The National Science Foundation awarded a $194,257 Project Grant to the University of Idaho under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research from September 1, 2021 through March 31, 2023. The grant funds a study of the cumulative effects of ecological and social stressors on integrated ranching and wildlife systems in Idaho, including drought, wolves, and human decision-making. Under the award, the University of Idaho will conduct rancher surveys and integrate social and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $137,159 to support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology and modern wolf populations. The University of California, Berkeley will lead efforts to study dire wolf and coyote dietary patterns at the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits fossil sites to determine food web relationships and compare...
This Project Grant award of $1,275,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support fundamental research on dryland ecosystems in the Jornada Basin of the southwestern United States. The primary research goals are to study the shift from grasslands to shrub-dominated landscapes, including examining the effects on carbon and nutrient cycling, wind and water erosion, and plant-animal interactions. The award will fund field...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) will support an experimental study on the impact of large grazers, specifically bison, on grassland ecosystems during extreme drought conditions in the Great Plains. The $199,949 award to Kansas State University will fund the development of methodologies to independently manipulate drought and grazing, testing the feasibility of using rainout shelters in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship investigating strategies to enable coexistence between bison and people on working landscapes in Montana. The $120,625 award, effective October 1, 2024, will fund an early career scientist to collaborate with tribal organizations, conservation NGOs, and academic partners to explore how rural and tribal communities are...
This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at Marshall University Research Corporation (MURC) to study the combined effects of multiple environmental drivers, such as fire, invasive species, and climate change, on dryland plant communities in the western United States. The project aims to understand the likelihood of state transitions in big sagebrush ecosystems, which support diverse wildlife and...
This $2.9 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research from 2023 to 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Oregon State University will lead a collaborative effort to study the resilience of freshwater ecosystems under changing climate conditions. Researchers will test how biodiversity and individual variation among species affect an ecosystem's ability to withstand environmental changes. They will conduct...
This three-year, $346,278 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology using fossil records from the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits lagerstatte sites. The researchers will examine dietary patterns in dire wolves and coyotes through ecomorphology, tooth wear analysis, stable isotope analysis, and geochronology to determine food...
This $225,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the CFDA 15.808 Research and Data Collection program, will support Colorado State University (CSU) in developing a suite of wildlife analysis models to assess species responses to changes in vegetation, disturbances from energy development and fires, disease, climate change, and other factors within grassland, shrubland, and alpine ecosystems. The research will focus on ungulate responses to chronic wasting...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
