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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences, CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $265,000 in funding to the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The project aims to enhance mathematical models to investigate the influences of climate change on zoonotic disease transmission, or the transmission of infectious diseases from animals to humans. The research team will use...
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 (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct research on the "Thermal Community Ecology of Disease" over a 2-year period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. This research project under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) seeks to understand how changes in temperature impact the dynamics of infectious diseases within ecological...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $283,164 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop physiology-based mechanistic models to forecast the responses of sand fly vector species to coarse-scale environmental changes like climate change, as well as fine-scale changes from land use modifications. The project aims to (1) determine the physiological parameters that influence the geographical spread and...
This five-year, $2.5 million Project Grant was awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture on August 1, 2022 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA #10.310). The grant funds modeling of chronic wasting disease transmission between deer and the environment, with a focus on quantifying prion concentrations and dissipation rates across potential reservoir sites like mineral licks, scent...
This $100,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports an interdisciplinary research and educational project focused on understanding the complexity of vector-borne disease transmission, specifically in a lizard-malaria system in Puerto Rico. The key products and services to be delivered through this 5-year project include: Developing mathematical models to describe...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $500,000 to Carleton College from October 1, 2022 through August 31, 2027 to develop a modeling framework for understanding parasite transmission dynamics. The project aims to link ecology, behavior, immunology and spatial/temporal variation to better predict the spread of helminth parasites through multiple host species, including fish-eating birds, copepods, and threespine stickleback...
This $199,049 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to understand how visits by migratory animals like birds, bats, and insects impact plants at stopover sites during their annual migrations. The primary objectives are to use computer modeling to examine how these migratory animals, through pollination, seed dispersal, and other ecological interactions, affect the growth and spread of...
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...
