive genetic samples from American red foxes and American pine...
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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $137,159 to support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology and modern wolf populations. The University of California, Berkeley will lead efforts to study dire wolf and coyote dietary patterns at the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits fossil sites to determine food web relationships and compare...
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 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $496,482 to Montana State University from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The funding supports research testing the effects of resources and competitors at multiple spatial and temporal scales in multiple populations of African wild dogs. Specifically, the award integrates new methods into long-term studies of African wild...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $817,942 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to conduct research aimed at strengthening conservation partnerships and disrupting the illegal wildlife trade. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing near real-time species-level genetic identification for 185 shark, ray, and turtle species using advanced high-resolution melt (HRM) profiling and machine...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes through June 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables a postdoctoral fellowship in biology at North Carolina State University to examine patterns of natural selection in gray wolf populations within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. By combining genomic and epigenetic...
This $583,214 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research at Utah State University to investigate the behavioral, hormonal, and neural basis of coyote pair bonding. The 5-year project aims to establish a foundation for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying pair bond formation, maintenance, and loss in coyotes, a monogamous wild canid species. Key research activities include:...
