- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $748,624 to North Carolina State University from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding will support research to develop integrated distribution models for approximately 100 North American mammal species. Researchers will combine traditional museum data with new camera trap and citizen science data, including from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Snapshot USA program....
- This three-year, $1.388 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to develop integrated distribution models for approximately 100 North American mammal species. The grantee, Friends of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, will create continental scale species distribution models using traditional museum data integrated with new camera trap and citizen science data. This will allow for analysis of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
- The University of Connecticut received a $559,542 Project Grant awarded August 15, 2025, by the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This collaborative research initiative will investigate how abiotic factors—including carbon dioxide levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and wildfire—interact to affect seed quantity and quality across North American boreal forest species. The project will...
- This $200,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research into the role of native and nonnative trees in structuring urban food webs. The official federal grant program is the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will support a field experiment involving the planting of 200 native and nonnative oak trees in...
This $333,092 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to quantify tree recruitment and vertebrate consumer relationships across North America. The research will collect extensive gradient sampling data on tree fecundity, recruitment stages from seed supply to seedling establishment to advanced regeneration, and vertebrate activity linked to climate and habitat variables. Predictive vertebrate modeling using data from camera traps, live trapping, and bird point counts will be conducted. The goals are to identify tree species limited by recruitment, quantify the relationship to vertebrate activity, and evaluate predictive distributions of environmental change impacts considering climate-vertebrate interactions. Findings will provide insight on food web implications and inform efforts to understand environmental change effects.
