This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $236,162 to Clark University from January 2023 through December 2025. The funding will support collaborative research between Clark University and the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil to understand how landscape changes impact zoonotic disease transmission risk in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Specifically, the grant will further the scientific understanding of the relationships between...
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 $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...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding over a 3-year period starting July 1, 2025. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how pathogens influence the success of invasive rodent species in New England. The research will involve generating a historical time transect of native and invasive rodent metagenomes to analyze host genome adaptations and pathogen...
This three-year, $240,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation will support genomic research and public education on wildlife viral emergence in Cambodia. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will enable a postdoctoral fellow to conduct metagenomic surveillance of rodents, mosquitoes, and the environment to detect known and novel viruses. Sequence data will be analyzed alongside climate and landscape data to model zoonotic spillover risk. The fellow...
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 $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $273,043 in funding to North Carolina State University to conduct collaborative research on the interactions between wildfire and disease disturbances and their impact on coastal forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: 1) quantifying the sensitivity of forest-to-shrubland transitions to repeated fire and...
