This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,611 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to support research into the mechanisms of altitudinal range expansion by plant species under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino will analyze historical and contemporary plant samples to elucidate patterns of adaptation that have allowed the model species Arabidopsis...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
This $1,714,712 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to critically evaluate the ecological and functional drivers of polyploid establishment in plants. The project aims to use population-level experiments with a model aquatic species under varied stresses to elucidate the mechanisms that allow polyploid species to thrive, especially in stressful habitats. The research will contribute to understanding the formative...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $373,019 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles Office of Research Administration to support collaborative research modeling the origin and evolution of Hawaiian plants from January 15, 2021 through December 31, 2023. The award is being used to fund research 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...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod DNA metabarcoding across different landscapes in the Hawaiian Islands. The goal is to infer the processes shaping biodiversity and its decline, and how these can be captured remotely across varying scales and degrees of human impact. The researchers will integrate rapid assessment...
This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research to study the origin and evolution of vertebrate diversity on the Marajo Island in the Amazon rainforest. The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
This $167,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to examine biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands.
