Project Grant 2244620
- The National Science Foundation, under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded Carroll College a $179,949 Project Grant to study the multilevel effects of urbanization on the health of the western deer mouse. This 3-year research project aims to identify the key factors that impact wildlife health in urban areas, as the deer mouse inhabits both urban and rural environments. Researchers will collect data on habitat characteristics and mouse health metrics, such as immune function...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $210,700 Project Grant to Gonzaga University for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: MULTILEVEL EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON WILDLIFE HEALTH: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant, which runs from July 15, 2023, to June 30, 2026, focuses on studying the effects of urbanization on the health of the western deer mouse, a species found in both urban and rural habitats. The researchers will...
- 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 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genomic basis of rapid urban adaptation in house mice. The $240,000 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027, will enable the fellow to: 1) characterize temporal shifts in urban mouse population structure and genetic diversity, and 2) identify genomic signatures of rapid adaptation to urban...
- The University of Denver, through a $382,324.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting collaborative research to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interaction between parasitic botflies and high-elevation deer mice. The research aims to determine whether botflies will expand into higher elevations as the climate warms, and how this may negatively...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $378,135 to fund research linking social-environmental health to the trophic and disease dynamics of urban carnivores. The grant supports a three-year collaborative research project ending September 2025 between the University of California, Berkeley and the State of California. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in cities similarly affect urban carnivore...
- This $396,474 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research examining the links between food security and access to natural resources, particularly wildlife, in the context of urbanization. The project, led by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, uses survey methods to investigate how social and economic factors influence people's ability to access wildlife resources and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,212,841 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Montana. The primary goals of this 4-year grant, which commenced on September 1, 2024, are to: Study three North American bat species affected by white-nose syndrome to understand how they adapt to changes in climate and disease threats. Develop a new disease modeling framework that incorporates wildlife movement, connectivity, and...
- This three-year, $240,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research into how urban environmental heterogeneity and societal inequity shape phenotypic traits in wildlife. The fellow will conduct field research in the San Francisco Bay Area comparing the behavior and physiology of raccoons across high- and low-income neighborhoods, as well as surrounding nonurban areas, to understand how variations in urban living conditions like pollution and green space availability...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $247,406 Project Grant to the University of Portland to conduct collaborative research on the multilevel effects of urbanization on wildlife health. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: MULTILEVEL EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON WILDLIFE HEALTH: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH", will study the impact of urban habitats on the health of the western deer mouse, a species found in both urban and rural areas. The researchers will collect data on habitat characteristics and mouse health metrics, such as immune function and stress, along an urbanization gradient in and around Spokane, Washington. The goal is to identify the key factors that impact wildlife health in urban environments, which has direct relevance to human health given the potential for wildlife-borne diseases. The project will also provide important interdisciplinary training for undergraduate students at three institutions and develop in-class research activities to give hundreds of additional students research experience. This award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance the nation's scientific enterprise.
