This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $827,019 to the University of Massachusetts to develop models and algorithms for inferring bird population movements from citizen science data. Leveraging billions of bird observations from the eBird citizen science project, the awardee will create computational tools to simulate migratory routes and produce movement...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate environmental and genomic regulation of molt in birds. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise. The grantee will conduct integrative research to understand the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes that govern molting...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $699,760 Project Grant to The Ohio State University to conduct collaborative research on elucidating the multi-dimensionality and scaling of avian diversity-vegetation relationships. The project will study the impacts of habitat structure, including both vertical and horizontal heterogeneity, on biodiversity using airborne and satellite-based LiDAR sensors. It aims to identify traits that mediate the associations...
This $149,076.50 federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA Program 15.808 - USGS Research and Data Collection, aims to track and understand range shifts in Southwestern bird species populations in response to climate change. The project, led by Utah State University, will partner with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to develop novel statistical models and leverage...
This Project Grant award of $645,270.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to address research and implementation challenges in full annual cycle conservation of migratory birds in the Appalachian Mountains region. The project will utilize big data sources and machine learning to map stopover habitat use and quantify forest structure, and employ a translational ecology approach to collaborate with science users and bridge the...
This $916,173 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) aims to develop a user-friendly conservation tool to help land managers prioritize actions to restore declining grassland bird populations across North America. The project will collect data on migratory patterns, genetic health, and reproductive output of three grassland bird species to build a genomically-informed, full annual cycle, integrated...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $329,069 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the potential role of songbirds as pollinators in North America. The award period runs from February 15, 2025 to January 31, 2027. The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) Investigate individual bird characteristics and environmental factors associated with the presence of pollen on songbirds; 2) Examine...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $759,916 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to study the connection between migratory timing and resource availability in songbirds. The project aims to: 1) estimate plasticity and adaptation mechanisms for migratory timing, 2) examine the molecular basis of this trait, and 3) integrate these findings into predictive models for how migratory...
