The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $599,988 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct an historical and ethnographic study on "The Agencies of Animal Governance in Los Angeles". The goal of this three-year project, starting on September 1, 2023, is to understand the cohabitation of humans and animals in American cities and how government agencies' approaches to urban animals have changed over...
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) received a $399,967 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) to plan and facilitate a workshop on the benefits and risks of publishing studies involving in silico modeling and computational approaches to understand and design biological systems. The workshop aims to define critical issues associated with the publication of such studies, which may fall under the purview of the U.S. Government's Policy for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $200,000 supports research to investigate how different stakeholders, from government officials to the general public, use and perceive information about the evolving H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks in U.S. dairy cattle. The project aims to enhance national health interests by providing insights to guide better communication and decision-making for safeguarding...
This three-year, $240,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation will support genomic research and public education on wildlife viral emergence in Cambodia. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will enable a postdoctoral fellow to conduct metagenomic surveillance of rodents, mosquitoes, and the environment to detect known and novel viruses. Sequence data will be analyzed alongside climate and landscape data to model zoonotic spillover risk. The fellow...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $458,718 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Illinois to conduct a collaborative research study on how the antimicrobial functions of immune cells, specifically neutrophils, scale with body mass in terrestrial mammals. The research will investigate how neutrophil antibacterial responses, gene expression, and energetics vary across mammalian species ranging from mice to elephants. The project aims...
This three-year, $1.388 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to develop integrated distribution models for approximately 100 North American mammal species. The grantee, Friends of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, will create continental scale species distribution models using traditional museum data integrated with new camera trap and citizen science data. This will allow for analysis of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,062,921 to the University of Washington will support research to better understand how institutional distrust and population displacement to urban centers impact the transmission of the zoonotic disease brucellosis. The project will leverage strong US-Israel research collaboration to measure human-animal contact networks among Bedouin communities in southern Israel, where brucellosis burden is...
The $263,801 National Science Foundation Project Grant supported collaborative research between US and Brazilian institutions to understand the impact of land use change on zoonotic disease risk in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The research aims to develop tools for predicting the effects of deforestation and forest restoration on complex rodent-pathogen networks and spillover risk of viral diseases. It will evaluate how habitat loss and landscape structure affect functional diversity, viral...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to enhance understanding of human-wildlife interactions in the face of global change, with a focus on birds worldwide. The fellow will develop a new modeling framework and global database to predict human-wildlife interactions and determine key drivers....
