- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $611,022 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Oklahoma. The grant is for a collaborative research project titled "Tracking Pathogen Sharing Across a Vampire Bat-Cattle Contact Network". The project aims to characterize dynamic, multi-species contact networks between vampire bats and livestock, and map pathogen-sharing networks by analyzing genetic similarity among common viral,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to characterize the contact network between vampire bats and livestock, and map the transmission of common pathogens across this network. The $241,549 award to The Trustees of Princeton University will fund the use of animal-borne proximity sensors to track bat-livestock interactions, and genetic sequencing to identify shared pathogens. The goal is to develop a better...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $594,617.00 to the University of Tennessee for a 3-year collaborative research project from October 2025 to September 2028. The project aims to characterize the dynamic contact networks between vampire bats and livestock to better understand and predict the transmission of pathogens, including rabies virus and coronaviruses, across these species. The research...
- This $399,360 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program will support research focused on understanding the interplay between parasites, animal migration, and animal behavior. The research team at the University of Minnesota will develop novel mathematical models and utilize existing empirical data to explore how migratory animals cope with managing multiple parasite infections simultaneously, and how this influences their...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $395,122 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct research on the link between environmental factors, animal movement, and disease transmission. The key objectives of this 3-year grant are to: (1) learn to use a novel movement-contact model called MOVESTIR, (2) expand the MOVESTIR model to understand how...
- The University of New Mexico received a $205,869 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds collaborative research to systematically discover and characterize viral diversity across the mammalian tree of life. Researchers will sequence viruses from cryogenically frozen tissue collections of wild mammals stored in natural history museums. This will further the...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $270,000.00 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship on "Pathogen-Host Genomic Interactions as Drivers of Invasion Success". The fellowship will run from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 and will examine how viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens influence the success or failure of invasive species, using wild rodents in New England as a model system. The research aims to...
