This federal Project Grant award of $200,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Hampton University will support research examining food web characteristics of urban and rural oyster reefs using stable isotope analysis. The project aims to improve understanding of energy flows, trophic complexity, and food web vulnerabilities in these critical coastal habitats, particularly within urbanized systems. Undergraduate students at Hampton University will participate in the research, gaining technical training in field ecology, stable isotope analyses, and statistical analyses. The research results will be disseminated through traditional and non-traditional approaches, such as conferences, peer-reviewed publications, media articles, and photo journals. This award reflects NSF's mission to strengthen STEM undergraduate education and research, with a focus on supporting faculty members at Historically Black Colleges and Universities to build research capacity.
