This $836,300 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 to June 2027 to advance insect-mediated bioprocessing as a sustainable treatment technology for poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-contaminated landfilled organic wastes. The principal investigator will investigate how PFAS accumulate in and are potentially degraded by black soldier fly larvae, which have potential...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) aims to integrate wastewater surveillance and human behavior data to enhance epidemiological modeling and outbreak detection. The principal investigators at Lawrence Technological University will pursue three main objectives: (1) developing an early-warning system using wastewater and digital/social behavior data, (2) creating a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $549,999 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to George Washington University. This 5-year award, effective August 1, 2025, aims to elucidate the impact of bacterial association on the infectivity, environmental persistence, and disinfection resistance of enteric viruses. The research will investigate the occurrence, abundance, and removal of emerging bacteria-associated viruses in wastewater treatment and natural...
This $1,999,915 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079). The goal of the "Insects for a Sustainable Environment and Circular Bioeconomy (INSECT)" project is to develop scalable insect farming techniques that can produce sustainable food and feed while generating valuable biomass and biochemical products. The 3-year award supports interdisciplinary...
This $196,163 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) is funding a collaborative research project on developing advanced mathematical models to improve understanding and management of schistosomiasis transmission dynamics. The project is a collaboration between the University of Florida, University of Georgia, and University of Massachusetts, and aims to create innovative hybrid...
This $945,365 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on how habitat disruptions and fragmentation influence the skin microbiomes of amphibians and their ability to resist fungal infections. The primary objectives are to: 1) experimentally test the "adaptive microbiome principle" by exposing amphibians to varying microbial environments and fungal pathogens in controlled lab conditions, and 2)...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $263,392 awarded on October 1, 2021 will fund the development of a spatial-temporal predictive framework for the drinking water microbiome through June 30, 2023. Under the NSF Engineering Directorate's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the awardee Georgia Tech Research Corporation will establish a long-term observatory to monitor microbiome dynamics in Boston's water distribution system. They will develop novel econometric and ecological...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,313 to Lawrence Technological University to enhance dynamic population-level epidemiological models by incorporating wastewater surveillance data. The project aims to improve the estimation of true disease prevalence, enhance forecasting of future COVID-19 cases, and monitor the emergence and evolution of viral variants. Key activities include...
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 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $419,900 to North Carolina State University to characterize the microbial risks associated with tidal flooding caused by sea-level rise. The project aims to: Measure indicator organisms, pathogens, and microbial sources in tidal floodwaters to assess contamination sources and risks to public health. Determine the fate of contaminated floodwaters in adjoining recreational waters...
