This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $859,653 to the University of Texas at Austin from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2028. The funding supports research to develop and test models of tropical and temperate forest structure and dynamics through analysis of data from the Smithsonian's Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) network. Investigators will leverage...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a three-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). The award of $396,148 will enable UTEP to train a total of 27 undergraduate students over the summers of 2024-2026. The REU site will focus on critical research topics in ecology and evolution that influence biodiversity in the Chihuahuan Desert. Students will learn...
This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $2,998,993 supports the "RAMP: RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCESS FOR DIVERSE SCIENTISTS (ROADS) IN EXTREME DRYLAND ENVIRONMENTS" program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), a Hispanic-serving institution. The program aims to establish research training and professional development opportunities for postbaccalaureate students from underrepresented backgrounds, with a focus on preparing them for STEM careers in...
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $404,316 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant falls 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 knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems.

This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $834,111 to the University of Texas at Austin to advance understanding of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient through chemical ecology research. The grantee will analyze metabolomes of over 2,000 tree and shrub species across 20 forest plots ranging from boreal Canada to the Amazon rainforest. They will combine these data with existing information on tree community diversity,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $371,438 to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) to study how different physical mechanisms of nutrient delivery influence the functional biodiversity of marine plankton communities in the Galapagos Archipelago. The project combines field and laboratory studies with modeling to evaluate how variations in nutrient...
This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $699,760 Project Grant to The Ohio State University to conduct collaborative research on elucidating the multi-dimensionality and scaling of avian diversity-vegetation relationships. The project will study the impacts of habitat structure, including both vertical and horizontal heterogeneity, on biodiversity using airborne and satellite-based LiDAR sensors. It aims to identify traits that mediate the associations...
