This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to study ecosystem dynamics in indigenous socio-ecological systems (SES) undergoing restoration in Hawaii. The $240,000 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, supports a research and training plan that aims to quantify spatiotemporal nutrient dynamics, generate predictive models for primary productivity and nutrient dynamics, and develop a framework to enhance understanding of nutrient cycling in restored indigenous SES. The fellow will use a two-eyed seeing approach to incorporate conventional and indigenous techniques, with the goal of elevating diverse expertise and broadening participation in biology research. The fellowship also includes mentorship activities for postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates from underrepresented groups in the Pacific Islander community. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
