RCN: THE MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY FOR ALL (MEFA) RESEARCH COORDINATION NETWORK -ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES FACING THE WORLD TODAY CAN BE GLOBAL IN SCALE, LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE, OR REGIONAL IN SCALE, LIKE DROUGHT. LARGE-SCALE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS INTERACT WITH LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS: CLIMATE CHANGE MAY LEAD TO A DROUGHT THAT DRIES LOCAL VEGETATION, INCREASING THE RISK OF WILDFIRE. HUMAN LAND USE PATTERNS MAY ENABLE FIRE IN ONE SITE TO SPREAD QUICKLY TO OTHER SITES, LEADING TO REGIONAL FIRE HAZARDS. THIS EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES HOW UNDERSTANDING CONNECTIONS AMONG ECOLOGICAL PHENOMENA ACROSS SCALES ALLOWS SCIENTISTS TO MAKE PREDICTIONS ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL DISTURBANCES. MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY IS AN EMERGING SCIENTIFIC FIELD THAT EXPLORES LINKS AMONG GEOPHYSICAL, BIOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL-CULTURAL PROCESSES AT DIFFERENT SCALES. THIS WORK IS INFORMED BY ANALYSIS OF INCREASINGLY LARGE ENVIRONMENTAL DATASETS, LIKE THOSE MADE AVAILABLE BY THE NATIONAL ECOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY NETWORK (NEON). HOWEVER, NOT ALL ECOLOGY FACULTY, PARTICULARLY THOSE FROM TEACHING-ORIENTED INSTITUTIONS, HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES, OR IN WORKING WITH LARGE SETS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DATA. INDEED, THERE IS A LARGE POOL OF ECOLOGY FACULTY WHO COULD ENGAGE WITH MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY BUT ARE NOT DOING SO. THE MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY FOR ALL (MEFA) RESEARCH COORDINATION NETWORK (RCN) WILL PROVIDE A GATEWAY FOR SUCH FACULTY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MACROSYSTEMS CONCEPTS, UPDATE THEIR DATA SCIENCE SKILLS, DESIGN INCLUSIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT RESONATE WITH THEIR SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS, AND FOSTER HANDS-ON RESEARCH WITH UNDERGRADUATES. COLLABORATION ACROSS INSTITUTIONS WILL BE EMPHASIZED TO BUILD CAMARADERIE FOR TEAM SCIENCE, SHARE EXPERTISE, AND ADDRESS LARGE-SCALE ECOLOGICAL QUESTIONS WITH EFFICIENCY. HAVING MORE RESEARCHERS FROM DIVERSE PERSONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BACKGROUNDS ENGAGING WITH MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY WILL BRING FRESH PERSPECTIVES AND INNOVATION TO THIS IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC FIELD. THROUGH THE FACULTY TRAINING PROVIDED BY MEFA, MORE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WILL BE EXPOSED TO EMERGING DATA SCIENCE AND MACROSYSTEMS CONCEPTS. BY PROVIDING FACULTY DEVELOPMENT IN A SUPPORTIVE FRAMEWORK, MEFA WILL ENHANCE THE SKILLS OF ITS FACULTY PARTICIPANTS AND ENABLE THEM TO BUILD A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC WORKFORCE PREPARED TO ENGAGE WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY. THE MEFA RCN WILL SPONSOR FIVE IN-PERSON MEETINGS AND A SERIES OF ONLINE WORKSHOPS THAT PROVIDE TRAINING IN DATA SCIENCE TECHNIQUES, HIGHLIGHT EXAMPLES OF MACROSYSTEMS RESEARCH, AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLLABORATIVE TEAMS AND MULTI-SITE PROJECTS THAT ENGAGE UNDERGRADUATES IN MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY RESEARCH. MEFA WILL PARTNER WITH OTHER NETWORKS INCLUDING NEON, THE BEDE (BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA EDUCATION) NETWORK, AND PROJECT EDDIE (ENVIRONMENTAL DATA-DRIVEN INQUIRY AND EXPLORATION) IN DEVELOPING THESE TRAINING ACTIVITIES. MEFA WILL HAVE A STRONG EMPHASIS ON PROMOTING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND JUSTICE (DEIJ), PROVIDING TRAINING ON DIVERSITY ISSUES IN A COLLABORATIVE SCIENCE CONTEXT, AND REQUIRING THAT ALL RESEARCH PROJECTS HAVE A DEIJ PLAN. MEFA WILL RECRUIT FACULTY FROM MINORITY-SERVING INSTITUTIONS AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR FACULTY FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS SERVING IN PROJECT LEADERSHIP ROLES WITHIN THE NETWORK. MEFA WILL BE GOVERNED BY A NETWORK MANAGEMENT TEAM WHO WILL FACILITATE THE DAILY WORKINGS OF MEFA AND A NETWORK ADVISORY TEAM WHO WILL PROVIDE MACROSYSTEMS ECOLOGY EXPERTISE, DEIJ ADVICE, AND GUIDANCE ON VISION AND ORGANIZATIONAL PRIORITIES. ASSESSMENT OF MEFA?S PROGRESS TOWARD ITS GOALS WILL BE PROVIDED BY MEASUREMENT RESOURCES COMPANY (MRC), A NATIONAL MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION FIRM. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

