This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $652,022 to the University of Hawaii to conduct collaborative research on biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The project integrates rapid assessment technologies, including satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring, with arthropod metabarcoding to forecast changes in insect and spider populations. The goal is to infer processes shaping...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $468,500 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on February 15, 2021 to complete the project by January 31, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote basic biological research and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant funds an Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site focused on DNA-based discoveries in Hawaii's biodiversity. The University of...
The National Science Foundation awarded $1,153,766 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for the project "Collaborative Research: Bridging the Space-Time Continuum to Investigate How Biodiversity Scales Across Subterranean Systems." Through this funding effective March 1, 2022 and concluding February 28, 2026, the University of Hawaii will deliver several key products and services. Specifically, the University will...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $892,290 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research characterizing mesophoric seaweeds in Hawaii from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. Key products and services include collecting, identifying, and describing previously unknown mesophoric seaweed species from Hawaii to add to biodiversity data and herbarium...
This $654,761 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant awarded to the Chicago Horticultural Society's Chicago Botanic Garden division will investigate how bee populations respond to rapid environmental changes. The researchers will use in-situ temperature manipulations and cross-population comparisons to measure the direct and indirect effects of climate change, including impacts mediated through changes in food resources and nest parasites, on vital...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, provides $506,795 to conduct collaborative evolutionary and functional genomics research on Hawaiian Bidens plants. The research aims to understand the genetic and developmental changes responsible for the diversification of leaf, fruit/seed, and flower traits in this rapid adaptive radiation. The project will generate new genome assemblies, identify key genetic...
This $651,084 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to determine how microbes impact the response of mosquitoes and Hawaiian honeycreepers to climate change. The University of Hawaii at Manoa is the primary awardee, with a sub-award to the U.S. Geological Survey. The research aims to: Clarify how the mosquito microbiome varies with elevation and impacts mosquito population dynamics in Hawaii....
