This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $652,022 to the University of Hawaii to conduct collaborative research on biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The project integrates rapid assessment technologies, including satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring, with arthropod metabarcoding to forecast changes in insect and spider populations. The goal is to infer processes shaping...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657) provides $1,393,541 to the University of Hawaii to implement the Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) for mosquito population suppression on the island of Kauai. The goal is to reduce the population of the Culex mosquito, the vector for avian malaria, and prevent further extinction of endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper species...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $447,675 Cooperative Agreement under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation Program (CFDA 15.657) to the University of Hawaii (UH) to continue implementing the Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) on the island of Maui. This project aims to reduce the population of the Culex mosquito, the vector of avian malaria, in order to protect the endangered Kiwiku (Maui Parrotbill) and Kohekohe (Palmeria doeli) honeycreeper...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $977,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate how climate change and land use shifts may impact the synchronization between mosquito vectors and bird hosts, and the implications for West Nile Virus transmission. The research will leverage a combination of modeling, causal inference, citizen science, and field data collection to understand how...
The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources will receive $1.67 million under a Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1, to support the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation federal grant program (CFDA 15.657). The funding will enable efforts to advance the use of Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) to suppress mosquito populations and reduce the risk of avian malaria transmission endangering four endemic Hawaiian...
This $167,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to examine biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The key goals are to: Integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in insect and spider populations using DNA-based metabarcoding techniques. Measure the velocity and extent of non-native plant invasions using satellite, aerial,...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $794,656 Cooperative Agreement to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657). The funding will support a 2.5-year project to characterize mosquito population distributions and assess the impact of an Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) deployment to suppress the mosquito vector for avian malaria, which threatens the endangered...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod DNA metabarcoding across different landscapes in the Hawaiian Islands. The goal is to infer the processes shaping biodiversity and its decline, and how these can be captured remotely across varying scales and degrees of human impact. The researchers will integrate rapid assessment...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024 titled "Mosquito-Borne Disease Networks and Variation in Transmission Traits Across a Gradient of Anthropogenic Impact." The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of advancing the biological sciences and strengthening the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate olfactory learning and neuromodulation in the Aedes aegypti mosquito from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The research aims to understand how odor learning modifies mosquitoes' biting behaviors through three objectives: testing whether mosquitoes only learn certain odors corresponding to antennal lobe glomeruli tuning;...
