The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,986,439 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The grant, titled "RAMP: MAKING MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS: FOSTERING THE INTEGRATION OF BIODIVERSITY PATTERNS WITH GENETIC EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS (BIOGEM)", will support a multi-year research and training program focused on understanding organismal responses...
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 of $240,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The research focuses on investigating the "escalator to extinction" - the process by which montane specialist species shift their distributions to higher elevations in response to warming climates, leading to mountain top extinctions. The project will use long-term data analysis and field experiments to establish the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology focused on investigating how dominant plant species mediate elevational range shifts for subordinate species in tropical mountain ecosystems in the Andes. The fellowship supports research and training to broaden participation in biology from underrepresented groups. The fellow will conduct field experiments transplanting plant turfs to higher elevations and artificially...
The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,999,549 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Arizona for the "CAMBIUM - Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation through Biodiversity Informatics Education and Mentoring" program. This 5-year project from September 2024 to August 2029 aims to train a new generation of scientists in biodiversity informatics to analyze, integrate, and utilize large-scale biodiversity data to address climate...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the biogeography and community assembly of North American Carboniferous ecosystems. Specifically, the fellow will analyze the fossil record using approaches including anatomy, geology, and ecology to determine how ancient land ecosystems responded to environmental and...
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 $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...
