This National Science Foundation project grant of $739,197 supports collaborative research on environment-host-virome interactions among Egyptian fruit bat populations from August 2022 to July 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award aims to examine how factors like food access, health, and immune responses influence viral burdens in bat colonies experiencing variable human exposure. Researchers will assess relationships between landscape resources,...
The $263,801 National Science Foundation Project Grant supported collaborative research between US and Brazilian institutions to understand the impact of land use change on zoonotic disease risk in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The research aims to develop tools for predicting the effects of deforestation and forest restoration on complex rodent-pathogen networks and spillover risk of viral diseases. It will evaluate how habitat loss and landscape structure affect functional diversity, viral...
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, $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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $714,745 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on July 15, 2022. The grant will fund research from July 2022 through June 2025 to identify the ecological role of spillover outcome on the evolution of disease emergence. The researcher will characterize virus dynamics and pathogen evolution following exposure of Caenorhabditis nematode hosts to...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,212,841 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana to study how bats adapt to climate change and the disease white-nose syndrome. The project will develop a new computer model to forecast bat movement and genetics across large landscapes, helping predict future disease transmission between wildlife and humans. Key objectives include studying three North American bat species, and engaging...
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 $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 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...
