- This $391,583 Project Grant was awarded on January 1, 2026 by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant will support collaborative research examining whether habitat restoration techniques, specifically the creation of shallow drainage channels ("runnels"), can reverse declines in tidal marsh bird populations. The research aims to measure the ecosystem responses to these restoration methods and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $600,000 project grant to the Smithsonian Institution Office of Sponsored Projects to support research titled "LTREB: THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF TIDAL MARSH RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE." The award period is from March 15, 2021 through February 28, 2026. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grantee will analyze 34 years of tidal marsh data to strengthen understanding of how coastal wetlands...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $981,074 project grant to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on August 15, 2024. The grant, titled "DISES: Socioecological Outcomes of Restoration in Forest-Grassland Ecosystems," investigates how and why restoration programs impact social and environmental systems in forest-grassland ecosystems. The research employs multiple methods, including remote sensing, field-based ecological...
- 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 $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $633,443 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Florida to conduct research on the predictability of wading bird dynamics in the Everglades. The grant will leverage long-term monitoring data to examine how scale impacts ecological forecasting, with the goal of improving forecasts to guide Everglades restoration efforts. Specifically, the research will: Quantify how predictability, drivers, and...
- This $362,727 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Towson University. The grant supports the development of new statistical models and computational methods to study the evolution of sequence traits in living organisms. The key products and services delivered under this award include: Creating advanced phylogenetic comparative methods that can model a large number of characteristics across an...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $400,523 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate variability and extreme weather events on coastal ecosystems. The research aims to understand how mangrove forests and salt marsh plant communities respond and recover after severe freeze events, which can dramatically alter these coastal habitats. The project will document...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) program, awarded a $100,000 Cooperative Agreement to Delmarva R C & D Inc., a non-profit conservation organization, to restore degraded salt marshes in the Maryland Coastal Bays. The project aims to improve fish habitat, water quality, and coastal resiliency by reversing human impacts on at least 114 acres of salt marsh. Key restoration techniques include sediment addition to nourish degraded...
