This $372,195 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity using a high-resolution fossil record and novel AI workflows. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award, which began on November 1, 2024, include: Generating 3D datasets from micro-CT scans of mammalian fossils to characterize functional...
This $130,022 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will develop the first immersive, online virtual field trip (VFT) that capitalizes on the imagery and experience of paleontologic fieldwork. The primary goals are to: (1) increase exposure to geosciences in high schools and early-college classrooms by incorporating lessons utilizing geoscience examples and problems; (2) enhance educational content for traditional courses such as...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $168,890 to Ohio University from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The funding will support curating, digitizing, and disseminating results from an extensive collection of late Cretaceous vertebrate fossils from Madagascar housed at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Key deliverables include preparing, cataloging, and digitizing the 25,000-specimen collection to modern...
This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $442,704 project grant to Duke University from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support Duke University's efforts to rescue and share a unique and irreplaceable fossil collection housed at its Lemur Center. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goals of advancing biological research and strengthening the national scientific enterprise, this project aims to preserve an important...
The University of Washington received a three-year, two hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred seventeen dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) beginning August 1, 2023. Through this award, the University will build a collaborative research program in eastern Montana spanning the first seven million years after the K-Pg mass extinction. A team of geologists and paleontologists will...
This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
This $152,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to advance understanding of human origins and evolution. The awardee, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), will conduct intensive paleontological recovery, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and geological analyses of 6-million-year-old fossil sites in Africa. This multidisciplinary effort will provide...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to examine how terrestrial ecosystems were rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The $234,197 award, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028, will fund paleontological and geochemical analyses of fossil collections and new field...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $272,736 Project Grant (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to conduct research on conservation paleobiology and ecometrics. The project will examine how mammal communities in South Dakota's Wind Cave National Park have responded to environmental changes over the past ~200,000 years, and use these insights to predict future adaptations. Key activities include: 1) Assessing changes in community diversity and...
