Paul Barber and his lab were awarded a National Science Foundation Partnership in International Research and Education (NSF PIRE) grant in collaboration with San Diego State University (SDSU), the Smithsonian, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Moss Landing Marine Labs and National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). The $5 million grant is focused on understanding marine biodiversity patterns in Indonesia and how these may be impacted by anthropogenic stress. Paul Barber was also awarded a grant from the University of California-Historically Black College and Universities (UC-HBCU) initiative. This grant brings students from HBCU’s to UCLA and to Indonesia to conduct biodiversity research and learn the ins and outs of applying to graduate school.
