This $235,970 Project Grant was awarded on November 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) to Wisconsin Lutheran College. The grant supports the "GRENADA SURF-TURF" International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program, which enables 18 U.S. undergraduate students to conduct ecological research on coral reefs and in rainforests in Grenada. The program aims to integrate traditional field methods with emerging...
This $439,723 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079) supports a three-year research and education initiative focused on human-wildlife interactions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The project, led by Florida International University, engages cohorts of six U.S. graduate and undergraduate students from underrepresented STEM backgrounds in an immersive training and research experience....
This $715,774 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to evaluate the resilience of tropical reef ecosystems to human impacts. The project is being conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and involves field experiments in Moorea, French Polynesia to examine how the sequence of increased fishing pressure, nutrient pollution, and sedimentation affects the resistance and recovery of short algal turf...
This $132,288 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) during 2024-2026. The program will engage 7 undergraduate students annually in 12-week research projects and professional development activities in a range of marine science areas, including opportunities to participate in a research cruise. The award supports BIOS's...
This National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering project grant, awarded September 1, 2022 for $241,760, will fund an international research experience for undergraduate students in freshwater ecosystems in Guyana through August 31, 2025.

The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
This $199,376 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The project aims to improve understanding of how water masses are changing in the Caribbean and the processes driving spatial differences in mixing and transport, with implications for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and future climate and hurricane predictions....

This $213,969 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the "Grenada SURF-TURF: Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows - Teaming Up on Reefs and in Forests" collaborative research program. The program provides international research experiences to 18 U.S. undergraduate students, focusing on integrated assessments of coral reef and rainforest ecosystems in Grenada.

The key objectives are to: (1) continue long-term ecological monitoring using traditional survey techniques, (2) explore the efficacy of technology-assisted data collection methods, (3) train students in both established and cutting-edge conservation science methods, and (4) advance collaborative conservation efforts across borders. The research outcomes will inform policy and management decisions to support global conservation goals in both marine and terrestrial tropical ecosystems. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027.
