This Project Grant award for $345,619 was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Cornell University. The funding will support a 24-month collaborative research project to investigate how sea level rise and increased coastal salinization are affecting amphibian species (frogs and toads) in the Gulf and Atlantic coastal regions. The project will use an experimental approach to identify life-stage specific mortality rates from salt...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) in the amount of $488,890 provides funding to the University of Notre Dame to study the response of biodiverse freshwater ecosystems to environmental changes caused by rising sea levels. The researchers will use the Izabal/Golfete system, a freshwater ecosystem in Eastern Guatemala, as a natural experiment to investigate how gradual versus rapid marine water inundation impacts the environment and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Phenotypic Flexibility May Allow Long-Lived Species to Buffer from Environmental Change" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences project grant, awarded under CFDA 47.074, provides $242,000 to the University of Houston System to study the phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution of a freshwater microbial eukaryote in response to environmental changes caused by road salts and nanoparticle biocides. The 3-year project will measure organismal and gene expression traits before and after experimental evolution in contaminated environments to understand how...
This National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $515,158 to The University of Texas at San Antonio from October 2022 to September 2025. The award will support research to develop next-generation species distribution models that integrate organism-level bioenergetic budgets with community-level predator-prey interactions. Researchers will conduct laboratory experiments and field studies on fish populations in Southern Appalachian streams...
This $425,200 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Arizona State University from July 2022 through June 2024 towards understanding responses to climate change and invasion vulnerability in drylands of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The research will combine geospatial techniques such as species distribution modeling with a trait-based methodology to assess amphibian species' vulnerability to...
This $548,713 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species impact ecosystem functioning in rocky intertidal communities. The project integrates controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to characterize community thermal performance and drivers of ecosystem metabolism under varying pH and disturbance regimes. The award...
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 (NSF) awarded a $599,999 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of South Carolina. This long-term research project aims to study salt marsh primary production and ecosystem stability in response to changing sea levels. The research will test three hypotheses: 1) marsh elevation gain is proportional to net ecosystem production, 2) elevation change is constrained by production and decomposition, and 3) mineral...
This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
