The Biological Sciences program supports basic research to increase scientific knowledge and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $335,268 to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the evolutionary conservation of a group of viral proteins that help viruses evade the immune systems of a wide range of animals, including birds, reptiles, and insects. The research aims to uncover whether viruses have used similar immune evasion tactics for millions of years, even before humans existed. The...
- The University of New Mexico was awarded a $497,969 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026. The grant funds collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MIM: THE IMPACT OF THE FUNGAL MICROBIOME IN METAL TOLERANCE AND SOIL BIOGEOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS." The research aims to advance understanding of major...
- This Project Grant award of $392,500.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports a research program at Arizona State University (ASU) focused on improving the understanding of cross-species viral transmission from wild mammals to humans. The key objectives of the five-year project are to: 1) develop automated tools to curate and maintain up-to-date taxonomic data on mammal and virus species, 2) test...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $817,970 project grant to The University of North Carolina at Charlotte under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for a three-year period from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024. The grant will support research studying the evolution of the antiviral pathway in a cnidarian model interacting with diverse viral communities. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's...
- 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...
The University of New Mexico received a $205,869 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds collaborative research to systematically discover and characterize viral diversity across the mammalian tree of life. Researchers will sequence viruses from cryogenically frozen tissue collections of wild mammals stored in natural history museums. This will further the understanding of host-virus evolution and identify high and low risk viral pathogens. Researchers will initially survey nearly 600 mammalian species, then intensively sample lineages with rich viral communities to analyze virus-virus and host-virus interactions. New and known viral sequences will be used to test assumptions about viral diversity and host traits. Pairs of mammal and virus lineages showing elevated rates of host switching will be analyzed to identify traits associated with such events. The award period is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027.
