The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing knowledge of major issues facing the...
- 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) 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 $431,424 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of Kentucky to advance understanding of plant diversification processes in the tropical Andes mountains. The research team will develop new genomic analysis software and mathematical models to disentangle the biological and environmental drivers of diversification among four groups of flowering plants endemic to the region. They will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $469,943 collaborative research project grant to the University of Oregon to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The 4-year project, with an award date of August 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029, will study how factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research at Utah State University in Logan, Utah to study the evolution of extended floral phenotypes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic research on major problems. This award will further those goals by...
- The University of Rhode Island was awarded a $333,083 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project to disentangle biological and environmental drivers of diversification in the Andean flora over a three-year period from August 2021 through July 2024. The Biological Sciences program supports basic research to increase scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $399,831 Project Grant to the Division of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas to support the "STAR: Modeling the Phylogenetic Architecture of Biodiversity" research project. The project will develop new statistical solutions for testing, predicting, and linking biological variation to evolutionary history and ecological mechanisms driving diversity. The research aims to advance understanding of how organisms adapt, survive, and respond, which is crucial for fields like ecology, evolutionary biology, agriculture, and biomedicine. The 3-year project (August 1, 2025 - July 31, 2028) will also launch a new program to introduce STEM trainees to phylogenetics, biodiversity, and data science, providing mentoring, networking, and exposure to STEM careers.
