Project Grant 2526737
- This $155,616.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) supports research to understand how developmental exposure to cold weather affects the ability of wild birds to cope with dynamic temperature changes and extreme weather events. The project integrates experimental studies on wild bird populations, analyses of long-term field data, and continent-wide data to investigate the mechanistic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program awarded Cornell University a $869,360 project grant for the period of October 15, 2025 to September 30, 2028. The grant will fund collaborative research to investigate how developmental exposure to cold temperatures affects the ability of wild birds to cope with dynamic and extreme weather conditions later in life. The project will integrate experimental studies, long-term field data, and...
- 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...
- This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
- 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 $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
- 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 $422,183 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by Southern Oregon University to investigate how temperature and nutrition jointly affect the migratory grasshopper, a major rangeland pest in the United States. The project will combine fieldwork, lab experiments, and computer simulations to improve ecological forecasting and inform pest management strategies to support national food security. The research will...
- This Project Grant award of $382,681 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at California State University, Dominguez Hills to investigate the taxonomic and geographic distribution of near-infrared (NIR) reflectivity in birds and insects. The project aims to develop a macroecological understanding of how NIR reflectivity, which is critical for thermal adaptation, varies across different animal species and environments. This research...
This $294,443 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research by Lafayette College to investigate how trash and unhatched eggs in songbird nests affect the temperature and thermal properties of the nest, and how those factors impact nestling development and survival. The study aims to develop new miniaturized temperature sensor technology that can be embedded in 3D-printed egg models to track nest temperatures more precisely. The research findings could provide important insights into managing wildlife populations, including those that are conservation priorities or invasive species. Additionally, the project will engage undergraduate students in the research through mentoring and classroom implementation of the new temperature sensing tools. The award has an initial project period from February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2029.
