UW-Madison scientists are studying multiple factors in Wisconsin’s northern lakes to better understand the Safe Operating Space (SOS), or the range of conditions that allow for a self-sustaining population, for walleye. Their findings could ensure the survival of a key fish species by informing a new vision for managing fisheries. Find out more.
NSF
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. NSF funds merit-based research across disciplines and supports science, math, and engineering education across the country.
At UW–Madison, NSF research occurs across campus, from engineering to zoology.
