This $439,723 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports a 3-year research and training program focused on human-wildlife interactions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The program provides hands-on field research experience for cohorts of six U.S. graduate and undergraduate students from underrepresented STEM backgrounds annually. Students investigate the ecology and conservation status of vulnerable...
This $1,000,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a five-year initiative at Hawai`i Pacific University (HPU) to support scholarships and comprehensive support services for 11 high-achieving, low-income undergraduate students pursuing STEM degrees in computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and biotechnology engineering. The project aims to increase STEM degree completion and career...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of Hawaii at Manoa a $4,999,715 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to provide scholarships to support students at Hawaiian and Pacific Island institutions of higher education in STEM degree programs. The project aims to contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the recruitment, retention, and graduation of up to 250 high-achieving,...
This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the relationship between environmental variation and the evolution of cooperative social groups in Australian birds. The project will leverage citizen science data and field experiments to understand how factors like temperature, rainfall, and land use impact group size...
This $713,392 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to characterize reproductive strategies in sea turtles. The primary awardee, the University of Florida, will use stable isotope analysis to identify the source of nutrients used by three sea turtle species to produce eggs, determining whether they rely on stored energy reserves (capital breeding) or current food intake (income breeding). The...
This $299,925 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of a research-practice partnership between Teachers College Columbia University and elementary school teachers on the island of Molokai, Hawaii. The goal is to co-design curricular units that integrate science modules from the Full Option Science System (FOSS) with computational thinking and computer science projects for elementary students. The project aims to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $495,376 will support the University of Hawaii at Manoa in transforming its marine biology graduate program to incorporate place-based pedagogies. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), this three-year award beginning October 1, 2022 aims to establish a community-embedded science approach. Graduate students will undertake a two-week intensive immersing them in relationship building, service learning, and cultural education...

This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the evolutionary adaptation of introduced parrot species in Southern California. The research will use the wild parrot populations descended from released pets over the past 70 years as a natural experiment to examine how quickly bird species can adapt to new urban environments. The fellow will work with the Natural...

This $199,994 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a study of the white tern (Gygis alba) population in urban Honolulu, Hawaii. Led by a faculty member at Kapiolani Community College, the project will use techniques like nest monitoring and radio telemetry tracking to gather data on the tern's breeding biology, habitat use, and movement patterns in this urban setting. The research objectives are to assess the biological implications of urban survival for the white tern, document its spatial and temporal distribution, and contribute to management of this and other urban wildlife species in Hawaii. The project will partner undergraduate student researchers with local scientists, build on an existing nest monitoring program, and disseminate findings through publications, presentations, and K-12 educational materials. This award aims to advance understanding of how this seabird species persists and thrives in the urban core of Honolulu, while also enhancing the research capacity of the faculty and institution.
