This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award supports a research project that explores the interactions between plants, animals, and people in a complex forest ecosystem in Madagascar. The research aims to use genetic and statistical tools to study species relationships and how habitat changes impact the ecosystem, including effects on...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund the collection and analysis of gut microbiome samples from over 3,300 animal species, representing the most comprehensive dataset to date. This will allow for improved understanding of the origins and ecological controls of gut microbiomes across the...
This NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $137,000 to support research and training for an early-career scientist. The project aims to investigate the role of gut microbiomes in helping herbivorous hosts, such as snowshoe hares and greater sage-grouse, tolerate toxins found in their plant-based diets. The research will use multi-omics approaches to determine the microbial...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating microbial interactions across trophic scales and their contributions to host phenotype in a carnivore model. Specifically, the fellow will characterize external microbiomes in soil, water and prey, quantify their contributions to black-footed ferret gut microbiomes, and test whether these...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). The fellowship will fund research and training that investigates how DNA transfer drives ecological relationships across different levels of biological organization. The project aims to uncover patterns of DNA transfers within microbial communities and use this information to model past and...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $276,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 to support research investigating the effects of microbiome ecological and evolutionary origin on plant-microbiome coevolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will support a postdoctoral fellow's integrative research exploring how a microbiome's previous associations with plant hosts influence community adaptation and the...
This $138,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024.

This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to innovative advances in the study of herbivore gut microbiomes and their co-evolutionary relationship with plant chemical defenses. The fellow will examine gut microbiome function, diversity, composition, and adaptation in bamboo lemurs, a primate species with varying dietary exposure to cyanide. This research aims to provide insights into the underlying biology of how plant chemical warfare affects herbivore gut microbiomes, as well as advance understanding of threatened primate species. The project will also engage students in the U.S. and Madagascar in independent research. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2028.
