- 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...
- This $876,730 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support a research project at Ball State University titled "From Genetic Management to Genetic Rescue: Quantifying Outbreeding Depression Thresholds in Threatened Chiricahua Leopard Frogs (Lithobates chiricahuensis)". The project aims to study the risk of outbreeding depression in the threatened Chiricahua leopard frog and identify the optimal genetic...
- This $355,123 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to genetically modify the immune system of the African clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) to improve its resistance to the deadly chytrid fungus. The goal is to identify how altering the frog's major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes affects its ability to fight off this pathogen and survive infection. The project includes a sub-award to the University...
- This federal Project Grant award of $431,750 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), will support research conducted by the University of Houston System to investigate the physiological and evolutionary mechanisms that enable salt-sensitive freshwater amphibians, such as frogs, to develop resilience in saline environments. The research will pursue two key directions: 1) examining the physiological...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Fluid Homeostasis in the Evolution of Frog Breeding Phenology" from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Funding will support postdoctoral research examining how fluid homeostasis influences the timing of...
- This $240,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of amphibian skin microbiomes in limiting the growth of deadly fungal pathogens. The research aims to explore the mechanisms by which certain skin microbes inhibit the fungal agents responsible for amphibian population declines, and to pilot the use of "antifungal probiotics" to protect...
- This $932,200 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research at Florida State University to investigate the neurobiology and behavior underlying speciation in upland chorus frogs. The project aims to better understand how changes in brain function and mating behaviors drive the formation of new frog species. Key research activities will include studying neural circuits related to auditory communication...
- Colorado State University was awarded a $121,120 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. The award will support research to test the mechanisms and consequences of an adaptive response to a catastrophic fire and heatwave in stream frogs. Specifically, the researchers will measure physiological, genetic, and other changes that...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research on how the hormone aldosterone regulates amphibian metamorphosis from aquatic to terrestrial forms. The $629,995 award to the University of Cincinnati, with a performance period from September 2024 to August 2027, aims to reveal aldosterone's precise role in frog development by measuring corticosteroid levels, comparing wild-type and mutant tadpoles,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to study the molecular signals required for the formation of glial cells during the development of the nervous system in the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis). The 3-year project, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will investigate transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying glial development, with a focus on the role of...