RCN-UBE: ESTABLISHING AN ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH/EDUCATION NETWORK AT PRIMARILY UNDERGRADUATE INSTITUTIONS

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY PROJECT

BRC-BIO: SUCCESS IN THE ANTHROPOCENE: EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY OF THE COMMON WALL LIZARD IN OHIO -LARGE CHANGES TO OUR PLANET?S CLIMATE AND ECOSYSTEMS HAVE PRESENTED CHALLENGES TO MANY ORGANISMS, YET SOME SPECIES ARE APPARENTLY THRIVING IN THESE NEW ENVIRONMENTS. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE COMMON WALL LIZARD, A SMALL, ACTIVE LIZARD SPECIES NATIVE TO MAINLAND EUROPE BUT RECENTLY ESTABLISHED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA, AND THE US. THE RESEARCH PROJECT DESCRIBED HERE SEEKS TO IDENTIFY THE REASONS THAT THIS SPECIES HAS FLOURISHED IN NOVEL URBAN ENVIRONMENTS ON A NEW CONTINENT AFTER AN INTRODUCTION OF SO FEW ANIMALS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS RESEARCH WILL LEVERAGE FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND LAB EXPERIMENTS INCLUDING MEASURES OF BEHAVIOR, PHYSIOLOGY, AND BODY DIMENSIONS TO DESCRIBE RESPONSES TO NEW CLIMATES AND ALTERED PHYSICAL HABITAT STRUCTURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE RESEARCH WILL EMPLOY NEW ADVANCES TO IDENTIFY GENES RELATED TO THESE SPECIFIC TRAITS AND HOW THESE TRAITS HAVE HELPED LIZARDS EXPAND ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE SINCE THEIR INTRODUCTION. THIS INFORMATION CAN THEN BE LEVERAGED IN MANAGEMENT EFFORTS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF POTENTIALLY HARMFUL INVASIVE SPECIES OR TO UNDERSTAND HOW ORGANISMS WE WANT TO PROTECT MAY RESPOND TO CHANGES IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SYSTEMS ESTABLISHED HERE WILL FORM THE FOUNDATION OF A LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH PROGRAM FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS THAT WILL BE A MODEL FOR OTHER INSTITUTIONS, WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON INCREASED PARTICIPATION AND SUCCESS IN STEM FIELDS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES. THIS RESEARCH PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE AN INTEGRATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ECOLOGICAL CONTEXT AND EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES THAT SHAPE THE SUCCESSFUL ESTABLISHMENT OF A VERTEBRATE ECTOTHERM, THE COMMON WALL LIZARD (PODARCIS MURALIS), IN A NOVEL ENVIRONMENT. THE RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO HOW COMPLEX ORGANISMAL PHENOTYPES ARE SHAPED BY EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES AND HOW THEY RESPOND TO NEW ECOLOGICAL SITUATIONS BY (1) QUANTIFYING THERMOREGULATORY BEHAVIORS AND THERMALLY-DEPENDENT TRAITS TO ASSESS THE RELATIVE INFLUENCE OF PLASTICITY AND ADAPTATION IN THE ABILITY OF P. MURALIS TO THRIVE IN URBAN LANDSCAPES; (2) IDENTIFYING MORPHOLOGY-PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIPS IN ECOLOGICALLY-RELEVANT CONTEXTS TO TEST FOR MORPHOLOGICAL SHIFTS IN TIME AND SPACE AND THEN ASSESS WHETHER THESE SHIFTS CONTRIBUTE TO INVASION SUCCESS AND CAN PREDICT FUTURE EXPANSION; AND (3) UTILIZING WHOLE-GENOME RESEQUENCING TO TEST HYPOTHESES REGARDING THE IMPACT OF THE FOUNDING EVENT ON FUNCTIONAL AND NEUTRAL LEVELS OF VARIATION AT THE GENOMIC LEVEL AND HOW THIS HAS IMPACTED KEY EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES. THIS WORK LEVERAGES RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND WILL VALIDATE NEW APPROACHES TO PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR FUTURE STUDIES, INCLUDING THE USE OF INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY, MICROSENSOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTERS, NOVEL APPLICATION OF MOVEMENT MODELLING, AND GENOMIC SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGIES AND ANALYSIS PIPELINES. THIS HOLISTIC APPROACH ADVANCES OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ORGANISMS INTERACT WITH NOVEL ENVIRONMENTS AND PROVIDES A CONCEPTUAL BASIS FOR CHARACTERIZING THE PHENOTYPIC AND GENOMIC QUALITIES THAT FACILITATE SUCCESS IN NEW OR CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT THESE GENES WILL REVEAL NOVEL CONTRIBUTORS TO GRAVITY PERCEPTION SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION AND RESPONSE REGULATION.

