- This $294,443 Project Grant was awarded on February 1, 2026 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The grant supports research by Lafayette College to examine how factors like egg and trash levels in songbird nests affect nestling development and survival. Key objectives include developing new temperature sensing technology and deploying it to study the impacts on growth and survival of young birds. The research aims to provide...
- This $1,185,931 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York examining the connection between migratory timing and resource availability in songbirds. The 3.5-year project, running from January 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028, will: Estimate the plasticity and adaptation mechanisms enabling migratory songbirds to adjust the timing of migration in response to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
- This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports postdoctoral research on the genetic basis and fitness consequences of thermoregulatory flexibility in junco birds. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to advance understanding of major problems in biology. The grant period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2023 and performance will take place in Columbia, South Carolina. The Biological Sciences program seeks to promote...
- This federal Project Grant award for $961,030 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University. The award period runs from January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2028. The goal of the research is to understand how behavioral responses can help animals cope with the challenges of increasing temperatures and heatwaves. The project will study a cavity-nesting bird species that...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $856,412 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (the University) to conduct research exploring the feedback between the physiological performance and social foraging dynamics of wintering songbirds. The project aims to: (1) quantify the effects of physiological variation on social network stability in response to ambient temperature changes; (2) experimentally...
- Michigan Technological University received a two-year $109,469 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund research to assess the impact of climate change as a driver of long-term bird declines in continuous forest at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragmentation Project site through inclusion of 40 years of climate and bird banding data in survival models....
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate environmental and genomic regulation of molt in birds. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise. The grantee will conduct integrative research to understand the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes that govern molting...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This $155,616 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Franklin and Marshall College supports collaborative research on how exposure to extreme weather, particularly cold spells, affects the development and resilience of wild birds. The project will integrate experimental approaches, long-term population data, and continent-scale analyses to investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of how dynamic environments impact organisms and populations. Key goals include addressing the vulnerability of birds nesting in boxes to extreme weather and developing site-specific recommendations for nest box design to be widely disseminated through a partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Project NestWatch. The award period is from October 15, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
