- The National Science Foundation awarded a $413,329 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Colorado Boulder to support research integrating immune system and microbiome function during amphibian development from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The award will fund research examining how the immune system and microbiome interact and influence each other during amphibian growth and maturation. A subaward of $50,000 will support related...
- This $240,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of amphibian skin microbiomes in limiting the growth of deadly fungal pathogens. The research aims to explore the mechanisms by which certain skin microbes inhibit the fungal agents responsible for amphibian population declines, and to pilot the use of "antifungal probiotics" to protect...
- This $945,365 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on how habitat disruptions and fragmentation influence the skin microbiomes of amphibians and their ability to resist fungal infections. The primary objectives are to: 1) experimentally test the "adaptive microbiome principle" by exposing amphibians to varying microbial environments and fungal pathogens in controlled lab conditions, and 2)...
- The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $116,657 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the relationship between deforestation and amphibian microbiomes and the role this plays in disease emergence. The research will examine how habitat fragmentation impacts pathogen exposure rates and the establishment of "microbiome memory" in amphibians, altering disease risk. Field experiments using...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $494,261 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on frog skin evolution and adaptations. The project aims to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years in response to abiotic and biotic factors, 2) experimentally test the ability of anuran skin to decouple respiration and water loss, and 3) incorporate...
