Project Grant 2433268
- 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...
- 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 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...
- 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 (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $423,626.00 to Montclair State University to support a research project titled "Neurobiology of Cognition and Emotion in Teleost Fish". The project aims to build tools and infrastructure to map how the teleostean fish brain mediates associative learning, cognition, and emotion. Key activities include generating a prototype functional connectivity atlas of associative learning that...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $1.14 million Project Grant to The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to examine temperature acclimation through RNA editing. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal to strengthen the Nation's biological research enterprise, this Project Grant...
- 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 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 $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research to study the origin and evolution of vertebrate diversity on the Marajo Island in the Amazon rainforest. The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
This Project Grant award for $426,300.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The funding supports a collaborative research project titled "INTBIO: Exploring New Ground--Development, Elaboration, and Evolution of Vertebrate Anterior Lateral Lines - Fishes and Amphibians". The research, conducted by the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, will investigate the evolution and specialization of the lateral line sensory system in various fish and amphibian species. The project aims to provide insights on how this ancient sensory system has adapted over millions of years and how it may respond to human impacts, such as underwater noise. The award has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2028 and will involve multiple outreach and education opportunities to benefit students from primary school through graduate levels.
