The National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology awarded $901,646 to the University of Florida for a collaborative research project spanning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The project develops an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled framework for quantifying mammalian diets with unprecedented precision by combining large language models and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to extract dietary information from extensive biological literature. The research team will generate a high-dimensional multivariate dietary dataset for over 1,000 placental mammal species and integrate this data with three-dimensional morphometric measurements of mammal teeth to elucidate how dietary diversity has evolved across the placental mammal radiation. Key deliverables include a publicly accessible database of mammalian dietary and morphological data, implementation of human-in-the-loop validation workflows to ensure AI extraction accuracy, and scientific publications advancing understanding of mammalian evolutionary history through diet-morphology relationships. The project advances artificial intelligence literacy in the biological sciences and supports STEM education through partnerships with Florida K-12 teachers and undergraduate internship programs at the University of Florida's Florida Museum of Natural History and George A. Smathers Libraries. This award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports fundamental research that promotes progress in biological sciences and strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
