The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $155,542 Project Grant under the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079) to Cornell University. This three-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, supports a collaborative research project titled "IRES: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: STUDENT-SCOUT PARTNERSHIP FOR EXPLORING SUSTAINABLE TRANSITIONS OF KENYAN DRYLANDS." The project addresses socio-environmental changes in Kenyan dryland systems by forming a student-scout partnership to understand and promote sustainable transitions. Selected U.S. undergraduate students receive extensive preparation, including language training and research methods studies, before spending 8 weeks in Kenya conducting field research using techniques such as GPS livestock tracking, plant surveys, wildlife censuses, household surveys, and interviews. This interdisciplinary research contributes to important findings on dryland sustainability while training a diverse group of future STEM professionals. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
