This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 to support research examining the genetic, physiological, and environmental drivers of plant-pollinator niche dynamics across scales of biological organization. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems.

Specifically, the fellowship funding will allow for integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes as they relate to pollinator foraging patterns. Using molecular techniques including pollen DNA metabarcoding, the fellow will analyze pollen collected from individual bees in nature to understand the flowers visited during natural foraging. This work aims to improve understanding of how environmental and biological factors influence variation in pollinator foraging behavior and the ability to predict impacts of environmental changes on pollinator biodiversity and pollination. Broader impacts include efforts to improve accessibility of field-based research and establish community science programs engaging non-professional enthusiasts.
