The National Science Foundation awarded a $375,842 project grant to the University of Houston under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The grant funds collaborative research to understand how sea level rise affects coastal amphibians. Specifically, the university researchers will conduct experimental and comparative studies on 10 anuran species located near the Gulf and Atlantic coasts to identify life stage-specific mortality from salt stress. The studies aim to...
This Project Grant award of $461,914, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports a collaborative research project at Cornell University to study the evolution of frog skin and its implications for climate change vulnerability and ecology. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years and in response to various abiotic and biotic factors; 2) experimentally test...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $494,261 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on frog skin evolution and adaptations. The project aims to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years in response to abiotic and biotic factors, 2) experimentally test the ability of anuran skin to decouple respiration and water loss, and 3) incorporate...
This $425,200 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Arizona State University from July 2022 through June 2024 towards understanding responses to climate change and invasion vulnerability in drylands of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The research will combine geospatial techniques such as species distribution modeling with a trait-based methodology to assess amphibian species' vulnerability to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) in the amount of $488,890 provides funding to the University of Notre Dame to study the response of biodiverse freshwater ecosystems to environmental changes caused by rising sea levels. The researchers will use the Izabal/Golfete system, a freshwater ecosystem in Eastern Guatemala, as a natural experiment to investigate how gradual versus rapid marine water inundation impacts the environment and...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The project will examine the impacts of seasonality and disease on nutritional provisioning in amphibians, focusing on the relationship between reproductive modes, nutrient composition, and immune responses. The Fellow will integrate field observations, lab experiments, and mathematical models to characterize...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $412,592 Project Grant to Cornell University to conduct research on the genomic and evolutionary impacts of climate change on an anadromous fish species. The project aims to use time series genetic data within an anadromous fish system to observe poleward range shifting at the subpopulation level for the American shad species. Over the 2-year award period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025, the research will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of USD 202,860 to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, supports a collaborative research study on the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $1,275,000 to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia to conduct research on environmental drivers and ecosystem state changes in a coastal barrier landscape. The 6-year project, which began on June 1, 2025, uses long-term data to predict how coastlines will respond to environmental changes such as sea-level rise, warming temperatures, and changes in storm and...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $240,000 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolution of ion transporter function in response to climate-driven salinity declines. The research will be conducted by a fellow and will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, which seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing interactions between...
