This $307,069 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds the CRUSTNET research project at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). The key objectives of the four-year project are to: Determine global-scale drivers of functional biodiversity in biological soil crusts (biocrusts), which are ecologically crucial microbial communities covering significant parts of the Earth's surface. Investigate how biocrust biodiversity...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "BIOLOGICAL SOIL CRUSTS AS A MODEL SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study biological soil crusts as a model system for understanding impacts of climate change. The goal of the Biological Sciences program is to promote advancement in the biological sciences and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $950,580 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074).

This program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing knowledge and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 funds research into symbiosis as a means of survival for microbes in biological soil crusts. The award is provided under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise. The fellow, Dr. Erin Carr, will conduct integrative research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from August 2022 to July 2024. The research aims to increase understanding...
This Project Grant award, totaling $202,001, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Northern Arizona University (NAU). The funding supports a collaborative research project to investigate plant-soil feedbacks and their role in promoting the resilience of pinon woodlands to severe drought in the western United States. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award include field inoculations, laboratory...
This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
This $288,720 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project to investigate how increased nutrient availability during the Tonian period (1000-720 million years ago) may have driven the diversification and ecological rise of eukaryotes, transforming the marine ecosystem. Led by the University of New Mexico, the project integrates paleontological, geochemical, sedimentological, and stratigraphic data...
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...
