The Biological Sciences program aims to advance biological research and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $194,257 Project Grant to the University of Idaho under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research from September 1, 2021 through March 31, 2023. The grant funds a study of the cumulative effects of ecological and social stressors on integrated ranching and wildlife systems in Idaho, including drought, wolves, and human decision-making. Under the award, the University of Idaho will conduct rancher surveys and integrate social and...
- This $255,993 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund Wildlife Imaging Systems LLC to develop automated video processing software and services for wildlife conservation. Through its Small Business Innovation Research program, NSF aims to foster innovation and support small businesses engaged in scientific and engineering R&D. Wildlife Imaging will use the grant to create a web-based software-as-a-service platform that can detect, track, and classify wildlife in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded $1,040,107 to the University of Idaho to engineer an instrument that uses advances in artificial intelligence to identify small mammal species, discriminate among individuals, and measure body weight and morphological traits in real-time. This project aims to enable automated monitoring of wild animals, which will reduce research costs, enhance research efficiency and scope, and facilitate the study of threatened or endangered species by removing the need to capture and handle them. The instrument developed through this 3-year project will be tested through partnerships with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and donated to a non-profit organization, facilitating broader adoption and advancing research capabilities in the biological sciences.
