Project Grant 2512876
- This federal Project Grant award for $1,042,902 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program is supporting collaborative research by Colorado State University (CSU) to investigate how maternal metabolism and response to low oxygen levels at high altitudes influence pregnancy outcomes and fetal growth. The research uses the North American deer mouse as a model organism, comparing the physiological responses of high-altitude deer mice that do not...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, in the amount of $145,150 on April 15, 2024. This 2-year project will provide a fellowship to an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to conduct collaborative research with the University of Washington. The project aims to determine how...
- 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...
- 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 Project Grant award for $639,298.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Santa Cruz to investigate how conflicting maternal and paternal cues influence the evolution of transgenerational plasticity in offspring traits. The research uses theoretical models and laboratory experiments to explore how offspring respond when parents experience different environments, and whether parents...
- 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 $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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Program grant award to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating through the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), provides $1,101,668.00 in funding from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2030. The project, titled "CAREER: Leveraging Natural Diversity to Uncover the Genetic Basis of Host-Microbiome Interactions," uses the Mexican tetra fish as a model to explore how genes influence gut...
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 effects of hypoxia on reproductive biology. The experiments aim to advance the basic understanding of how reproductive physiology contributes to mammalian adaptation to challenging environments, as well as provide new insights into common pregnancy complications linked to low oxygen levels, such as pre-eclampsia. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2029.