MRI: ACQUISITION OF A SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE ENERGY DISPERSIVE SPECTROMETER AND CRYOTRANSFER SYSTEM FOR AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEA

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EPIIC: EMPOWERED -- BUILDING THE FUTURE WORKFORCE TOGETHER -THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT ACROSS THE FOLLOWING INSTITUTIONS: HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT FARMINGTON, ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY & HEALTH SCIENCES, MONTGOMERY COLLEGE, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CUMMINGS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. ACCORDING TO THE US BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, OVER THE NEXT DECADE, STEM OCCUPATIONS ARE FORECAST TO GROW FASTER THAN THE TOTAL FOR ALL OCCUPATIONS, LEAVE A TALENT SHORTAGE FOR INDUSTRIES TO FILL NEARLY 3.5 MILLION STEM JOBS BY 2029. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A GROWING DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT STEM STUDENTS LEARN IN COLLEGE AND WHAT EMPLOYERS EXPECT NEW GRADUATES TO BE ABLE TO DO. SOME EMPLOYERS FIND RECENT GRADUATES LACK SOFT SKILLS LIKE PROBLEM SOLVING, CRITICAL THINKING, AND WRITTEN AND ORAL COMMUNICATION; OTHERS FIND STUDENTS TO BE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE PRACTICAL AND TECHNICAL SKILLS NEEDED FOR THEIR DAY-TO-DAY WORK. THIS COLLABORATIVE EPIIC PROJECT DEFINES A PROCESS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AT THE ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT. COHORT INSTITUTIONS WILL WORK TOGETHER GROW INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS, IMPROVE ALIGNMENT OF PROGRAM CURRICULA WITH INDUSTRY NEEDS, AND ENHANCE FACULTY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES. THROUGH THIS EPIIC PROJECT, THE COLLABORATING INSTITUTIONS WILL BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO FIND OUT WHAT SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE ARE NEEDED FOR STEM JOBS IN THEIR FIELDS. THE COHORT WILL USE THIS INFORMATION TO MODIFY AND ENHANCE COLLEGE COURSES AND CURRICULAR STRUCTURE WITH INDUSTRY NEEDS IN MIND SO STUDENTS ARE PREPARED FOR JOBS RIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE. AT THE SAME TIME, SKILLS TRAINING FOR FACULTY MUST BE PROVIDED SO INSTRUCTORS ARE PREPARED TO TEACH THE ENHANCED COURSE CONTENT AND MULTIPLE DEGREE PATHWAYS MUST BE CREATED SO STUDENTS WITH DIVERSE PREPARATION AND LIFE SITUATIONS WILL GRADUATE. PROJECT PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO COMMUNICATE TO STUDENTS CLEARLY AND EFFECTIVELY ABOUT HOW AND WHY THEIR EDUCATION WILL PREPARE THEM FOR THE STEM CAREERS THEY WANT, THUS BUILDING THE WORKFORCE THIS COUNTRY NEEDS. EACH ACADEMIC INSTITUTION IN THE DIVERSE COHORT, WHICH INCLUDES TWO SMALL LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES, TWO 2-YEAR TECHNICAL COLLEGES, A PRIMARILY UNDERGRADUATE STATE UNIVERSITY, AND A 4-YEAR COLLEGE OFFERING SPECIALIZED UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE DEGREES, HAS DEVELOPED AN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROCESS. THE PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS WILL EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND WORK TOGETHER AS A COHORT TO ENHANCE EACH INSTITUTION'S CAPACITY FOR BUILDING EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS. THIS PROCESS WILL POSITION THE INSTITUTIONS TO FURTHER DEEPEN ENGAGEMENT WITH INDUSTRY AND ENHANCE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR REGIONAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
