- The Middle Tennessee State University was awarded an $870,000 three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MIM: GUT-INHABITING FUNGI INFLUENCE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF HERPTILE MICROBIOMES THROUGH HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER AND NOVEL METABOLIC FUNCTION." The grant falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic research to advance understanding of major problems and strengthen...
- This $945,365 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on how habitat disruptions and fragmentation influence the skin microbiomes of amphibians and their ability to resist fungal infections. The primary objectives are to: 1) experimentally test the "adaptive microbiome principle" by exposing amphibians to varying microbial environments and fungal pathogens in controlled lab conditions, and 2)...
- 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 $240,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of amphibian skin microbiomes in limiting the growth of deadly fungal pathogens. The research aims to explore the mechanisms by which certain skin microbes inhibit the fungal agents responsible for amphibian population declines, and to pilot the use of "antifungal probiotics" to protect...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Ecological and Genetic Structuring of a Pathogen Microbiome and Its Effect on Virulence" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $413,329 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Colorado Boulder to support research integrating immune system and microbiome function during amphibian development from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The award will fund research examining how the immune system and microbiome interact and influence each other during amphibian growth and maturation. A subaward of $50,000 will support related...
- This NSF Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $600,000 to Emory University will investigate how microbiome communities, which are communities of bacteria and other microbes that live in and on organisms, can resist change and transition to alternate states. The project will use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host to better define the stability and properties of alternate microbiome states, as well as how factors like antibiotic treatment and host...
- This $1,353,246 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will fund research into the role of macrophages in amphibian skin antifungal defenses against the deadly chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to define the interactions between frog macrophage subsets and Bd, examine the effects of Bd on interactions between frog macrophages...
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology to examine the role of parasite interactions in emerging fungal disease in snakes. The fellowship recipient will conduct field surveys, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to test the "macro-micro facilitation hypothesis" in wild snakes focusing on the fungal microparasite Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, which causes the emerging skin disease ophidiomycosis. The fellow will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083), awarded a $189,772 Project Grant to the University of Puerto Rico's Research and Development Center Division at the Mayagüez Campus. This 3-year grant, effective June 1, 2024, supports research to investigate the acquisition, assembly, and function of microbial communities within Puerto Rican reptile species. The project aims to advance scientists' understanding of reptile microbiomes in natural...
