This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($937,251) funds research into scaling climate connectivity and communities in streams. Led by Pennsylvania State University from March 2022 through December 2023, the grant supports a three-year field study across 10 regions in the southern, central, and western U.S. Researchers will collect streamflow and biological data to investigate differences between intermittent and perennial streams. The University...
This $450,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by the University of Montana to investigate the vulnerabilities of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer modeling to test hypotheses about the thermal sensitivities and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $928,161 Project Grant to The Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to resolve multi-scale ecological consequences of thermal refuges amidst climate warming. Over a five-year period ending April 2028, the grantee will document the extent and patterns of diversity associated with thermal refuges in freshwater ecosystems. Research will assess population-level costs and benefits of...
Montana State University received a $189,528 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023.
