- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $2,275,000 Project Grant to New Mexico State University to study the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the Southwestern U.S. The research aims to advance understanding of this ecological change, including how weather, land management, and biotic interactions influence the transition, and how it impacts carbon and nutrient cycling, soil erosion, and human wellbeing. The project will also...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $301,618 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Kansas State University (KSU) to conduct collaborative research on elucidating grass-specific responses to soil and atmospheric drought. The research aims to provide a better understanding of grass physiological responses to drought from the cellular to ecosystem scales, given the global importance of grasses and the significant gaps in understanding their...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, worth $505,181.00 and effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to provide a better understanding of how grasses, a major plant type covering 40% of the Earth's terrestrial biosphere, respond to drought at cellular, physiological, and ecosystem scales. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Elucidating the physiological responses of grasses to changes...
- 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) awarded a $1,018,305 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. The grant, running from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2029, will fund research to investigate the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery mechanisms. The researchers will develop the ability to remotely measure tree carbohydrate levels in order to predict drought recovery and survival. The project also...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $283,182 to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct collaborative research on how grasses respond to soil and atmospheric drought. The primary objectives are to elucidate grass physiological responses to drought from the cellular to ecosystem scales, enhance understanding of wild grasses' drought resilience, and identify relevant physiological responses for improving...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $850,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to investigate the cellular and biomechanical mechanisms underlying rapid stomatal dynamics in grasses. This research aims to enhance understanding of how the microscopic pores called stomata, which regulate photosynthesis and water transport in crops, rapidly open and close in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $190,197 collaborative research project grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The project, titled "Cracking the Code of Grass Distributions: Using Physiology, Phenology, and Phylogeny to Build Better Mechanistic Distribution Models," aims to provide critical information about plant traits and trade-offs in different environments to help predict how grass distributions will respond to changing weather patterns and environmental conditions. The project will leverage novel techniques to observe processes occurring inside plant leaves and new mapping methods to gain a better understanding of the phenology, growth rates, and drought tolerance of a broader range of grass species. This information is essential for effectively managing resilient grasslands and the ecosystem services they provide, such as habitat for pollinators, water quality improvement, and carbon sequestration.
