This $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $214,838 to the University of Montana for a collaborative research project titled "LTREB RENEWAL: HOW WILL LOCAL ADAPTATION AND CLIMATIC EXTREMES SHAPE CONTINENTAL-SCALE CHANGES IN DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE?" The project aims to use long-term monitoring, transplant experiments, and demographic modeling to understand how two widespread tundra plant...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Program project grant award of $487,639 to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley supports a long-term study of plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome. The 5-year project will collect annual demographic data on over 20 plant species across 100 plots, as well as remotely sensed imagery, to advance ecological theory on community assembly mechanisms and forecast community responses to climate...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,611 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to support research into the mechanisms of altitudinal range expansion by plant species under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino will analyze historical and contemporary plant samples to elucidate patterns of adaptation that have allowed the model species Arabidopsis...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $112,302 to the Corporation of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory at Gothic (RMBL) to conduct long-term monitoring of plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome. The 5-year project, which began on March 1, 2025, aims to assemble a unique record of population and community changes during a period of rapid environmental change. The research will focus on integrating...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award to Duke University in the amount of $116,191 will synthesize long-term, multi-decadal data collected across 40 populations of two tundra plant species in Western North America. The research aims to examine how survival, growth, and reproduction of these tundra plants respond to variations in climatic and non-climatic environmental factors at multiple spatial scales. This will enable assessments...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $912,952 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the diversity, distribution, and resilience of North American plants. The primary objectives are to: 1) Assemble detailed historical and current data on trait diversity and endemism of North American plants to understand the long-term eco-evolutionary drivers of...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) amounting to $138,000 will fund research identifying areas of high biological risk and predicting the impact of climate change on genetic diversity distribution. Awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant will support the grantee located in Merced, California in advancing the program's goals of strengthening the Nation's biological science enterprise and increasing scientific knowledge of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $639,059 Project Grant to the Chicago Botanic Garden under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. The grant will support research linking climate change-induced shifts in plant phenology, or the timing of life cycle events, to plant population dynamics. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental demography project advancing the phenology of...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and species distribution modeling to evaluate the ecological, demographic, and evolutionary drivers of range shifts in the target alpine plant species. In addition to the research, the project will contribute to broadening participation in STEM by providing mentored research opportunities for community college students and developing educational outreach for elementary school students in underserved communities. The award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and address critical environmental challenges.
