This Project Grant award in the amount of $144,912 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to investigate the factors shaping host-associated microbial communities using the honey bee as a model system. The research aims to integrate concepts from ecology and evolution to understand how environmental factors, species interactions, and evolutionary dynamics influence the composition of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the role of symbiotic yeasts in structuring bumble bee nest microbial communities. The research aims to uncover how antimicrobial compounds produced by these yeasts impact the growth of detrimental microbes, bee health, and bee behavior. Key activities include testing variations in...
This three-year $240,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating host-pathogen dynamics in response to resource pulses in bees. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program of the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure to study how mass blooming cover crops and surrounding landscape floral resources impact bee disease resistance, pathogen infection, and transmission. Specifically, the fellow will examine how resource pulses from vetch crops...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) federal project grant awarded to Montana State University (MSU) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $427,258 to conduct research on the relationships between asymptomatic honey bee virus infections, flight performance, heat stress, and antiviral responses in honey bees. The overarching goal is to elucidate how virus infections impact individual honey bee health and determine the physiological consequences of asymptomatic virus...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Benefits of Yeasts to Bees and Bees to Yeasts" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. The two-year grant will fund postdoctoral...
This $749,651 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to understand how honey bee-associated microbes affect the health, fecundity, and longevity of honey bee queens and overall colony health. The prime awardee, Trustees of Indiana University, will collaborate with researchers at North Carolina State University and Wellesley College as sub-awardees to conduct field...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $138,000 to fund postdoctoral research integrating genes, environment and behavior to understand nutrient foraging in honey bees. The award period is from March 2022 through February 2024, with performance taking place in State College, Pennsylvania. This award supports the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in biology and strengthen the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from July 2024 to June 2027. The fellowship will investigate how honeybee swarms utilize local information to adapt their internal and external structures in response to environmental perturbations such as wind, rain, and temperature changes. The research will involve experimental studies using X-ray...
This $1,120,270 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research into the social and ecological drivers of life history evolution in wild bees. Principal investigator Utah State University will conduct three sets of experiments to investigate how wild bees allocate resources between immunity, reproduction, and longevity as a function of variation in their social and ecological environments. The research aims to determine...
This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, valued at $299,999.00, was awarded to the University of Southern Mississippi to conduct research on honey bee immunity and the impacts of microsporidian parasites. The key objectives are to: 1) generate single-cell RNA sequencing of uninfected and parasite-infected honey bee immune cells (hemocytes) to advance understanding of host-parasite interactions, and 2) investigate...
