- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Rutgers, The State University $695,410 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310) from January 2023 through January 2026. The project aims to develop evidence-based guidelines for managing northeastern forests to support native bee pollinators of spring fruit crops worth $862 million annually. Researchers will assess the impact of timber harvest practices on bees...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $452,959.00 to the University of California, Merced for a research project titled "Downscaling the Effects of Network Structure on Pollinator Fitness". The project aims to understand how individual bee behaviors, such as flower visitation and foraging time, impact their reproduction and the persistence of bee populations. By studying a native solitary bee species through...
- This Project Grant award for $249,947.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports the development, testing, and implementation of non-lethal methods to monitor pollinator populations in managed forests using acoustic and camera-based artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The primary goal is to create easy-to-use software that can track pollinator activity patterns, providing valuable insights to inform evidence-based forest management practices...
- This $654,761 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant awarded to the Chicago Horticultural Society's Chicago Botanic Garden division will investigate how bee populations respond to rapid environmental changes. The researchers will use in-situ temperature manipulations and cross-population comparisons to measure the direct and indirect effects of climate change, including impacts mediated through changes in food resources and nest parasites, on vital...
- This $797,762 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) to Mississippi State University seeks to develop non-lethal methods for monitoring bee pollinators in managed forests using acoustics and camera-based artificial intelligence. The primary goal is to create easy-to-use software that can help track pollinator activity patterns, providing valuable insights to support evidence-based forest management practices and pollinator conservation efforts....
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $173,538 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Rutgers, The State University to evaluate the impact of adjacent forest age on wild bee communities and apple crop yields in the northeastern U.S. The project aims to provide evidence-based guidelines for managing forests to support crop pollination and production. The research will collect data on wild...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the Biodiversity Outreach Network's IDIGBEES Network initiative. Under the Biological Sciences CFDA 47.074 program, the awardee will digitize over 350,000 bee specimen records and 6,600 images from natural history collections. This comprehensive digitization effort aims to map bee species distributions, identify data gaps, document climate impacts on bees, and establish networks to utilize findings for research, education,...
- Cornell University was awarded a $303,954 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund the collaborative research project "Bees of the World - Phylogenomics, Biogeography, and Evolution of Host-Plant Associations" from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. The project aims to advance scientific understanding of major problems in biology by increasing...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 to support research examining the genetic, physiological, and environmental drivers of plant-pollinator niche dynamics across scales of biological organization. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of...
- This $874,361 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Oregon. The research team will investigate how pollinator communities, such as bees and other insects, have changed over the past 50 years in California. By revisiting historical data on plant-pollinator interactions, the researchers aim to understand which pollinator species are most at risk due to long-term environmental changes. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $934,766 to Rutgers, The State University to conduct research on native bees in northeastern forests. The project, titled "Evidence-Based Conservation for Native Bees in Northeastern Forests: A Biodiversity Frontier," will collect field data and DNA from pollen on bees to identify the plant species they feed on. The goal is to determine if forest bees would benefit more from forest plants rather than flowering meadow plants typically planted for bees. The researchers will collaborate with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the Audubon Society to create a "Forestry for the Bees" conservation plan, targeting private landowners who own over 75% of forested land in the Northeastern U.S. The project is scheduled to run from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2030.
