This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $645,270 to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) to conduct research aimed at informing full annual cycle conservation of migratory birds in the Appalachian Mountains region. The project will leverage emerging technologies like remote sensing, radar, and machine learning to map stopover habitat use and forest structure characteristics that...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $298,529 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Colorado State University. The grant, titled "EAGER: Harnessing Citizen Science to Disentangle the Social and Ecological Drivers of Urban Biodiversity," aims to explore how socioeconomic factors affect biodiversity in cities. The research will analyze data from citizen science projects like eBird to identify and quantify biases related to socioeconomic status,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $827,019 to the University of Massachusetts to develop models and algorithms for inferring bird population movements from citizen science data. Leveraging billions of bird observations from the eBird citizen science project, the awardee will create computational tools to simulate migratory routes and produce movement...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) for $421,043, aims to advance the understanding of neural mechanisms that allow wild songbirds to adapt their behavior to urban environments. The research will leverage brain transcriptomics and gene manipulation tools to characterize differences in brain gene networks associated with behavioral adjustments in urban male song...
This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the relationship between environmental variation and the evolution of cooperative social groups in Australian birds. The project will leverage citizen science data and field experiments to understand how factors like temperature, rainfall, and land use impact group size...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
This $396,474 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research examining the links between food security and access to natural resources, particularly wildlife, in the context of urbanization. The project, led by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, uses survey methods to investigate how social and economic factors influence people's ability to access wildlife resources and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award, titled "STAR: SONGBIRDS AS POTENTIAL POLLINATORS? UNCOVERING BIRD-FLOWER INTERACTIONS IN NORTH AMERICA", will fund research to investigate the potential role of migratory songbirds in plant pollination in North America. The $329,069 award, which runs from Feb 15, 2025 to Jan 31, 2027, will support Colorado State University in conducting field research and modeling to address three key research...
