Washington State University received a $399,616 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on September 1, 2021 to conduct collaborative research examining the effects of declines in top scavengers from microbes to ecosystems. The research is being carried out under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major issues facing the nation. Over a three-year period ending August 31, 2024, WSU researchers will work to determine the impacts of reduced scavenger populations on microbial communities, nutrient cycling, and broader ecosystem functions.
