The National Science Foundation awarded a $194,257 Project Grant to the University of Idaho under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research from September 1, 2021 through March 31, 2023. The grant funds a study of the cumulative effects of ecological and social stressors on integrated ranching and wildlife systems in Idaho, including drought, wolves, and human decision-making.
Under the award, the University of Idaho will conduct rancher surveys and integrate social and ecological data into habitat suitability and macro-level models. The Ohio State University and University of Michigan-Flint will receive $49,064 and $49,064 in subawards, respectively, to collaborate on survey design and analysis, habitat modeling, and incorporating social factors into integrative modeling. The goal is to strengthen understanding of the interconnected Earth system through interdisciplinary research on ranching, wildlife, and human impacts.
