The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Environmental Biology, awarded $834,057 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) on August 1, 2026, for a three-year project concluding July 31, 2029. The project delivers research-based products and computational tools designed to advance understanding of forest insect resilience following megafire events. Primary deliverables include artificial intelligence (AI) models for automated species identification of forest insects and Bayesian computational models to predict species resilience to extreme fire disturbances. These biotechnology products are designed to support ecosystem restoration efforts in post-megafire forests. The research focuses on insect communities at experimental forest monitoring sites, with particular emphasis on beetle species identification and population recovery tracking using custom-built robotic systems and computer vision technology. The award also generates educational and outreach products intended to strengthen the scientific workforce and public engagement. Deliverables include student training in AI, computational biology, field and laboratory methods; nationally distributed classroom educational materials; and public-facing products comprising a video and museum exhibit on forest insect resilience and megafire impacts. The research will quantify long-term insect population responses to fire severity, landscape context, and forest edge effects, producing generalizable knowledge applicable to post-disturbance ecosystem management across diverse forest systems.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
