The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded $605,000 to UC Berkeley on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to enhance research infrastructure at the Point Reyes Field Station through June 31, 2028. The project delivers critical facility upgrades and accessibility improvements to strengthen the collaborative capacity of this UC Berkeley-operated research hub located within Point Reyes National Seashore. Deliverables include renovation of communal kitchen and dining facilities, construction of outdoor bath and shower facilities, conversion of a redwood barn into a multi-purpose classroom, meeting space, and dry laboratory, and implementation of ADA-compliant accessibility improvements throughout key facilities. These infrastructure enhancements enable the field station to simultaneously host multiple research groups, support extended site visits, and facilitate interdisciplinary research and workforce development activities in partnership with the National Park Service, Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, and local nonprofit organizations. The upgraded facilities support ecological research, student training, data collection, specimen processing, and collaborative scientific work for researchers, students, and community members engaged in research within one of the nation's most ecologically diverse regions. The project advances NSF's mission of strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise by modernizing research infrastructure and expanding the station's role as a regional center for ecological research and education.Federal Grant Award Summary
