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...
This $167,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to examine biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The key goals are to: Integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in insect and spider populations using DNA-based metabarcoding techniques. Measure the velocity and extent of non-native plant invasions using satellite, aerial,...
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...
This $240,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of symbiosis in driving the evolution and diversification of Hawaiian cixiid planthoppers. The research aims to leverage the unique geography and biodiversity of Hawaii to understand how microbial partnerships may contribute to host species diversity...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod DNA metabarcoding across different landscapes in the Hawaiian Islands. The goal is to infer the processes shaping biodiversity and its decline, and how these can be captured remotely across varying scales and degrees of human impact. The researchers will integrate rapid assessment...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $220,703 Project Grant to the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The three-year award beginning May 1, 2023 will support collaborative research between the Bishop Museum and University of Hawaii at Manoa to address knowledge gaps critical to advancing conservation of native Hawaiian land flora and fauna. Specifically, the grantees will conduct microbial...
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 a $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research in biology from September 2021 through August 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate extremophile sensory convergence in caves. This two-year fellowship will enable the named recipient to study how cave-adapted microorganisms detect and respond to their extreme underground environments despite living in perpetual darkness. Insights from this...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award in the amount of $767,462 to the University of Hawaii (UH) will fund collaborative research to explore the global diversity, distribution, and evolution of Pucciniomycotina yeasts, a poorly studied group of fungi. The project leverages the environmental diversity of Hawaii and evolutionary diversity of zoo animals to systematically isolate and describe hundreds of novel yeast species, using genome...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $373,019 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles Office of Research Administration to support collaborative research modeling the origin and evolution of Hawaiian plants from January 15, 2021 through December 31, 2023. The award is being used to fund research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing...
