The grant period runs from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Are Amazonian and Andean Ecosystems Close to a Tipping Point?" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of this program is to promote advancement in...
- This $861,035 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into how mature trees in the Amazon rainforest are adapting to rising temperatures. Researchers at the University of Miami will conduct field studies around Peru's "Boiling River", a unique geothermal area that mimics the predicted future temperature conditions for much of the Amazon. The key objectives are to 1) map the environmental conditions in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program provides $2,453,417 to Yale University to study how forest fragmentation and climate change impacts the Amazon rainforest ecosystem. The key products and services to be delivered include: Field-based measurements of forest dynamics, animal exclusion experiments, and remote sensing mapping to examine how changes in tree species and animal populations affect the resilience of Amazon forest edges to...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Yale University received a $599,447 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) on August 1, 2026, for an LTREB (Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology) renewal project extending through July 31, 2031. The award funds a two-decade longitudinal study at the Tanguro Research Station in the Brazilian Amazon investigating tropical forest resilience and...
- This $129,702 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research between the University of Miami and its sub-awardee to test for the acclimation of individual tropical rainforest trees to over four decades of climate change through a longitudinal study. The research aims to improve understanding of how Amazonian tree species have responded or not responded to climate change and the consequences for species performance and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $240,000 in funding from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the "escalator to extinction" phenomenon in tropical mountain ecosystems. The research aims to establish the mechanistic drivers behind shifts in species distributions and community changes in response to climate change in biodiverse tropical...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,010,368 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The grant funds collaborative research on the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest recovery after hurricanes. Researchers are conducting a large-scale rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico recovering from Hurricane Maria to characterize forest resilience to climate change. Nine...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $141,389 Project Grant to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Division of Research & Innovation on May 15, 2021 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports collaborative research to quantify the response of stream ecosystems to punctuated cold-stress disturbances across a semi-arid to sub-humid gradient. The research aims to increase scientific knowledge and understanding...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, totaling $131,268, supports collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ARE AMAZONIAN AND ANDEAN ECOSYSTEMS CLOSE TO A TIPPING POINT?" from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The award is being administered under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will leverage the funding to conduct research in partnership with other organizations exploring whether Amazonian and Andean ecosystems are approaching a tipping point due to environmental changes. The results of this research should provide insights with broad implications for ecosystem resilience.
