  • International Association for Bear Research and Management (with Heiko Jansen) (2017-2023)
  • National Science Foundation Division of Integrative and Organismal Systems (with Michael Tobler) (2016-2019)
  • Army Research Office (subcontract with PI Michael Tobler) (2015-2017)
  • WSU International Travel Grant (2016)
  • NSF Advance to WSU (2013)

Funding is always a limiting resource for scientific endeavors, click here to support the Kelley Lab. A big thanks to our funders! Here’s a bit about our funders:

Army Research Office

AROThe U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Army Research Office (ARO) mission is to “serve as the Army’s premier extramural basic research agency in the engineering, physical, information and life sciences; developing and exploiting innovative advances to insure the Nation’s technological superiority. The Life Sciences division of the ARO Supports research to discover and understand the underlying properties, principles, and mechanisms governing DNA, RNA, proteins, organelles, cells, organisms, multi-species interactions, and neurological and cognitive systems…” The ARO has awarded $390,000 towards our collaborative project investigating the physiological effects and processing of hydrogen sulfide. The project focuses on comparative analyses between sulfide-tolerant and non-tolerant fish species and will be pursued collaboratively with Michael Tobler lab at Kansas State University.

International Association for Bear
Research and Management

The  International Association for Bear Research and Management mission is to “to understand the world’s 8 bear species through scientific research and collaboration with communities, conservationists, managers, and students across the globe.”

 

National Science Foundation Division of Integrative and Organismal Systems

NSFIntegrative Organismal Systems Division of NSF (IOS) “supports research aimed at improving our understanding of organisms as integrated units of biological organization. IOS particularly encourages research that is integrative and interdisciplinary, applies approaches that combine experimentation, computation, and modeling, leads to new conceptual and theoretical insights and testable predictions about integrated organismal properties, leads to transformative methods, tools and resources, and seeks breakthroughs in the areas of phenotypic plasticity and organismal resilience.” IOS recently continued its support of our project investigating how fishes adapt to toxic, hydrogen sulfide rich environments. The goal is to identify differences in genetic, biochemical, and physiological traits that underlie tolerance to H2S by comparing closely related populations that live in adjacent sulfidic or nonsulfidic habitats. This project will be conducted in collaboration with Michael Tobler (Kansas State University) and Jennifer Shaw (Oklahoma State University).
