Project Grant 2451240
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to develop mathematical models that aid in the understanding of animal migration. The $337,877 award to the University of Maryland, College Park will fund a project that uses novel mathematical modeling approaches to explore seasonal, wave-like migratory dynamics and how resource quality and quantity shape the pace and pattern of...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $212,912 to develop novel mathematical approaches that bridge the gap between theoretical models and empirical data on animal movement and cognition. The goal is to enhance understanding of how and why animals move through different environments and habitats, which is a critical challenge in ecology, conservation biology, and wildlife management. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $848,286 Project Grant to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to develop integrated movement models (IMMs) that combine big data streams to unravel global-scale patterns in animal migration ecology. The grant, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, aims to leverage existing datasets, including long-term fine-scale GPS tracking of individual animals and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $382,141 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant, awarded on Jan 1, 2025, will fund a research project titled "CAREER: Seasonal Migration as an Ecological Barrier to Gene Flow Between Hybridizing Species". This project will use state-of-the-art tracking and genomic technology to study the role of migration in maintaining and...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $414,000 supports research investigating the role of migratory behavior in population divergence and speciation from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will train a postdoctoral fellow in comparative phylogenetics and genomic analyses to study how animal migration contributes to the formation of new species. The fellow will test whether migratory lineages have higher...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Morphological Drivers and Effects of Long-Distance Bird Migration" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $591,052 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Louisville's Office of Research & Innovation Division. This 3-year grant, effective from February 2024 to January 2027, will support the training of 24 high school teachers from Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, KY on conducting urban ecology research focused on topics such as impacts of human disturbance on wildlife, insect responses to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, will support collaborative research between the University of Michigan and the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the mechanisms of animal migration termination. The $329,936 award, made on Jul 15, 2025, will leverage a novel multi-modal data logger and analytics platform (MSAIL) to monitor monarch butterflies as they complete their iconic annual migrations. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $326,841 Project Grant through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Louisville. This collaborative research project will develop mathematical models to aid in understanding animal migration, a widespread seasonal phenomenon driven by changes in resource availability. The research will focus on characterizing the pace and patterns of migratory movements, specifically analyzing GPS tracking data for the critically endangered scimitar-horned oryx to understand how these animals track seasonal resource changes. The project will support the training of undergraduate and graduate students working at the intersection of mathematics and biology. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
