- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding a collaborative research project at The Ohio State University (OSU) to study the role of conflicting maternal and paternal cues on the evolution of transgenerational plasticity in offspring. The $441,030 award, which runs from December 1, 2025 to November 30, 2028, will utilize both theoretical models and laboratory experiments to explore how offspring respond to varying...
- 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 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, funds a research project at the University of California, Davis to investigate the mechanisms underlying sex differences and reversals in parental care behavior. The $643,427 grant, awarded on June 1, 2025, will run through January 31, 2026. The project capitalizes on naturally occurring parental flexibility in the neotropical poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius, to...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the role of phenotypic plasticity in enabling population persistence in novel environments. The $240,000 award, spanning 3 years from September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a genomic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize the mechanisms of environmental assessment and how they vary across...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support research and training under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund postdoctoral research by Madilyn Gamble at the University of California, Santa Cruz investigating the genetic underpinnings and evolutionary consequences of alternative reproductive tactics in steelhead trout. Specifically, the research aims to...
- 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...
- 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) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes, with a focus on understanding how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly a satellite repeat on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, influence...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,419,596 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The grant aims to identify the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity - the ability of organisms to change their physical traits in response to environmental changes. Specifically, the research will study genetic variation underlying the spectacular carnivore larval morph in Mexican spadefoot toads, which is...
