This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering provides $110,070 to support the GYP-NEXTGEN program from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The program aims to advance research on gypsum ecosystems while providing international research experiences to 18 undergraduate students from three U.S. institutions - John Carroll University, New Mexico State University, and Oberlin College. Students will conduct mentored research projects alongside experts in Spain on plant communities specialized to unusual gypsum soils. They will develop research proposals, collect field and lab data, and communicate their findings. The subawardee, New Mexico State University, will oversee program coordination and student placement at research partners in Spain, including the Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología, Universidad de Almería, and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. This award supports the Office of International Science and Engineering's mission to strengthen international partnerships and contribute to the global scientific community through collaborative student research experiences abroad.
