The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $220,703 Project Grant to the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The three-year award beginning May 1, 2023 will support collaborative research between the Bishop Museum and University of Hawaii at Manoa to address knowledge gaps critical to advancing conservation of native Hawaiian land flora and fauna. Specifically, the grantees will conduct microbial genomics, field ecology and captive rearing diet studies to determine feeding preferences and ecology of endangered Hawaiian land snails. The research aims to identify preferred plant resources and microbial communities that can improve snail survivorship and breeding in captivity to expand conservation capacity. Findings will also support restoration of degraded habitats and long-term land snail conservation in Hawaii. The grant reflects the NSF's mission to strengthen biological sciences and increase scientific knowledge to address major problems through merit-reviewed funding of basic research.
