- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "OPUS: Synthesizing Theory and Data in the Ecology of Zoonotic Diseases: A Multi-System Perspective". The $298,354 award from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 will enable the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to create a comprehensive database and online portal integrating data from various NSF-funded studies on emerging...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, CFDA program 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences), supports research investigating how the transition from subsistence farming to cash crops impacts infectious disease transmission patterns in rural communities. The $500,000 award to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The key products and services delivered under this...
- This $714,816 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Washington from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in urban areas impact the trophic and disease dynamics of carnivore populations. Specifically, the project will examine links between toxicant exposure, altered diets, and disease risk for urban carnivores in...
- This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research to develop new mathematical models and statistical methods for detecting changes in the rate of infectious disease spillover from wildlife to humans and livestock. The $224,888 award, spanning September 2025 to August 2028, will allow researchers at the University of Idaho to tackle this important challenge...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Virginia to develop data-driven, multimodal methods for behavior-based epidemiological modeling. The key objectives are to: Improve techniques for deriving meaningful insights from imperfect, real-world sensor data like mobile phones and search engine logs to capture complex human behaviors in real-time. Couple agent-based disease models...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $2,459,664 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on September 1, 2025. The grant will support a 5-year research project to investigate the eco-social dynamics of tick-borne pathogens along urbanization gradients. The project aims to identify high-risk settings for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses by collecting and modeling data on wildlife,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $395,122 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct research on the link between environmental factors, animal movement, and disease transmission. The key objectives of this 3-year grant are to: (1) learn to use a novel movement-contact model called MOVESTIR, (2) expand the MOVESTIR model to understand how...
- 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...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $200,000 awarded to Georgetown University on July 15, 2022 will fund research investigating the relationship between population density and infectious disease dynamics in animal populations. The research will analyze dozens of wildlife disease datasets using meta-analyses to examine whether individuals in high-density areas have higher pathogen loads, whether specific interactions that spread disease become more likely with higher host densities, and whether these relationships can explain density effects for diseases spread through those interactions. Findings from this research conducted under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aim to form the basis for improved general models of disease dynamics by predicting density-infection interactions, thereby strengthening understanding of major problems confronting infectious disease spread and control in densely populated areas.
