- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $784,335 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to conduct collaborative research on how maternal metabolism and its response to low oxygen environments impact pregnancy outcomes and fetal growth at high altitudes. The research uses a rodent model, the North American deer mouse, to investigate how adaptation to high-altitude environments modifies the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded an $827,312 project grant to the University of Nebraska under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research titled "Physiology of Hypoxia Adaptation in the World's Highest-Dwelling Mammal" from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The University will conduct basic research to increase scientific knowledge and understanding of how mammals physiologically adapt to life at high altitudes. Subawards were provided to Universidad...
- The University of Denver, through a $382,324.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting collaborative research to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interaction between parasitic botflies and high-elevation deer mice. The research aims to determine whether botflies will expand into higher elevations as the climate warms, and how this may negatively...
- This $643,799 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The goal of this project is to test whether low oxygen levels at high elevations prevent animal species from shifting their ranges upslope in response to climate change pressures. Using dragonflies as a model organism, the research will integrate lab experiments and field surveys to assess how flight performance and dispersal ability are...
- This $841,120 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Colorado State University to investigate the physiology, phenology, and phylogeny of grass species. The research aims to develop improved mechanistic models for predicting how grass distributions may respond to changing environmental conditions, such as rising temperatures and precipitation patterns. Specifically, the project will use...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $716,280 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. The grant funds a collaborative research project to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interactions between parasitic botfly larvae and high-elevation deer mice populations. The research aims to develop predictive models for how novel host-parasite dynamics may evolve under shifting environmental...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $484,536 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to Colorado State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support research examining how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in extreme high-altitude...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $509,000.00 to Northeastern University to conduct research on how bone structure is shaped by genetic inheritance versus physical activity in deer mice. The 3-year project investigates the mechanisms of "mechanoadaptation" - how bones change shape in response to different behaviors and environments - using deer mice as a model organism. By raising mice in digging versus...
- 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 (PRFB) from July 2025 to June 2028. The research aims to determine how seasonal and environmental shifts in plant odors provide cues that inform mule deer migratory behavior in Wyoming. The fellow will integrate data from plant chemical analyses, mule deer movement tracking, foraging experiments, and remote sensing...
- This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
