The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $977,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate how climate change and land use shifts may impact the synchronization between mosquito vectors and bird hosts, and the implications for West Nile Virus transmission. The research will leverage a combination of modeling, causal inference, citizen science, and field data collection to understand how...

The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University $240,549 on August 1, 2026, to build the first comprehensive evolutionary and ecological framework for anopheline mosquitoes and create an open-access digital atlas of mosquito species, their environmental limits, and dispersal abilities. The project, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), runs through July 31, 2029, at Virginia Tech's Blacksburg,...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Texas Tech University System $648,891 on February 3, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate population dynamics and genetic structure of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes at the invasive front in the American Southwest. The award funds systematic sampling, genotyping, and landscape genetic analysis of Aedes aegypti populations across California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and western...

Farmsense, Inc. received a $275,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The award supports the development of an automated, digital classification and counting system for mosquitoes to enable more effective vector control. The project aims to create an end-to-end digital platform for mosquito surveillance that can support the work of vector control districts. The platform will leverage real-time insect...

This Project Grant award of $651,084, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to determine how microbes influence the response of their mosquito host to climate change, with a focus on the impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers, an endangered bird species. The research aims to: Clarify the landscape-scale population dynamics of the mosquito vector Culex quinquefasciatus and its microbiome across an elevational gradient in Hawaii....

Vectech, Inc. received a $255,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on June 15, 2021 to fund research and development of advanced computer vision methods for mosquito surveillance through February 28, 2022. The award was made under the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering innovation and excellence in research and education. Specifically, the grant supports Vectech's...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Ohio State University $525,789 on April 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to identify bacterial isolates and communities that influence male life history traits and mating success in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The funded research experimentally colonizes mosquitoes with multiple candidate bacterial communities and determines the impact of different communities on male longevity,...

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project on the transmission, control, and risk assessment of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in South Florida. The $323,038 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will integrate mosquito data from Miami-Dade County and CHIKV outbreak data from Brazil into a hybrid machine learning and mathematical modeling...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the role of human behavior in the dynamics of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and Zika. The $100,000 grant, awarded to North Carolina State University (NC State), will support a multidisciplinary research project to understand how individual decision-making around mosquito prevention behaviors impacts disease transmission. The...

The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the University of Florida $391,576 on August 1, 2026, to build a comprehensive evolutionary and ecological framework for anopheline mosquitoes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project integrates phylogenetic, genomic, morphological, and ecological approaches to map the evolutionary relationships, dispersal abilities, and environmental limits of anopheline species, most of which remain untested for...
