- This Project Grant award, totaling $299,319.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant aims to identify the diversity of bees within pollinator-independent cropping systems consisting of cotton, peanut, and soybean, evaluate foraging preferences of bee species, assess nutritional profiles of floral resources, and model potential pollination...
- This $742,173 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310, Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to Colorado State University will support a 4-year research initiative to evaluate interactions between wild bee populations and managed honeybees in peri-urban landscapes of the American West. The research aims to (1) characterize the extent and strength of resource overlap and competition between wild bees and honeybees, (2) determine if honeybees...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310, supports a research project to investigate the effects of climate warming on a suite of crop-associated arthropod species. The $120,000 award, with a performance period from August 2024 to August 2026, will enable the University of California, Davis to leverage a novel ecoinformatics approach...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides USD 240,000 in funding from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The award supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to study the relationship between pollinator thermal performance and limitation in apple production in the Midwestern US. The research project aims to determine which pollinator groups (e.g., honey bees, bumble bees, solitary bees) are best...
- This Project Grant award of $710,624.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310). The funding supports a research project at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to evaluate the pollen protein-to-lipid (P:L) nutritional optima for several bumble bee species in the United States. The project will assess bumble bee preferences for P:L ratios across life stages...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $173,538 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Rutgers, The State University to evaluate the impact of adjacent forest age on wild bee communities and apple crop yields in the northeastern U.S. The project aims to provide evidence-based guidelines for managing forests to support crop pollination and production. The research will collect data on wild...
- The University of California, Riverside received a $930,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (CFDA 10.332) to conduct research on heat resilience in honey bee populations. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) identify commercially viable honey bee stocks that are resilient to heat, 2) determine the physiological mechanisms governing sex- and stock-specific heat resilience, and 3) develop genetic...
- This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research to develop an early warning system for detecting bacterial and fungal diseases in crops, livestock, and the environment. The project aims to use honeybees as natural collectors of environmental samples, with the research team placing identical hive monitoring stations in suburban,...
- This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate how the diversity of pollinator species in a community affects the spread and impact of a common gut parasite in bumble bees. The goal is to advance understanding of host-parasite interactions and inform management practices to support pollinator...
- This $749,651 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to understand how honey bee-associated microbes affect the health, fecundity, and longevity of honey bee queens and overall colony health. The prime awardee, Trustees of Indiana University, will collaborate with researchers at North Carolina State University and Wellesley College as sub-awardees to conduct field...
