This $814,512 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund collaborative research on integrated mechanisms of environment-host-virome interactions in Egyptian fruit bats. The University of California, Davis will lead the project to study how factors like food access, animal health, and immune responses influence viral infection levels in bat populations experiencing variable human exposure. Researchers will use integrative approaches to illuminate...
This three-year, $581,244 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research into integrated mechanisms of environment-host-virome interactions in Egyptian fruit bats. The grant was awarded to Texas Tech University on August 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and increase knowledge of major problems. Specifically, the grant will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $309,184 aims to understand how bats defend against the rabies virus, a deadly pathogen that infects the brain. The principal investigator, Dr. William Carr, will lead this 3-year research effort at the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Medgar Evers College. The project will utilize advanced computational biology approaches, including single-nuclei RNA...
This $486,332 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a multi-year research effort at James Madison University (JMU) to characterize the metabolomes of bacteria associated with bats and identify antifungal molecules that could help protect bats against White-Nose Syndrome. The project leverages natural products chemistry, metabolomics, and synthetic microbial communities to understand how bacterial metabolites protect bats...
This five-year, $2.94 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Cornell University to understand the mechanisms by which land use change triggers zoonotic pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. The grant funds an interdisciplinary team to apply convergent biological, computational, and social science approaches to identify the "rules of emergence" driving land use-induced spillover of bat-borne...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), provides $103,500.00 to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports a research and training plan to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The research aims to identify previously unobserved associations between bats and viruses, using predictive modeling and field validation. The fellow will develop...
This Federal Project Grant award of $1,447,376.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will fund a multidisciplinary investigation into the dynamics of viruses in wild bat populations. The research aims to elucidate how bat behavior and virus shedding patterns shape exposure risk for humans and domestic animals, as well as how bat displacements and other perturbations affect viral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $308,653 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for a 3-year research project investigating the interactive effects of bats and insects on shrub encroachment dynamics in the Chihuahuan Desert. The project aims to quantify bat activity, diet, and arthropod abundance across grass-dominated, shrub-dominated, and transitional habitats to evaluate how insectivorous bats are affected by and...
The University of New Mexico received a $205,869 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds collaborative research to systematically discover and characterize viral diversity across the mammalian tree of life. Researchers will sequence viruses from cryogenically frozen tissue collections of wild mammals stored in natural history museums. This will further the...
