Key activities include assessing microbial decomposition rates, conducting...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $176,388 to Oregon State University (OSU) aims to quantify the production of pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) during wildfires in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest region and examine how this altered carbon affects soil carbon cycling during ecosystem regeneration. The study will leverage a unique dataset on the 2023 Lookout Fire in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to (i)...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Oregon State University (OSU) for the "NSF R2I2 RESILIENCE INNOVATION INCUBATOR FOR CASCADIA COASTAL HAZARDS" project. The project will address the urgent need for coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest to identify and implement solutions to mitigate the impacts of natural hazards such as flooding, erosion, and landslides. By bringing together community members,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Oregon State University a $151,959 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022. The grant funds a research project titled "RAPID: Do Wildfire Effects on Roots and Rhizosphere Activity Control Both Short- and Long- Term Soil C Stabilization?" The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the...
- This $300,539 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Oregon State University to investigate the impacts of wildfire ash deposition on surface ocean biology and carbon/energy transfer. The key products and services to be delivered include: Mechanistic studies to quantify the physiological responses (e.g. growth, productivity, cellular stoichiometry) of phytoplankton and bacterioplankton to different types of wildfire...
- Oregon State University was awarded a $250,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to improve community wildfire resilience by integrating behavioral science with evacuation modeling. Specifically, the university will study household responses to wildfire risk across four wildland-urban interface...
- This $415,880 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Oregon State University. The award will fund a collaborative research project to test models for the fluvial response to the Eocene terrane collision in western Oregon, using integrated tectono-stratigraphy and detrital provenance analysis. The project aims to understand the interactions between tectonic and surface processes that controlled the topographic evolution...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
- This $8,095,000 Project Grant was awarded on June 1, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The award supports an integrated research, education, and extension project focused on building a more skilled and equitable workforce to address climate-driven challenges related to wildfire, forest health, and community resilience in the Pacific Northwest region. The project...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $198,362 RAPID grant to Oregon State University (OSU) under the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program. The grant, titled "RAPID: REIMAGINING A COLLABORATIVE FUTURE: ENGAGING COMMUNITY WITH THE ANDREWS FOREST RESEARCH PROGRAM," aims to: Facilitate local community public engagement with the scientific research community at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in Oregon, which was significantly impacted by a major wildfire. Incorporate local community interests and priorities into the development of a new long-term research program at the forest. Study the impact of the community engagement process on the scientists, participating public, and the long-term research plan. OSU is partnering with the McKenzie Watershed Alliance, a non-profit organization, as a sub-grantee on this project. The knowledge gained will help align the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest's research agenda with the needs of the local rural and economically disadvantaged communities, with potential for broader impact on other long-term ecological research programs and STEM organizations nationwide.
