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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $272,547 to Arkansas State University to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of snail-symbiont interactions. The project aims to uncover how environmental conditions shape the distribution and genetic diversity of freshwater invertebrate hosts and their parasites. Through field studies, outdoor experiments, and laboratory work, the research will explore how...
This $240,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research and outreach activities through August 2026. The grant supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology to investigate parasitic threats to fish health in collaboration with the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. The fellow will conduct a broad assessment of fish pathogens in over 250 lakes on and near the Lac du Flambeau Reservation to determine prevalence and severity. Research activities include...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by Michigan State University to quantify resource dynamics between parasites and their hosts. The $300,000 grant, awarded on March 1, 2025, will employ state-of-the-art analytical chemistry techniques to determine the resource requirements of parasites across their life cycle and the spatiotemporal dynamics of resources at the tissue and whole-host levels that impact...
