- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $290,452 project grant to the University of Washington (UW) for the collaborative research project "Closing the Gap: The History of River Connections with the Formation of the Isthmus of Panama and Its Impact on the Evolution of Plants in Rivers." The project aims to study how the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, which connected North and South America, impacted the evolution and movement of...
- This federal Project Grant award for $166,798.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, will support collaborative research on the history of river connections and their impact on plant evolution in the Americas. The key objective is to study a group of plants called "riverweeds" that live in tropical and subtropical river rapids and waterfalls, leveraging both plant fossils and DNA data to understand how these plants moved and evolved...
- The Smithsonian Institution received a three-year, $458,972 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to conduct collaborative research on the effects of pathogen resistance gene sharing on tropical tree transmission and growth in Panama. Funded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to advance understanding of major biological issues by investigating how the distribution of resistance gene alleles among tropical tree populations impacts...
- This Project Grant award of $396,677, provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, supports research to investigate the early history and evolution of tropical forests in South America during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 100-145 million years ago. The research team at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago will examine well-preserved plant fossils from Colombia and Ecuador to reconstruct ancient vegetation...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $231,060 over 5 years to Lewis & Clark College to research the long-term dynamics of tropical forest regeneration across sites in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Panama. The project aims to understand how variations in environmental conditions and climate patterns, including seasonality and multi-year cycles, impact the timing and success of plant...
- This federal Project Grant award of $340,546 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project led by the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) to investigate how nitrogen availability influences the physiology, growth, and nitrogen cycling of tropical bromeliads. The project will test the connections between nitrogen limitation, photosynthetic pathways, and functional traits in these diverse epiphytic plants. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $212,201 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alabama for a collaborative research project titled "Energetic Controls on Marine Benthic Community Structure in Space and Time."

Use this knowledge to assess the fossil record...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to understand the relationship between surface productivity and ecological structure in marine benthic communities. The $281,310 award to the Smithsonian Institution, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will evaluate how productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure of marine benthic communities on both sides of the modern Isthmus of Panama. The project will...
- This Project Grant award of $499,160 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) to map the history and geography of plant trade as a driver of biological invasions. The project examines how long-standing patterns of human decision-making around plant introductions for horticulture, agriculture, and medicine have contributed to the spread of invasive species, with the goal of...
