- This three-year, two hundred forty thousand dollar project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the evolution of endocrine and behavioral phenotypes in recently diverged stickleback fish populations. The fellow will compare differences in neural hormone sensitivity, hormone production pathways, and conduct functional genetic tests to uncover how novel parental care behaviors emerge within and between populations...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $468,934 to the University of Massachusetts Boston from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The funding will support research into collective timing decisions in schooling fish, with a focus on how leadership emerges and consensus is reached within groups. Specifically, the award will develop two tracking systems to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $1,039,048 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for the project "CAREER: Stress, Recovery, Regeneration, and Resilience in Reproduction". The project will use a short-lived worm model organism to investigate how animal cells and organs respond to starvation at different ages, and how those responses affect the animal's ability to reproduce...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $648,655 in funding to Miami University to investigate how childhood experiences, such as maltreatment and parenting quality, predict daily emotional reactivity to stress in adulthood. The research aims to inform the design of interventions to help people respond constructively to daily stress. The project builds on the long-running Minnesota Longitudinal...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $270,000 to fund a 3-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to biology in innovative ways, using the bluebanded goby (Lythrypnus dalli), a socially complex fish species, to elucidate how dynamic social environments alter biology and behavior. The research aims to uncover the restructuring of the brain and...
- This Project Grant award of $428,271 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate the behavioral and neuromolecular mechanisms underlying aggression biases in cichlid fish species. The primary awardee, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), will lead a multidisciplinary team to conduct social learning experiments, genetic analysis, neural activity mapping, and brain gene expression analyses on two...
- This $399,996 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research at Saint Joseph's University to explore the mechanisms underlying stress responses and sleep regulation in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The project aims to characterize new neural circuit mechanisms that control avoidance behaviors and recovery sleep in response to threats. The research will be conducted primarily by undergraduate and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2024. The fellowship funds integrative research on the behavioral and physiological mechanisms of buoyancy regulation in bony fishes. The research aims to study the anatomy, physiology, and behaviors used for buoyancy regulation across a range of fish species, and to model the evolutionary history of these traits. The fellow...
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024.
