- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $980,000 Project Grant to The Washington University to support research examining neuronal plasticity and the evolvability of behavior through September 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award will allow researchers to test the hypothesis that activity-dependent wiring changes in response to altered sensory feedback drive coordinated modifications between peripheral organs...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,274,370 to support collaborative research on how the world's most abundant vertebrates, lanternfishes and bristlemouths, are adapting to rapidly changing ocean conditions. The research will investigate the impacts on these crucial links in the marine food web, including changes to their populations, diets, and contribution to carbon storage in the deep ocean. The project will...
- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, totals $611,195.00 and aims to investigate how neuronal circuits in the brain influence mating behaviors and contribute to the formation of new species (speciation) in upland chorus frogs. The research project, conducted by the University of Utah, will explore the relationship between auditory neural circuits and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
- This $891,697 project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program, will fund a collaborative research study on pressure adaptation and convergent evolution in deep-sea fishes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize genome evolution patterns in 100 species of perciform fishes across a 0-8,000 meter depth range, 2) measure structural changes in biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell structure,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- This four-year, $758,583 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the developmental basis for sensory-skeletal integration in vertebrates. Funded under the Biological Sciences program, the grantee aims to understand how sensory systems influence and organize facial bone formation through three specific research objectives. The first objective examines gene expression patterns and the impact of modulating endothelin-1 signaling during critical periods of facial bone...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $468,934 to the University of Massachusetts Boston from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The funding will support research into collective timing decisions in schooling fish, with a focus on how leadership emerges and consensus is reached within groups. Specifically, the award will develop two tracking systems to...
This $1,225,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support collaborative research by the University of Chicago on the evolution and development of the vertebrate anterior lateral line system in fishes and amphibians. The project aims to investigate how this specialized sensory system, which allows aquatic animals to detect water currents and pressure changes, has adapted and specialized over millions of years of evolution as vertebrate head shapes and capabilities have changed. The research will combine multiple approaches to provide insights on how the lateral line system has evolved and how it may respond to human impacts such as underwater noise. The project will include outreach and training opportunities for students from primary school through graduate level. This research effort is expected to be completed by June 30, 2028.
