The National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology awarded $719,114 to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a CAREER award effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031. This project delivers fundamental research and educational outputs advancing understanding of carbon cycling and storage mechanisms within sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum), a critical species for the Northeastern North America's economically significant maple syrup industry. The research addresses key knowledge gaps regarding how trees allocate and utilize stored carbon during leafless periods, with direct applications to sustainable forest management and carbon cycle science. The project integrates research with comprehensive educational and workforce development services targeting diverse audiences from kindergarten through professional practitioners. Deliverables include scientific research outputs from physiological measurements quantifying seasonal carbon pool dynamics and fluxes; educational programming through a mobile sugarhouse, new university course offerings, and undergraduate research opportunities; and professional continuing education programs for maple producers. These integrated activities support the NSF's biotechnology priorities while advancing rural economic development in forest-based industries through hands-on field experiences and direct engagement with K-12 students, university researchers, and regional maple syrup production professionals.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
