Specifically, the grantee will conduct...
The National Science Foundation awarded Ohio Wesleyan University a $499,750 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to establish the Macrosystems Ecology for All Research Coordination Network from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2027. The Network will provide training to ecology faculty, particularly those from teaching-focused institutions, in macrosystems ecology concepts and techniques for working with large environmental datasets. It will support faculty participation in five in-person meetings and online workshops on data science, highlight examples of macrosystems research, and facilitate the development of collaborative, multi-site projects engaging undergraduates. The Network will partner with related organizations and emphasize diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in all activities. It aims to enhance the skills of participating faculty and expose more undergraduate students to emerging data science and macrosystems approaches.
