Project Grant 2521874
- This $2.19 million National Science Foundation project grant supports research into integrative wildlife nutrition from molecules to macro-ecology over three years. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant to Northwestern University will investigate how six species of wild primates in two tropical forests modulate their nutrition in response to varying food availability. The research team, which includes Rutgers University, Cornell University, Hunter College, and...
- This $450,000 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into the relationship between primate gut microbiomes and behavioral traits. The University of Massachusetts will analyze behavioral and fecal samples from wild nonhuman primates to quantify the taxonomic diversity of gut microbes through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and identify functional genes through metagenomic sequencing. The research aims to examine potential associations between gut microbiome diversity, behavioral...
- This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $199,996 supports research into how wild redtail monkeys make nutritional decisions across variable forest environments. The awardee, the Research Foundation of the City University of New York on behalf of Hunter College, will investigate feeding behavior, diet compositions, and gut microbiomes as monkeys experience disparate nutritional conditions in three forests. Behavioral observations, dietary analysis, and microbiome...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
- This $100,000 National Science Foundation project grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research into the coloration of primate infants and its social and ecological functions. New York University will lead a collaborative effort to create a standardized image database of primate species alongside life history and social data. Researchers will objectively measure the color of hundreds of primate infants from over 80 species throughout development using calibrated...
- This $499,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on assessing adaptive and maladaptive stress responses in wild capuchin monkeys. The study, led by the University of Michigan, aims to: 1) measure variation in glucocorticoid levels in the monkeys before and after known social and ecological stressors; 2) quantify each individual's unique stress response; 3) determine if these responses are...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $473,296 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The award supports research examining the evolution of metabolism in the primate brain at the cellular level. Investigators will use advanced techniques to transform human and non-human primate cells into neurons...
- This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $329,849 to San Diego State University Research Foundation to study factors affecting foraging and provisioning decisions in rapidly changing landscapes. The research will examine how human-modified habitats shape macaque behavior in agricultural intensification contexts and people's...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $130,808 supports research into signals of genetic quality and mate choice in nonhuman primates from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2026. The award is made under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences. Specifically, the University of Texas at Arlington will conduct field-based research to examine whether seasonal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $123,202 to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to study how changes in feeding strategies or the microbiome facilitate the maintenance of a healthy nutritional status in mothers and caregivers within a non-human primate species (tamarins). The study collects behavioral data, analyzes food nutrient content, and examines microbiome composition to understand how mothers and alloparents maintain their nutritional status throughout pregnancy and infant care. The research aims to advance knowledge and generate comparative data for understanding reproductive fitness, while also providing training and research opportunities for students and developing outreach activities. The award period is from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
