This $708,697 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from April 2023 through March 2027 to study the evolution of plague resistance in prairie dogs. The university will conduct whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of resistant and susceptible prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of recently evolved resistance. Researchers will then map mutations associated with resistance to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral researcher investigating how to improve the ability to understand the deep history of population health from evidence in the archaeological record. The project aims to develop and use cutting-edge computational methods, including generative modeling and Bayesian inference, to test the accuracy of current analytical methods in...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the role of pathogens in the success of invasive species. The research will focus on analyzing genomic changes in native and invasive rodent populations in New England over the past 400 years, and the corresponding evolution of their associated pathogens. This will test hypotheses around pathogen release, spillover, and...
This $499,450 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on building cross-disciplinary capacity to understand the complex dynamics of climatic processes, bioaerosols, and infectious pathogens. The network brings together geoscientists and healthcare professionals to develop frameworks for predicting and preventing the transmission of environmentally sensitive, climate/weather-modulated...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, CFDA program 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences), supports research investigating how the transition from subsistence farming to cash crops impacts infectious disease transmission patterns in rural communities. The $500,000 award to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The key products and services delivered under this...
This $108,131 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at Duke University to establish a new efficient simulation method for assessing rare but highly consequential epidemic events. The project aims to identify key risk factors in virus-spreading interactions that can facilitate large outbreaks, using disease models similar to COVID-19 and HIV as case studies. The research will provide improved...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "OPUS: Synthesizing Theory and Data in the Ecology of Zoonotic Diseases: A Multi-System Perspective". The $298,354 award from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 will enable the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to create a comprehensive database and online portal integrating data from various NSF-funded studies on emerging...
This $198,435 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "P4CLIMATE--A Paleo Perspective on the Links Between Climate and Food Security." The project will quantitatively assess shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years by merging paleoclimate, weather generation, and crop modeling data. This research aims to understand the impacts of prolonged droughts,...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop new theory and predictive models for understanding how environmental pressures shape the evolution of virulence in opportunistic bacterial pathogens. The project aims to: (I) Develop and test predictive models of strain-specific virulence, transmission, and environmental origins for the model pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and (II)...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program provides $309,983 to Texas A&M University Health Science Center from September 2021 through August 2025 for a paleodemographic and ancient DNA study of a potential epidemic site in Dallas, Texas. A subaward of $100,000 or less is also provided to the University of South Carolina to support related work on the project. The overarching goal of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic...
