- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $116,000.00 in funding to Brown University to investigate how the shape of limb bones in deer mice is influenced by both genetic inheritance and physical activity during an animal's lifetime. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Studying two closely related species of deer mice, one that burrows underground and one that does not, to...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $198,298 to Bucknell University to research the effects of miniaturization on the vertebral bone structure of small mammals. The university will utilize 3D imaging, computer modeling, and physical testing to examine how size impacts the backbone structure and function of shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and solenodons. Researchers aim to determine if smaller bones are stronger or...
- This $484,370 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the challenges of living small for diminutive mammals. The Field Museum of Natural History will leverage the taxonomic diversity of shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and solenodons to quantify selective pressures on vertebral bone strength and stiffness at small sizes. Researchers will use 3D imaging, computer modeling, and physical testing to assess how lumbar spines have...
- The National Science Foundation, under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded Carroll College a $179,949 Project Grant to study the multilevel effects of urbanization on the health of the western deer mouse. This 3-year research project aims to identify the key factors that impact wildlife health in urban areas, as the deer mouse inhabits both urban and rural environments. Researchers will collect data on habitat characteristics and mouse health metrics, such as immune function...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $280,000 over 3 years to Auburn University to investigate the roles of mitochondrial behavior and morphology in animal performance. The key objectives are to test the hypotheses that: 1) changes in mitochondrial shape and movement increase ATP production, and 2) mitochondrial characteristics play critical roles in how animals respond to factors like food availability,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $670,175 to the University of Washington to investigate the ecomorphology and evolution of sexual dimorphism in mammalian skulls. The key research activities include: Measuring traits such as size, shape, biting ability, bone structure, and bone strength of carnivoran mammal skulls using 3D scanning and computer modeling techniques. Analyzing differences in skull form and...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand how human bone tissue dynamically adapts at the nanoscale level under various loading conditions. The $719,538 award to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, made on May 1, 2024, will investigate the real-time rearrangement and deformation of the nanoscale components of healthy and osteoporotic bone tissue when subjected to cyclic loading....
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genomic basis of rapid urban adaptation in house mice. The $240,000 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027, will enable the fellow to: 1) characterize temporal shifts in urban mouse population structure and genetic diversity, and 2) identify genomic signatures of rapid adaptation to urban...
