The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $963,864 on February 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate maladaptation in California oak species and link physiological traits, tree performance, and genomics to environmental responses. The research examines two widespread oak species—Quercus lobata (Valley Oak) and Q. agrifolia (Coast Live Oak)—that exhibit different physiological...

The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $367,034 on February 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate environmental maladaptation in two contrasting California oak species—valley oak and coast live oak—by linking physiological traits, tree performance, and genomic variation. The research examines how physiological characteristics determine tree growth, survival, and reproduction, whether...

The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the University of Delaware $667,552 on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research assessing tree seedling adaptation, physiological drivers, and trophic interactions across a latitudinal gradient. The project, running through July 31, 2029, plants over 6,000 seedlings of white oak and chestnut oak across a 430-kilometer transect in the Northeastern U.S. Acorns...

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded $14.751 million to the Ohio Department of Children and Youth on December 31, 2025, under the Preschool Development Grants Birth through Five program (CFDA 93.434) to develop a unified statewide early care and education system and establish infrastructure for research and data integration across Ohio's birth-through-age-five population.
