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 $2,212,841 project grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana. This 4-year project, titled "A Spatially-Explicit Model of Bat Evolution and Pathogen Transmission Dynamics in Complex Changing Landscapes", will study how bats in North America are adapting to the disease white-nose syndrome and climate change. The project aims to develop a new disease modeling framework that integrates wildlife...
This $486,332 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a multi-year research effort at James Madison University (JMU) to characterize the metabolomes of bacteria associated with bats and identify antifungal molecules that could help protect bats against White-Nose Syndrome. The project leverages natural products chemistry, metabolomics, and synthetic microbial communities to understand how bacterial metabolites protect bats...
This $814,512 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund collaborative research on integrated mechanisms of environment-host-virome interactions in Egyptian fruit bats. The University of California, Davis will lead the project to study how factors like food access, animal health, and immune responses influence viral infection levels in bat populations experiencing variable human exposure. Researchers will use integrative approaches to illuminate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), provides $103,500.00 to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports a research and training plan to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The research aims to identify previously unobserved associations between bats and viruses, using predictive modeling and field validation. The fellow will develop...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $739,197 supports collaborative research on environment-host-virome interactions among Egyptian fruit bat populations from August 2022 to July 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award aims to examine how factors like food access, health, and immune responses influence viral burdens in bat colonies experiencing variable human exposure. Researchers will assess relationships between landscape resources,...
This five-year, $2.94 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Cornell University to understand the mechanisms by which land use change triggers zoonotic pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. The grant funds an interdisciplinary team to apply convergent biological, computational, and social science approaches to identify the "rules of emergence" driving land use-induced spillover of bat-borne...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod metabarcoding across a geological age gradient in the Hawaiian Islands. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in high-impact insect and spider populations tracked by their DNA. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the history and evolution of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (BD). The research aims to: Develop new genetic tools to selectively sequence DNA from BD and its amphibian hosts, even in highly contaminated and fragmented samples. Use these new genetic tools to genotype BD...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $309,184 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Medgar Evers College to support a 3-year research project aimed at understanding how bats defend against the rabies virus. The project, led by Dr. William Carr, an expert in human innate immunity, will utilize advanced computational biology tools such as explainable artificial intelligence and...
