- This Project Grant award for $639,298.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Santa Cruz to investigate how conflicting maternal and paternal cues influence the evolution of transgenerational plasticity in offspring traits. The research uses theoretical models and laboratory experiments to explore how offspring respond when parents experience different environments, and whether parents...
- This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
- This three-year, two hundred forty thousand dollar project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the evolution of endocrine and behavioral phenotypes in recently diverged stickleback fish populations. The fellow will compare differences in neural hormone sensitivity, hormone production pathways, and conduct functional genetic tests to uncover how novel parental care behaviors emerge within and between populations...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $251,181 to Youngstown State University to explore the neurological mechanisms underlying reproductive behaviors in biparental burying beetles. The project aims to understand how neurotransmitters like dopamine influence the beetles' ability to exhibit flexible caregiving behavior and coordinate parenting tasks. Through a combination of neurochemical, molecular, and...
- This $598,958 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to examine how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource conditions influences offspring prey fitness and scales up to impact population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem function on rocky shores. The research aims to advance understanding of how intergenerational plasticity - when...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $759,948 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Ohio State University. The funding will support a 3-year research project focused on characterizing the biogenesis and degradation of piRNAs (PIWI-interacting RNAs) in the model organism C. elegans. Key objectives include examining how piRNA production is regulated at the transcriptional level, investigating an unconventional cap-binding protein involved in processing...
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, provides $233,333 to The Ohio State University to develop and implement multifunctional DNA-based nanoscale devices. The goal is to detect genetic activity and control gene expression, particularly related to cell state and differentiated functions. The devices will enable mechanical control of gene regulation and provide insights into how chromatin structure and...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award will fund research and training that aims to enhance understanding of how behavior, brain gene expression, and biological function integrate across levels of organization in a polyphenic insect with biparental care, the bull-headed dung beetle (Onthophagus taurus). The project will investigate...
