The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit research administration entity, received a $268,066 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) to enable 15 U.S. students from underrepresented groups to participate in an 8-week collaborative research program in Colombia. The project aims to investigate the impacts of climate and landscape changes on plant-pollinator interactions in tropical ecosystems, with a focus on enhancing understanding of ecology, physiology, and conservation of these critical relationships. The research provides students with training in observational, comparative, and experimental methods across various scales of biological organization, while building international research collaborations to address challenges in biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
