Project Grant 2437073
- This $874,361 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Oregon. The research team will investigate how pollinator communities, such as bees and other insects, have changed over the past 50 years in California. By revisiting historical data on plant-pollinator interactions, the researchers aim to understand which pollinator species are most at risk due to long-term environmental changes. The...

The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $454,886 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The grant funds collaborative research to study the timescale-dependent effects of transient dynamics in plant-pollinator networks. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
- This $654,761 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant awarded to the Chicago Horticultural Society's Chicago Botanic Garden division will investigate how bee populations respond to rapid environmental changes. The researchers will use in-situ temperature manipulations and cross-population comparisons to measure the direct and indirect effects of climate change, including impacts mediated through changes in food resources and nest parasites, on vital...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award provides $270,000.00 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship for research to map the social network of the common eastern bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) colony across organizational levels. The research aims to trace the flow of nutritional information throughout the bumblebee colony, leveraging the complex social behaviors of this model organism to study the role of colony size, communication, and...
- This $1,791,864 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to understand how landscape context and configuration interact with on-farm practices to shape pollinator supply, and how social, institutional, and environmental factors influence farmers' ability and interest in collective action to address pollinator declines. The research will be conducted by Cornell University, with sub-awards to the Centre for...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $934,766 to Rutgers, The State University to conduct research on native bees in northeastern forests. The project, titled "Evidence-Based Conservation for Native Bees in Northeastern Forests: A Biodiversity Frontier," will collect field data and DNA from pollen on bees to identify the plant species they feed on. The goal is to determine if forest bees would benefit...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $138,000 to fund postdoctoral research integrating genes, environment and behavior to understand nutrient foraging in honey bees. The award period is from March 2022 through February 2024, with performance taking place in State College, Pennsylvania. This award supports the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in biology and strengthen the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the role of symbiotic yeasts in structuring bumble bee nest microbial communities. The research aims to uncover how antimicrobial compounds produced by these yeasts impact the growth of detrimental microbes, bee health, and bee behavior. Key activities include testing variations in...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $452,959.00 to the University of California, Merced for a research project titled "Downscaling the Effects of Network Structure on Pollinator Fitness". The project aims to understand how individual bee behaviors, such as flower visitation and foraging time, impact their reproduction and the persistence of bee populations. By studying a native solitary bee species through greenhouse experiments, camera technology, and plant DNA analysis, the research will reveal how foraging behavior affects offspring numbers and contribute to sustaining bee populations. The findings will advance scientific understanding of pollination while informing conservation efforts and supporting both agricultural production and natural ecosystems. Additionally, the project will provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience in field and laboratory research, fostering the next generation of scientists. The award period runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
