Project Grant 2443276
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $444,570 to The University of South Dakota (USD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms that explain continental-scale patterns in the size spectra of organisms in freshwater stream ecosystems. The research aims to understand how energy flow, a crucial ecological process, shapes the distribution and abundance of different species across aquatic habitats. By leveraging...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides a fellowship to an associate professor and training for a graduate student at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The research is conducted in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The project will investigate how interactions between marine microbes, specifically between single-cell predators and their phytoplankton prey, affect the production of...
- This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds statistical modeling and simulation research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grantee will develop a unified theoretical, empirical and computational framework to predict how ecological and evolutionary dynamics propagate in response to perturbations across scales over time. Using agent-based simulations of random and experimentally perturbed eco-evolutionary systems, the grantee will characterize...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
- This Project Grant award of $549,501.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project to examine the mechanisms driving energy flow in freshwater stream ecosystems across the United States. The project, led by the University of North Texas (UNT), will leverage the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) infrastructure to study how environmental and ecological factors influence the patterns of body...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2025. The $270,000 award supports a research project that explores the complex ecological relationships between plants, animals, and people in a Madagascar forest ecosystem. The project aims to use genetic and statistical tools to study species interactions and their role in maintaining ecosystem stability. This...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $581,720 awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to improve understanding of post-thaw permafrost microbiomes. The awardee, University of New Hampshire, will conduct a series of integrated research, education, and broader impacts activities from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2027. Specifically, the university will synthesize DNA sequence data on post-thaw microbiomes, use ecological modeling to assess...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $297,571 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Michigan State University. The award, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, will fund collaborative research to investigate how the structural and functional diversity of forest canopies influences ecological climate and its impacts on plant and animal habitats. The project will leverage data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $574,372 provides funding from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 to develop and test a new acoustic monitoring method for remotely estimating animal population sizes under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The University of New Hampshire will use sound to track population changes over time for Adélie penguins and gray bats. The goals are to reduce hands-on effort for counting animals, increase the frequency...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $507,706 to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to conduct research aimed at better understanding how the design of long-term ecological monitoring programs influences the knowledge generated. The project will develop simulation approaches and leverage existing datasets, including from the National Ecological Observatory Network, to improve the design of ecological monitoring programs. Additionally, the project will provide training opportunities for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows to develop data science skills for working with big data in ecological contexts. The award has a project period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2030.
