This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on understanding human-wildlife interactions under global change, with a focus on birds. The fellowship supports a research and training plan to enhance participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The project aims to develop a new modeling framework and global database for predicting human-wildlife interactions and how they are influenced by global change. The research will integrate biological, ecological, sociological, economic, and anthropological data using data science and AI methods. The fellow will mentor underrepresented undergraduate students, engage with faith-based communities on science communication, and advance towards a professorship through the postdoctoral training experience. The award commenced on September 1, 2024 and is scheduled for completion on August 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
