- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $471,214 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. The grant supports long-term research on the dynamics between resource pulses, rodents, ticks, and Lyme disease risk in oak forests. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting new data on tick numbers and survival across different life stages, integrating this into models to forecast Lyme disease risk....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $2,459,664 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on September 1, 2025. The grant will support a 5-year research project to investigate the eco-social dynamics of tick-borne pathogens along urbanization gradients. The project aims to identify high-risk settings for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses by collecting and modeling data on wildlife,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $1,799,160 to the University of Maine System to investigate the management of interacting human and ecosystem health threats in private woodland areas of northern New England. The research project will examine how social learning and cultural adaptation among private woodland owners influences the forest-tick system, devise strategies to manage invasive plants in the context of tick...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $417,845 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to adapt an in vitro human skin model for studying Borrelia burgdorferi transmission and colonization by the blacklegged deer tick (Ixodes scpaularis). The project aims to modify the skin model to increase tick feeding efficiency, demonstrate B. burgdorferi transmission and...
- This $233,022 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Gettysburg College to investigate how the foraging behavior of disease vectors, such as flies, influences the transmission of trypanosome infections within a tropical frog community. The project will integrate insights from sensory and disease ecology to determine how the cue-oriented behavior of these vectors mediates disease spread in mixed-species frog...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), provides $461,375 to Yale University to systematically identify interactions between Lyme disease bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi) and the extracellular, secreted, and transmembrane proteins of the tick vector Ixodes scapularis. The goal is to develop a better understanding of the critical pathogen-vector...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $429,998 project grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Florida, and Smith College. This collaborative research project, titled "Moth Monitoring 2.0: Developing an Integrated Monitoring Framework Across Life Stages to Understand Insect Declines," aims to develop a large-scale network to study the abundance and seasonality of moths across...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $640,129 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC). The purpose of the grant is to conduct research on deciphering the regulatory networks of the Borrelia burgdorferi (BB) bacterium, which causes Lyme disease, as it transitions between tick vectors and mammalian hosts. Key areas...
- 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 Project Grant award of $535,370.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project to study the effects of warming and biotic interactions on aphid populations in a Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The research aims to improve understanding of factors that affect insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Through field experiments, the project will test how interactions between...
