This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $268,421 to the University of Florida to make major improvements to the technical infrastructure of the USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN). The goal is to lower barriers to entry for new and continuing public participants who collect plant and animal phenology data, and to increase engagement and connections among these participants. Key activities include...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program award to the University of Arizona is intended to make major improvements to the technical infrastructure of the USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN). The $1,217,623 project spanning 2024-2028 will enhance the USA-NPN's mobile data collection app and data access tools to lower barriers to participation and increase engagement from new and continuing volunteers, especially from underrepresented locations and...
This $341,473 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to develop new methods for measuring plant traits using leaf spectroscopy on herbarium specimens. The primary objective is to enable large-scale assessments of how plant functional traits and their combinations have evolved across different biomes, such as rainforests, savannas, and deserts. The research will generate new phylogenetic data and...
This $159,490 National Science Foundation project grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the digitization and enrichment of United States herbarium data from tropical Africa. Over the three-year period from September 2022 to August 2026, Arizona State University will image and capture data from over 1.1 million herbarium specimens from 21 U.S. herbaria. Data records will be georeferenced and quality controlled to augment accessible digital data for the African...
This $862,121 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports the development of a voice-controlled virtual reality (VR) visual analytics system for plant digital twins. The University of Arizona, serving as the prime awardee, will develop novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms to reconstruct detailed 3D plant models from phenotyping data, create an intuitive VR user interface with voice controls, and deploy...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $711,741 awarded on October 1, 2022 will fund research and education activities advancing understanding of climate-phenology coupling through 2026. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will develop a macrosystems framework to quantify interactions between climate and phenology across scales. Researchers will analyze phenology data globally and from the National Ecological Observatory Network to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $639,059 Project Grant to the Chicago Botanic Garden under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. The grant will support research linking climate change-induced shifts in plant phenology, or the timing of life cycle events, to plant population dynamics. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental demography project advancing the phenology of...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding of $116,555, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Arizona (Arizona Board of Regents). The project aims to compile an open-access, cross-scale database of species invasions centered around the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) datasets. This database will be analyzed using advanced statistical methods to test theories on the relative roles of propagule...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod DNA metabarcoding across different landscapes in the Hawaiian Islands. The goal is to infer the processes shaping biodiversity and its decline, and how these can be captured remotely across varying scales and degrees of human impact. The researchers will integrate rapid assessment...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $342,396 to Michigan State University (MSU) to analyze data from two long-term observational studies on autumn tree phenology. The project integrates data from MSU's Campus Trees Project, which tracks seasonal changes in a subset of campus trees, and the USA-National Phenology Network, which collects data across broader geographic ranges. This research aims to contribute to gaps...
