This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
This five-year, $490,536 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and education activities to understand how genetic and ecological sources of variation affect host-pathogen dynamics. The principal investigator will conduct field and laboratory experiments to determine how intraspecific variation in pathogen life history traits and host susceptibility influence outcomes of pathogen strain competition and long-term...
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 $1,108,345 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to characterize the evolutionary transition of host-microbe interactions from commensal symbionts to blood parasites in apicomplexan organisms, which include the parasites that cause malaria. The project, led by the University of Rhode Island, will use advanced microscopy and genomics to compare the cellular invasion machinery between...
This Project Grant award of $133,203 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award supports a collaborative research project among the University of Florida, University of Georgia, and University of Massachusetts Amherst to develop advanced mathematical models to improve understanding and management of schistosomiasis transmission dynamics, with a focus on the transition from high to low transmission phases...
This three-year, $388,229 National Science Foundation project grant supports research assessing the systematics and diversity of haemoporidia in African lizards. The primary awardee, Villanova University, will collaborate with sub-awardee University of Michigan-Dearborn on generating reptile genetic data, preliminary vector screening, and phylogenetic analyses to advance understanding of haemoporidia species delimitation and the processes driving their diversity across host clades and biomes....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $1,004,225 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to study the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasitism on host fitness. The project will use a custom drug delivery method to remove parasitic worms from a wild lizard population and measure the impacts on host health, survival, reproduction, and lifetime fitness. The results will advance understanding of infectious disease ecology and evolution, and...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct research on the "Thermal Community Ecology of Disease" over a 2-year period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. This research project under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) seeks to understand how changes in temperature impact the dynamics of infectious diseases within ecological...
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...
