Project Grant 1548182

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $487,639 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct long-term monitoring and research on plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome. The project aims to assemble a unique long-term dataset on population and community changes in response to rapid environmental changes, such as climate change, to advance ecological theory and forecasting. Key activities...

This $106,713 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the Collaborative Research: Biorets project. The project engages pairs of high school teachers from schools serving marginalized STEM student populations in authentic research experiences at three Long Term Ecological Research sites spanning Arctic, temperate forest, and coastal marine ecosystems. Over an 18-month period, teacher pairs will conduct field and laboratory research...

This $112,302 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support long-term monitoring of plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome over a 5-year period from March 2025 to February 2030. The project, led by the Corporation of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), aims to advance ecological theory by assembling a comprehensive record of population and community changes in the alpine environment...

This $222,051 project grant from the National Science Foundation will support the Authentic Research Experiences for Teachers at Long-Term Ecological Research Sites project. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), pairs of high school teachers from schools with large populations of underrepresented students in STEM fields will conduct authentic research at three Long Term Ecological Research sites spanning Arctic, temperate forest, and coastal marine ecosystems. Over an 18-month...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $939,752 to Washington State University to conduct a 5-year research project titled "INTBIO: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PHENOTYPES OF THE ANTHROPOCENE: INTEGRATING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SENSORY STRESSORS ACROSS BIOLOGICAL SCALES." The research aims to (1) reveal whether noise and light pollution consistently select for similar avian phenotypes across six bird species,...

This $269,884 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the Collaborative Research: Biorets project. The project engages pairs of high school teachers from schools serving marginalized STEM student populations in authentic research experiences at three Long Term Ecological Research sites spanning Arctic, temperate forest, and coastal marine ecosystems. Over an 18-month period, teacher pairs will conduct field and lab research with...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $106,000 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to conduct research on designing smart environments to enhance collective learning and creativity. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Developing large-scale online experiments and computational models to investigate how technological...

This Project Grant award of $166,238 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) aims to harmonize long-term ecological data on seabird communities across three marine Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites representing temperate, subpolar, and polar marine ecosystems. The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), the awardee, will test how seabird populations and community structure are affected by local ocean conditions and food resource availability,...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant for $146,066 awarded to Furman University will leverage machine learning techniques to better understand biodiversity patterns measured through passive acoustic sampling. The key activities and deliverables include: Advancing the analysis of acoustic data from diverse ecosystems to address three lines of inquiry: i) how noise affects bird vocalizations and communications, ii) quantification of acoustic indices...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IDEAS LAB: SMARTER MICROBIAL OBSERVATORIES FOR REALTIME EXPERIMENTS (SMORES)" project. This three-year project aims to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler array and intelligent control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface...
