MEFA is a spin-off of the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN).
The Macrosystems Ecology For All Network (MEFA) facilitates the creation of collaborative projects that include five components:
- a focus on macrosystems ecology,
- the integration of environmental datasets,
- a written Collaboration Plan,
- involvement/engagement of undergraduate students, and
- community engagement as appropriate for the project (optional).
All projects start as Incubator Projects. Once the project team has developed a plan for addressing all the components above, a short proposal is submitted to the MEFA Network Management Team and the project advances to become a full MEFA Project. Work then continues to realize the scientific and educational goals of the project.
Current MEFA Projects
- Macrosystems Ecology For All Campuses
- MEFA Invasive Species Productivity
- Filtering Urban Pollinator Biodiversity and Restoration
Six additional projects are continuing to develop in the Incubator phase.

This project is supported by the National Science Foundation (DEB #2213541).
