This $288,009 National Science Foundation project grant supports research titled "Hydroclimate Variability and the Evolution of Socioecological Complexity in Dryland Farming Communities" under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). Utah State University serves as the primary awardee, with subawards to Brigham Young University and Boise State University to deliver project services and research from August 2021 through July 2023. The grant aims to contribute to understanding how dryland farming communities adapted to hydroclimate variability over time through interdisciplinary social and ecological research. Subawardees will collaborate with the primary awardee to examine case studies and socioecological data relating to dryland agricultural systems and community responses to climate fluctuations. Insights gained from this work could help strengthen scientific knowledge of the interplay between natural and human systems in arid environments.
