- The University of Florida was awarded a $999,721 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to develop strategies to counter the effects of rising sea levels, climate change, urban sprawl, and farming on coastal groundwater supplies. The project will focus on the following key activities: Developing decision-support tools and recommending nature-based solutions to reduce groundwater hazards such as saltwater intrusion and flooding in low-lying, densely...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded the University of Florida $774,759.00 on September 1, 2025 to support the construction of a state-of-the-art recirculating seawater system (RAS) at the university's Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience. This infrastructure improvement will allow for precise control of environmental conditions such as temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels, significantly expanding the lab's capacity to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $211,758 Project Grant to The Administrators Of The Tulane Educational Fund, doing business as Tulane University, under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The grant supports a 3-year research project to explore the interplay between plant-pathogen interactions and environmental stressors, such as increased salinity, affecting freshwater swamp trees along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research titled "The Invasive Tradeoffs Hypothesis: How Does Wetland Plant Removal Affect Microbial and Nutrient Linkages." The award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund research from...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $633,443 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Florida to conduct research on the predictability of wading bird dynamics in the Everglades. The grant will leverage long-term monitoring data to examine how scale impacts ecological forecasting, with the goal of improving forecasts to guide Everglades restoration efforts. Specifically, the research will: Quantify how predictability, drivers, and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded $350,698 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to The Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts. This three-year Project Grant will support collaborative research quantifying the effects of different nitrogen forms on salt marsh resilience to environmental change. Specifically, the research team will conduct paired nutrient enrichment experiments across two coastal...
- The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees Office of Research Division, doing business as UCF, has been awarded a $814,433 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, supports collaborative research to resolve and predict dispersal patterns of marine larvae using population genetic models. The project team will apply isolation-by-distance theory to estimate mean parent-offspring dispersal distances for...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees a $374,855 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research on the interplay of nitrogen loading and ecosystem sustainability in threatened wetlands located in the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve in Florida. A team of researchers will conduct field experiments, mapping, and mathematical modeling to study how coastal wetlands remove nitrogen pollution and investigate whether wetland decline is contributing to increased nutrient levels threatening human and environmental health. Findings will help land managers plan for the future of these threatened wetlands and their ability to withstand rising seas and pollution loads. The research aims to advance understanding of coastal wetland resilience to sea level rise, in line with the objectives of the Biological Sciences federal grant program.
