The grant will fund three priority projects over the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024: Establishing a framework for the Iowa Geological Survey (IGS) and University of Iowa Paleontology Repository (UIPR) to collaborate and integrate their geoscientific data collections, specifically...

The University of Iowa was awarded a $398,756 Project Grant under the Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant supports a research project titled "Tree Growth Legacies of Combined Soil and Atmospheric Drought Across Climatic, Plant Trait, and Morphological Gradients in the United States". The research aims to investigate the long-term impacts of climate extremes on vegetation productivity, leveraging tree-ring data and climate observations. As part of the project, the University of Iowa has issued a $69,134 sub-award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to process datasets, perform statistical analyses, and co-author peer-reviewed publications on the research findings. The sub-award supports 0.5 months per year of summer salary for the UCLA principal investigator and 3 months per year of 50% support for a graduate student researcher.
