This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a $466,599 research project at Washington State University to study the hydrological and ecosystem impacts of beaver dam analogs, a common river restoration approach. The 3-year project, running from October 2024 to September 2027, aims to develop the scientific foundation for measuring and modeling the effects of these structures on water flows, with the goal of improving restoration...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $499,853 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to establish a North American Beaver Knowledge and Management Network. The network aims to synthesize research on the relationship between beaver management practices, beavers, and beaver-related ecosystem services, while identifying legal and regional variability in beaver management. The project will facilitate...
This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $202,138 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant funds a collaborative research project to examine the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes over the past 30 to 5 million years. The researchers will collect fossils and sediment samples from the U.S. Great Plains and Northwest to study how changes in habitat...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant, titled "DISES: RESTORING INDIGENOUS SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS (RISES)," provides $1,599,707 in funding from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports a multidisciplinary effort to develop a framework for restoring Indigenous socio-environmental systems (SES) that were disrupted by colonial activities and intensive land use. This involves quantifying long-term Indigenous SES dynamics,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) totaling $923,098 supports collaborative research to build informatics capacity for studying ancient environmental DNA (aDNA) and its impact on past biodiversity dynamics and climate change. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Integrating aDNA data into the Neotoma Paleoecology Database, linking it to bioinformatic resources like NCBI/EMBL and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $200,000 provides funding for research investigating the socioecological outcomes of restoration programs in forest-grassland ecosystems. The research aims to address critical knowledge gaps on the social and environmental impacts of restoration, including tradeoffs between ecological and social goals. The project employs multiple methods such as remote sensing, field...
This $268,585 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports long-term research examining human-environment interactions along the Pacific Coast. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct archaeological surveys and excavations, radiocarbon dating, and stable isotope analysis of marine shells and fish remains to develop a chronology of coastal occupation and paleoenvironmental change over...
