The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Oklahoma a $778,913 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GCR: CAN IMPROVED ECOLOGICAL FORECASTING ACCELERATE SUSTAINABILITY TRANSFORMATION IN URBAN LIGHTING?" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2026.
The grant supports the provision of research services focused on testing theories of sustainability transformations science by gathering detailed national survey data on artificial light at night systems and creating improved bird migration forecasts specific to impacts of artificial light at night. A subaward of $123,456 was provided to Colorado State University to coordinate convergence workshops, ensure implementation of best practices in convergence research, and bring together advocacy coalitions and constituents working on issues such as protecting night skies from light pollution to explore whether targeted messaging can influence policy, attitudes, and behaviors regarding light usage.
