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 technologies like DNA sequencing, image processing, and passive data collection to improve the efficiency of conservation science efforts. The project continues long-term monitoring of Grenada's ecosystems, trains students in both established and cutting-edge research techniques, and advances collaborative conservation initiatives between U.S. and Grenadian partners. Outcomes from the student research projects are expected to inform policy and management decisions to support global biodiversity conservation goals in both marine and terrestrial environments.
