This $2,370,227 five-year Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences), is funding research to understand the relationship between temperature variations and disease dynamics, particularly in amphibians. The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College is leading this multidisciplinary project, which combines lab experiments, field data, and modeling to elucidate how host temperature, host behavior,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to determine the functional and physiological tradeoffs of thermal plasticity on ectotherm hosts combatting a novel pathogen. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Most research supported by this...
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 (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $928,161 Project Grant to The Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to resolve multi-scale ecological consequences of thermal refuges amidst climate warming. Over a five-year period ending April 2028, the grantee will document the extent and patterns of diversity associated with thermal refuges in freshwater ecosystems. Research will assess population-level costs and benefits of...
This $335,911 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The grant will support collaborative research examining how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may permanently shift coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The 3-year project integrates field monitoring, competition experiments, and modeling to: 1) quantify the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $2,746,722 Project Grant to Alaska Pacific University (APU) to conduct research on how variation in host susceptibility to pathogens arises and shifts across thermal gradients. The 5-year project from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028 will test mechanistic models using laboratory and field data on Pacific herring, a key marine forage fish, and their cold- and warm-water adapted pathogens. This research aims to increase...
The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year, $240,000 Project Grant to support research investigating the effects of temperature on community assembly of nectar microbes in a native North American plant species. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will allow the grantee to study temperature responses of nectar microbe growth rates and model species interactions under experimental conditions simulating different temperature regimes. Key products...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "A Mechanistic Approach to How the Interaction of Ecology and Evolution Determine the Response of Communities to Temperature" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic research promoting progress in the biological sciences and strengthening understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
