- This Project Grant award of $170,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to support a postdoctoral fellowship. The award, granted on September 15, 2023, will fund an early career scientist's research on the intended and unintended consequences of pesticide bans and other regulatory actions over a 2-year period ending August 31, 2025. The research aims to identify and analyze key policies that influence...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a two-year postdoctoral fellowship to study the relationship between pesticide exposure, social factors, and human biology during childhood. The research will be conducted under the sponsorship of Drs. Elizabeth Mallott and Theresa Gildner at Washington University in St. Louis. The project aims to: 1) examine associations between pesticide exposure, body...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $268,066 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to support collaborative research on tropical plant-pollinator interactions. The project will engage 15 U.S. students, particularly from underrepresented groups, in an 8-week international research program in Colombia to investigate the impacts of climate and landscape changes on plant-pollinator relationships....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $606,102 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to determine the synergistic effects of global warming on fundamental vital rates, fitness, and predation of tropical insect herbivores. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University of Connecticut will conduct experimental...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,158,300.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by The Pennsylvania State University to investigate how plant chemistry and leaf-associated microbes influence the behavior and population dynamics of herbivores and their predators in both natural and agricultural settings. The research aims to inform strategies for reducing herbivore damage, protecting biodiversity, and strengthening...
- This $1,207,852 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund a 5-year collaborative research project focused on understanding how landscape structure influences tropical forest regeneration in Madagascar. The project aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of landscape properties like habitat amount, fragmentation, and matrix quality on seed dispersal and post-dispersal seedling recruitment in regenerating tropical forests. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to the University of Montana to conduct research on the ecological impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change in tropical rainforests. Spanning from August 2024 to July 2028, the study aims to understand how the loss of a key mammal species, the bearded pig, affects forest regeneration, carbon storage, and the abundance of other animals in the ecosystem. The research has three main objectives: 1) assessing how the loss of...
- This Project Grant award of $449,811 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079) supports an international field school called ECOTROP that examines the impacts of past human settlements on tropical forest ecology in Gabon, Central Africa. The key products and services under this award include: Comparative research on soil chemistry, plant communities, and vertebrate/invertebrate biodiversity at former settlement sites...
- This Project Grant award of $535,370.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project to study the effects of warming and biotic interactions on aphid populations in a Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The research aims to improve understanding of factors that affect insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Through field experiments, the project will test how interactions between...
This Project Grant award of $151,357 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the NSF Geosciences program will support research to examine the interactions between climate change, agricultural practices, pesticide use, and impacts on human and wildlife well-being in the tropical forest-agricultural region around Uganda's Kibale National Park. The key research activities include: (1) quantifying environmental pressures across farms; (2) evaluating household decisions about pesticide use; (3) measuring pesticide concentrations in the environment; (4) determining pesticide exposure in humans and wildlife; (5) assessing susceptibility to pesticide exposure; and (6) modeling relationships within the socio-environmental system. The project will also provide training for students from underserved communities and postdoctoral scholars, as well as collaborate with the Uganda Wildlife Authority to enhance public awareness about pesticide use and exposure mitigation. Subawards are planned to support the rainfall analysis, social science research, and other project components through partnerships with institutions like the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the Research Foundation of the City University of New York, and the University of Colorado.
