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...
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....
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $214,605.00 and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), focuses on understanding how thermally tolerant bacterial strains can contribute to shifts in insect vector capacity for plant disease transmission. The research, conducted by Emory University, aims to 1) determine whether Caballeronia bacterial strains with varying...
The University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture received a $120,000 project grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant, awarded on August 15, 2024, will support research examining the impact of sublethal insecticide exposure on the vector competence of Culicoides biting midges for Bluetongue virus transmission. The goal is to inform producers and applicators about the risks associated...
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 $505,238 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will support research to identify skin-associated compounds that can disrupt mosquito landing and biting behavior. The overarching goal is to discover new chemical compounds that can act as improved topical insect repellents compared to DEET, especially for use in tropical regions. The research will involve validating...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $760,318 to the University of California, Davis to develop and optimize recombinant enhanced antiviral sensors (REAVRs) that broadly inhibit virus replication. The REAVRs combine virus-sensing domains with effector domains from different antiviral proteins, aiming to create broadly-acting antiviral proteins. The...
This Project Grant award for $174,544, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, supports the development of a novel, integrated geospatial framework that applies advanced machine learning techniques to map disease-transmission risk for mosquito-borne infectious diseases in Southern Africa. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: High-resolution satellite imagery processed...
This federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) provides $735,923 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to study the transmission dynamics of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. The goal is to identify components of the pathogen-insect-plant interface that could be disrupted to control diseases caused by X. fastidiosa, such as olive quick decline and citrus...
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...
