- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $199,891 to the University of Nevada, Reno from August 1, 2021 to January 31, 2024. The funding supports research to evaluate synchrony among ecosystem productivity, benthic cyanobacterial growth, and toxin production dynamics in rivers. As part of its mission to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise, the NSF Biological Sciences...
- This $909,435 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Duke University to study the critical role of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) in small stream and river ecosystems. The project aims to: Experimentally measure the impact of bryophytes on nutrient uptake, organic matter storage, and biodiversity in headwater streams within the Hubbard Brook Experimental...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Wyoming to study the evolutionary effects of fish predation on zooplankton in high mountain lake ecosystems. The $307,371 award will be used to quantify differences in the elemental composition and nutrient cycling between zooplankton populations in lakes with and without introduced trout. The project aims to improve understanding of the impacts...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $134,250 awarded on January 1, 2023 will fund research examining the roles of stochasticity and spatial context in the dynamics of functional diversity in stream ecosystems under global change. The research will be conducted through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) in collaboration between the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University System of Maryland. The project aims to advance understanding of how community size...
- Colorado State University was awarded a $199,724 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining new roles for reactive oxygen species in mediating carbon fluxes at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Specifically, the funding will enable investigation of how reactive oxygen species produced during microbial decomposition in soils and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $169,540 project grant to Colorado Mesa University (CMU) for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MECHANISMS TO EXPLAIN CONTINENTAL SCALING OF SIZE SPECTRA IN FRESHWATER STREAMS". The 3-year project from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028 will leverage the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) infrastructure to examine the environmental and ecological drivers of energy flow and their importance for critical ecological functions in aquatic ecosystems. The project aims to improve understanding of how ecosystem energy flow, represented by the range of body sizes and their relative abundance, is structured across different freshwater stream ecosystems. This research seeks to provide insights into maintaining crucial ecosystem services like drinking water, food production, and recreation that depend on these aquatic habitats.
