This $100,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Kansas State University (KSU) to study how changes in land cover and climate impact water and carbon cycling in grasslands. The project will quantify the effects of woody encroachment on soil hydrology and groundwater processes, as well as measure changes in belowground carbon dynamics in a Kansas grassland ecosystem. By integrating new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to The Pennsylvania State University, aims to investigate how concurrent changes in climate and land cover impact below-ground water and carbon cycle processes in a Kansas grassland. The $100,000 award, effective from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027, will enable the research team to: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater residence times; 2) measure the impact of woody...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $100,000 to Kansas State University to investigate how to build and maintain social, political, economic, and environmental conditions that support collective action for sustainable management of natural resources, with a focus on urban/rural native watershed habitat rehabilitation and maintenance. The project aims to develop multi-site, community-engaged research labs that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $305,824 to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct collaborative research on how changes in land cover and climate are impacting grassland water and carbon cycles below-ground. The project will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and storage, 2) measure the impact on groundwater and stream hydrology, 3) quantify changes in subsurface carbon processes, and 4)...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) will support an experimental study on the impact of large grazers, specifically bison, on grassland ecosystems during extreme drought conditions in the Great Plains. The $199,949 award to Kansas State University will fund the development of methodologies to independently manipulate drought and grazing, testing the feasibility of using rainout shelters in the...
This $500,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds the Developing New Strategies for Urban-Rural Systems Research Coordination Network (DISES-RCN) led by Iowa State University from August 2022 to January 2027. The DISES-RCN will establish an interdisciplinary network of researchers and stakeholders to address interconnected social, environmental, and technological challenges facing five metropolitan areas and their surrounding rural...

This $1,100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports an innovative research collaboration between New Mexico State University (NMSU) and local stakeholders in northern New Mexico. The goal is to enhance the resilience of traditional acequia irrigation systems and associated socio-environmental systems to climate change and other emerging challenges. The project employs a convergence research approach that integrates...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $499,933 to the University of Oklahoma will establish a Research Coordination Network (RCN) to develop a community of practice for co-producing resilient socio-ecological systems in grasslands. The RCN will advance research capacity in the Great Plains region by building connections across stakeholders including researchers, governments, NGOs, tribal nations, resource managers, and agricultural producers. Key objectives include: 1) integrating social, ecological, geospatial, and participatory frameworks for resilient grassland ecosystems and communities, 2) advancing metrics, methods and infrastructure for community resilience, and 3) co-developing formal and informal education, as well as "wise use" practices for resilient grasslands. The award includes a $139,933 sub-grant to Kansas State University to serve as a co-organizer for the 2026 Ogallala Aquifer Summit and provide RCN workshop support, in addition to assisting with the promotion of competitive seed grants for resilient grasslands research.
