- This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $190,197 collaborative research project grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The project, titled "Cracking the Code of Grass Distributions: Using Physiology, Phenology, and Phylogeny to Build Better Mechanistic Distribution Models," aims to provide critical information about plant traits and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $301,618 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Kansas State University (KSU) to conduct collaborative research on elucidating grass-specific responses to soil and atmospheric drought. The research aims to provide a better understanding of grass physiological responses to drought from the cellular to ecosystem scales, given the global importance of grasses and the significant gaps in understanding their...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
- This $422,183 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by Southern Oregon University to investigate how temperature and nutrition jointly affect the migratory grasshopper, a major rangeland pest in the United States. The project will combine fieldwork, lab experiments, and computer simulations to improve ecological forecasting and inform pest management strategies to support national food security. The research will...
- This $916,173 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) aims to develop a user-friendly conservation tool to help land managers prioritize actions to restore declining grassland bird populations across North America. The project will collect data on migratory patterns, genetic health, and reproductive output of three grassland bird species to build a genomically-informed, full annual cycle, integrated...
- 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 $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
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 novel techniques to observe processes within grass leaves and new mapping methods to provide critical information on plant traits and tradeoffs across different environments. This data is intended to help predict how grass communities may shift in response to climate change, which could impact the important ecosystem services they provide, such as creating habitat for pollinators, improving water quality, trapping carbon, and providing food for animals. The project will be conducted at Colorado State University from January 2026 through December 2029.
