This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $200,000 to Black In Marine Science (BIMS), a woman-owned and Black American-owned nonprofit organization, will fund two key initiatives to enhance diversity, representation, and equity in marine sciences. The first initiative is the "BIMS Ocean to Essence" exhibit, which will showcase marine science through interactive displays and activities at the ESSENCE Festival, aiming to inspire...
This $748,856 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research study on using environmental DNA (eDNA) to measure biodiversity in U.S. streams, particularly those in the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The study, led by The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), aims to understand the environmental factors that influence the movement and degradation of eDNA in streams. Key...
This $418,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study the environmental factors that promote or inhibit the transport and degradation of environmental DNA (eDNA) in U.S. streams, especially those part of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The research team based at the University of Alabama will conduct eDNA spiraling experiments at NEON stream sites to determine how factors...
This $782,754 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to study the environmental factors influencing the fate and transport of environmental DNA (eDNA) in U.S. streams, particularly those within the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The project, titled "DISTANCE: Determining Instream Transport of eDNA Across NEON Sites at the Continental Scale," will leverage NEON...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...
The federal Project Grant award of $148,905.66 from the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service, under the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network program (CFDA 15.930), will support the Chesapeake Conservancy, Inc. in providing hands-on conservation land management experience for tribal citizens, introducing tribal youth to outdoor experiences and land conservation, and facilitating an exchange of information on ecological principles, techniques, and values incorporating indigenous...
This Project Grant award of $130,222 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project titled "The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The project aims to compare historical and modern fish species, focusing on the blue sprat, to understand how they have adapted to challenges such as fishing and habitat loss over the past century. Key activities include assembling...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Park Service under the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network program (CFDA 15.930) provides $149,520.56 to the James River Association, a non-profit organization, to connect students and communities in Hampton, Virginia to the natural and cultural heritage of the James River and Chesapeake Bay. The funding will support hands-on environmental education, interpretation of local Native American and African American history and culture, and conservation...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, is supporting a $987,639 community science initiative led by the Pontchartrain Conservancy. The project aims to co-design, implement, and study a model for community-based flood monitoring in under-resourced coastal communities in southeast Louisiana that are disproportionately impacted by climate change. Key activities include conducting charrettes and training to...
This $2,963,428 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop critical infrastructure and tools for interpreting genomic data. The project will create high-quality genome assembly workflows, comprehensive documentation, and interactive training materials to make these advanced genomic analysis capabilities accessible to a wide audience of biology researchers. This will enable downstream discoveries in areas such as...
