This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $4,500,000 to The Ohio State University to establish the Global Center on AI and Biodiversity Change (ABC). The Center's objectives are to develop AI-enabled solutions for monitoring and understanding climate-induced biodiversity changes, and to support conservation decision-making and policy evaluation. Key focus areas include elucidating species boundaries, understanding functional diversity, detecting range shifts, and quantifying changes in species interactions. The grant supports establishing partnerships with collaborators in Australia, Canada, the UK, and other countries to leverage global expertise and resources. Subawards totaling $415,000 are planned for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pittsburgh to contribute specialized expertise in acoustic monitoring and machine learning for biodiversity detection. The award period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2028.
