This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,463,502 to the University of Memphis to conduct collaborative research on the genetics of polar bear hair and skin color adaptations to the Arctic environment. The key objectives are to: Compare the DNA, RNA, proteins, and tissue structure of polar bears to brown/grizzly and American black bears to identify the genes responsible for polar bears' light hair color, dark skin...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Washington State University a $309,112 Project Grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant will fund research to reveal the genomic underpinnings of polar bear physiological adaptations to the Arctic. The Polar Programs grant program supports basic research best conducted in or related to the polar regions to strengthen understanding...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074), aims to investigate the effects of rapid population decline and past conservation management actions on brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations in the lower 48 states. The $511,998 award, effective September 1, 2024, will fund the development of new genetic tools to rapidly sequence and identify individual brown bears using non-invasive samples. The research will...
This $455,199 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of California Santa Cruz to study genome evolution in polar fishes. The research will compare genomes of multiple polar and non-polar fish species to clarify how evolutionary rates vary in polar environments, identify general trends shaping adaptive trajectories of polar fishes, and determine how functional differences influence the evolution...
This $413,621 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to investigate the genomic diversity and population dynamics of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the lower 48 United States. The research team from the University of California, Riverside will use DNA sequencing technologies to analyze historical and contemporary brown bear samples, with the goal of understanding the impacts of past...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $294,004 Project Grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research on the extinct megafauna of Alaska from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The research aims to pinpoint the precise extinction dates of the last mammoth, steppe bison, and tundra lion in Alaska through extracting and analyzing ancient DNA preserved in frozen soil, in...
