- This $531,217 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a five-year collaborative research effort led by Washington State University to investigate the effects of beaver-based restoration on stream and riparian ecosystems across different precipitation regimes. The project aims to evaluate the impacts of beaver reintroduction and construction of beaver dam analogs on fish, amphibians, birds, bats, and mammals in both wet and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a $466,599 research project at Washington State University to study the hydrological and ecosystem impacts of beaver dam analogs, a common river restoration approach. The 3-year project, running from October 2024 to September 2027, aims to develop the scientific foundation for measuring and modeling the effects of these structures on water flows, with the goal of improving restoration...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $499,853 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to establish a North American Beaver Knowledge and Management Network. The network aims to synthesize research on the relationship between beaver management practices, beavers, and beaver-related ecosystem services, while identifying legal and regional variability in beaver management. The project will facilitate...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences grant award, with CFDA Number 47.050, provides funding of $180,000.00 for a 2-year project from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The project, led by Dr. D. Nev? Baker, aims to investigate the historical role of beavers in shaping the landscape and providing environmental resilience in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The study will employ sedimentary analyses and DNA sequencing of ancient sediments (sedaDNA) to...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $190,296 project grant to Susquehanna University to evaluate the effectiveness of using beaver dam analogs (BDAs) to manage urban stormwater and improve the health of degraded urban streams. The 2-year project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Reshaping Environments: Low-Tech, Process-Based Restoration with Beaver Dam Analogues to Enhance Watershed Resilience in Human-Modified Landscapes," will investigate how...
- This $644,970 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project led by the University of Idaho. The project aims to investigate the thermal vulnerabilities of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog tadpole prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The researchers will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer modeling to...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($937,251) funds research into scaling climate connectivity and communities in streams. Led by Pennsylvania State University from March 2022 through December 2023, the grant supports a three-year field study across 10 regions in the southern, central, and western U.S. Researchers will collect streamflow and biological data to investigate differences between intermittent and perennial streams. The University...
- This $605,949 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "Reconnecting Water, Land, and Life: Enhancing Environmental Flow Models and Actions for River Corridor Ecosystem Resilience." The project, led by the University of New Mexico, aims to study how different water flow patterns, particularly those designed to mimic natural spring floods, affect the Rio Grande ecosystem in New Mexico....
- This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
