- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, worth $505,181.00 and effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to provide a better understanding of how grasses, a major plant type covering 40% of the Earth's terrestrial biosphere, respond to drought at cellular, physiological, and ecosystem scales. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Elucidating the physiological responses of grasses to changes...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $283,182 to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct collaborative research on how grasses respond to soil and atmospheric drought. The primary objectives are to elucidate grass physiological responses to drought from the cellular to ecosystem scales, enhance understanding of wild grasses' drought resilience, and identify relevant physiological responses for improving...
- 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 $841,120 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Colorado State University to investigate the physiology, phenology, and phylogeny of grass species. The research aims to develop improved mechanistic models for predicting how grass distributions may respond to changing environmental conditions, such as rising temperatures and precipitation patterns. Specifically, the project will use...
- 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...

- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) totals $100,000 and runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to measure the movement and amount of water and carbon in a Kansas grassland where the climate is getting wetter and the land cover is changing due to shrub encroachment. The interdisciplinary research will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil...
- This $348,691 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research by the University of Houston System to uncover the mechanisms underlying how drought impacts plant-microbe interactions and influences plant community structure. The study will use metatranscriptomics, a new molecular tool, to analyze changes in active microbial communities and functions in the soil during drought conditions. This work aims to provide...
