Dear Colleagues -
We're happy to share a few items with you this week, including newly-funded projects for Venkatesh Merwade (CE) and Dan Chavas (EAPS). Please also note the free Oak Ridge Associated Universities webinar on water quality and public health, scheduled for August 11. Our director Matthew Huber's (EAPS) expertise on heat stress was featured in a recent (and timely) New York Times opinion piece that can be found below, and Purdue Ag featured the launch of Songlin Fei (FNR) and Nicole Kong's (Libraries) new Alien Forest Pest Explorer web tool.
As always, let us know if you have noteworthy pieces of news or upcoming events you'd like us to share! |

Interested applicants are encouraged to share their ideas with Carolyn Foley and Stuart Carlton.
Deadlines: August 9 - LOI; September 30 - Full Proposal
NIFA's Bioproduct Pilot Program Seeks to Study the Benefits of Using Materials Derived from Covered Agricultural Commodities for Manufacture of Construction and Consumer Products
In collaboration with USDA Rural Development's BioPreferred Program, the NIFA will be seeking research proposals that explore the benefits of bioproducts in relation to their:
- Cost savings relative to other commonly used alternative materials.
- Greenhouse gas emission reductions and other environmental benefits relative to their commonly used alternative materials.
- Lifecycle and longevity-extending/-reducing characteristics relative to other commonly used alternative materials.
- Landfill quantity and waste management cost reductions.
- Product development and production scale-up.
Deadline: August 31
NSF Partnership to Advance Conservation and Practice (PACSP)
PACSP's program supports conservation research that investigates organismal biology, ecology, and/or evolution and is designed to contribute to the development and implementation of evidence-based activities and/ or technology solutions to advance biodiversity conservation. Proposals should involve ongoing assessment of biodiversity outcomes, for instance via an adaptive management framework, that inform both scientific understanding and conservation actions.
Deadline: October 11
