Funding will support the grantee's investigation into how diet and the gut microbiome influence an organism's...
- This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports postdoctoral research exploring host-parasite co-evolution under diverse selection pressures. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables the grantee to conduct research at Virginia Tech from September 2021 through August 2023 examining how biological interactions influence evolutionary processes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research and training that will contribute to innovative advances in biology. The 3-year fellowship, starting July 1, 2025, will fund experiments investigating how parasites can impact the traits of their Daphnia dentifera hosts and how these effects may scale up to influence ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling and...
- This $483,851 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Scranton to study factors influencing the prevalence of parasitic infections in birds. The project will collect and analyze parasite specimens from birds and insect vectors in northeastern Pennsylvania to test hypotheses about host traits and ecological interactions that drive parasitism. The research aims to advance understanding of disease...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. The fellowship will fund the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to detect parasite biodiversity and incorporate parasites into ecological networks. This non-invasive...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology project grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $399,360 in funding to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for theoretical and empirical research examining how migratory animals time their movement patterns to manage parasitic infections. The award, effective from August 15, 2025, through July 31, 2029, delivers novel mathematical models and theoretical frameworks that integrate...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the eco-evolutionary impacts of cyanobacterial diets on host-parasite interactions in freshwater ecosystems. The research aims to uncover the molecular basis for parasite susceptibility in the Daphnia-Metschnikowia host-parasite system and determine...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study parasitism-induced changes in host behavior across scales from the molecular basis to community impacts. The grant falls under the Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Funding will support research from August 2021 to July 2023 examining how parasites alter host behavior at the molecular, individual, and population levels to investigate linkages between these scales and community-level consequences. The grant recipient, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will analyze molecular mechanisms of host manipulation by parasites and relate findings to impacts on host populations and communities.
