Project Grant 2500041
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,539,374 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to advance the understanding of long-term feedbacks between plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in a changing environment. The 5.5-year project will collect long-term data from retired agricultural lands, prairies, savannas, and forests to develop mathematical models predicting how ecosystems respond to environmental...
- 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...
- This $605,949 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "Reconnecting Water, Land, and Life: Enhancing Environmental Flow Models and Actions for River Corridor Ecosystem Resilience." The project, led by the University of New Mexico, aims to study how different water flow patterns, particularly those designed to mimic natural spring floods, affect the Rio Grande ecosystem in New Mexico....
- This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $2,275,000 Project Grant to New Mexico State University to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the Southwestern U.S. The research aims to advance understanding of this ecological change, including how weather, land management, and biotic interactions influence the transition, and how it impacts carbon and nutrient cycling, soil erosion, and human wellbeing. The project will also...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $115,528 Project Grant to the University of Central Oklahoma to develop a 5-year strategic plan for the Selman Living Laboratory (SLL) field station. The strategic plan will modernize the station's infrastructure and enhance opportunities for scientific research, education, and public outreach. The goal is to transform SLL into a center for environmental education that promotes ecological understanding...
- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $233,888.00 to the Science Museum of Minnesota to conduct a long-term research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: LTREB: DYNAMICS OF EXTREME CLIMATE DISTURBANCE IN ARCTIC LAKES (DECADAL)." The project investigates how Arctic lake ecosystems rapidly transitioned to a dramatically different state following extreme weather events in West Greenland, with the goal of...
- This $388,863 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project titled "PURSUIT: Aquatic Nematodes of the Nebraska Sandhills: Accelerating Taxonomic Discovery through Experiential Learning." The research aims to describe new species from three targeted nematode families, determine their spatial distributions across the Nebraska Sandhills region, and establish their taxonomic and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $407,527 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Molloy University. The grant, titled "GP-UP: PROJECT RESTORES (RETENTION OF EARTH SCIENCE TRAINEES THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES IN RESTORATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES)", aims to increase the number of students in geosciences, retain historically underrepresented students in STEM fields, build faculty and institutional capacity, and produce highly qualified geoscience...
This $1,167,245 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the enhancement and expansion of research and educational capabilities at the University of Nebraska at Omaha's (UNO) Glacier Creek Preserve field station. The project aims to improve the preserve's capacity for field-based research and STEM education focused on understanding natural habitats, their biodiversity, and the environmental processes that sustain them. Specifically, the award will help maintain the preserve's natural environment, including a remnant tallgrass prairie, to facilitate interdisciplinary, watershed-scale research that expands knowledge about ecosystem interconnections. The project also seeks to increase public engagement by allowing visitors to observe ongoing research and gain a deeper appreciation for the role of science in understanding the natural environment. This award reflects the NSF's mission to promote the progress of the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through fundamental and applied research.
