- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $268,516 to Kansas State University, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund a collaborative research project to study the impacts of changes in land cover and climate on grassland water and carbon cycles. The project aims to: 1) Quantify how woody encroachment alters soil properties and water fluxes; 2) Measure the impact of woody encroachment on groundwater residence times and water sources...
- This federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $800,000 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. over a 3-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award aims to improve understanding of what constrains the geographic distributions of species, both currently and under future climate change scenarios. The project will integrate demographic methods into species distribution models (SDMs) to...
- This $139,114 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of computational models to predict changes in biodiversity patterns over time at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. Over the one-year period from May 2023 to April 2024, the awardee will synthesize decades of species distribution data and research to generate dynamic models incorporating factors like physiology and species interactions. A...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,986,439 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The grant, titled "RAMP: MAKING MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS: FOSTERING THE INTEGRATION OF BIODIVERSITY PATTERNS WITH GENETIC EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS (BIOGEM)", will support a multi-year research and training program focused on understanding organismal responses...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $301,618 to Kansas State University to conduct collaborative research on how grasses respond to soil and atmospheric drought. The research aims to enhance understanding of grass physiology and ecology under drought conditions, which is critical given that grasses cover approximately 40% of the Earth's terrestrial biosphere. The project will also provide hands-on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
- This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $300,663 project grant to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to conduct collaborative research examining the impact of the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (KTM) on terrestrial biodiversity. The 5-year project, beginning July 1, 2025, will generate freely accessible databases of environmental and ecological data from the KTM period to help predict the effects of modern climate change on terrestrial...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $713,464 project grant to the University of Oregon from May 2021 through January 2025 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support research examining how climate and competition interact to determine plant and animal species' phenology and coexistence. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing knowledge of major issues facing the...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program awarded Kansas State University (KSU) a $830,392 CAREER project grant to quantify environmental impacts mediated through multiple species interactions. The 5-year project, beginning October 1, 2025, will investigate direct and indirect effects of climate on over 120 plant species, focusing on competition and two herbivore guilds. Additionally, the grant will fund undergraduate research experiences, graduate student training in modeling, and increase scientific literacy for 200 Kansas residents annually. The research aims to develop a unifying framework for understanding direct and indirect environmental effects, which is critical for accurate ecological predictions in the face of climate variability.
