- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,631 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct research on the behavior and ecological impacts of invasive plant species across the Americas. The 4-year project will investigate how "superinvader" woody plant species can dominate diverse forest environments through experimental studies comparing the growth, survival, and pest interactions of native and...
- The New York Botanical Garden received a $629,237 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on September 15, 2021 to complete work by August 31, 2025. Under the grant, the Botanical Garden will mobilize underrepresented Asian herbarium collections in the United States to advance biodiversity discovery. Specifically, the Garden will digitize herbarium specimens to make them more accessible online for research purposes. This work will help propel biodiversity studies by allowing...
- This $433,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund collaborative research by Clemson University to study invasive plant species across the Americas. The research teams will monitor the growth and survival of native and invasive tree saplings across light gradients in 10 locations, including temperate and tropical forests, to test the hypothesis that lower pest loads allow invasive species to circumvent the typical tradeoffs...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to investigate the role of above-and-belowground plant traits in driving invasions of non-native species and their impacts on native ecosystems. The $1,025,547 grant, awarded to William Marsh Rice University, will fund a 5-year research project (3/1/2025 - 2/28/2030) to: (1) identify plant traits that promote invasiveness under varying disturbance and...

- The National Science Foundation awarded a $265,043 Project Grant to the New York Botanical Garden under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to digitize and enrich United States herbarium data from tropical Africa. Through this funding, the awardee will image and capture data from over 1.1 million herbarium specimens held in 21 U.S. herbaria focused on tropical African seed plants. The data will be georeferenced, quality controlled, and aggregated into a dedicated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $200,000 to the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028 to conduct collaborative research on the history of river connections with the formation of the Isthmus of Panama and its impact on the evolution of plants in rivers. The research aims to leverage information from plant fossils and DNA of living plants to study how these river-dwelling...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
- This $100,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences CFDA program, will support research to improve the representation of plants in ecosystem models.
